Fuji RAF support

[timharville]

Hi guys,

I know this has been addressed in older threads, but it's been a couple of years - is there any way Photo Mechanic can embed metadata in Fuji raw files (.RAF)? It appears, as of version 4.6.6, that you can still only store XMP in a sidecar file. In a thread from 2008 (http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=3122.0), Kirk said it's not a TIFF based format and Fuji hasn't documented it - just wondering if that's still the case. We're looking to add a couple of the new X100s to our workflow for situations where we need a silent camera.

Thanks-
Tim Harville

Do you have any sample images from that model that you could share?

Thanks, Kirk. I'd be happy to send a sample file - just let me know where to send or FTP it.

Tim,

I got your two samples.  The format is still not similar to other formats like CR2 and NEF.  Photo Mechanic cannot embed metadata into anything but TIFF-based RAW formats.
