- strogonoff 3 hours agoWhile file format (RAF, DNG) often is an acronym, “raw” by itself simply references raw image data; it is not an acronym, not a trademark, and does not need all caps.
The mistake of “shouting” raw is perpetuated in the wild even by serious companies, but let’s not let Apple degrade our literacy[0]. I’ll point to Adobe which does, in fact, use the correct spelling[1].
[0] It is fine when used as part of idiomatic spelling of their product or trademark (“ProRes RAW HQ”, etc.), but IIRC their promotional materials and even developer docs do shout it when simply referencing raw image data, which is a little ridiculous.

[-]- QuantumNomad_ 1 hour agoNever thought about that. Always wrote it all uppercase because that’s what camera maker Canon consistently does from what I’ve seen.
If I search for Canon raw on Google the Canon owned websites that I see writes it all uppercase; RAW.
One of their pages that I find even makes note of that:
> The letters RAW do not stand for anything – it's just a convention that RAW is usually written in capital letters – and the names of RAW files from Canon cameras do not end in .RAW.
[-]- jcelerier 1 hour agoI'd expect a cause is that most camera makers are Japanese, and it's not uncommon in Japan to uppercase words written in Latin alphabet for aesthetic reasons
- kybernetyk 44 minutes agoFunny, I've been shooting digitally since 2007 and I've never seen RAW spelled other than RAW. I guess we've been doing it all wrong :shrug:
- heipei 38 minutes agoThis is amazing, thank you for launching it. I know this webapp itself will make me more likely to look at raw photos on my Fuji once again.
- karmasimida 2 hours agoThe only reliable raw converter that can handle Fuji color is Capture One. But they have collaboration with Fuji, I don't believe that conversion algorithm is open sourced.
But it would be interesting if AI coding agent could potentially reverse engineer the algorithm.
[-]- heipei 2 hours agoLike the native Fujifilm software, this does not do raw conversion itself. It uses the processor in the camera to do the conversion.[-]
- riedel 1 hour agoSmart move of Fujifilm. That will the future of software licencing with AI breaking copyright. Software will come encrypted and only run on secure processors. AI will push us further into an age of cloud, software DRM and software patents. The rest will be effectively public domain.
- zx8080 3 hours ago> FilmKit uses WebUSB to connect directly to your camera, your camera's own image processor handles the conversion. FilmKit is a static client-side app, hosted on Github Pages[-]
- tuukkah 2 hours agoIsn't that same as a jpeg then?
Edit: There are some parameters:
> FilmKit communicates PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) over USB, the same protocol that X RAW STUDIO uses. The camera does all the heavy lifting: it receives the RAF file and conversion parameters, processes them, and returns a JPEG.
- notcodingtoday 2 days agoWanted to edit camera profiles on Linux, couldn't get the official app to run in Wine, so I built my own https://filmkit.eggrice.soy
I also personally find the original app infuriating to use, takes a lot of click & wait to modify a profile.
[-]- lun3x 2 hours agoThis is really cool! I see you’ve got screenshot of it running on Android, could this ever also work on iOS? I tried in iOS on Chrome, but I just see “WebUSB not supported. Use Chrome, Edge, or Brave.”.
