Hi All! Last year I have been using RawStudio software for ma camera (FainePix S5600) but last days I buy FujiFilm X20 with X-Trans sensor. I think is similar to X-E1. RawStudio is not developed any longer and not support any new Fuji sensor, it was the reason why I found Darktable and I very like it. The quality is similar to RawStudio even if is not using adobe '.dcp' color profiles. Any way I also waiting for a day when DT will be able to work with those Fuji sensors. For now what doing is converting RAF file to DNG file version 6 in Adobe DNG converter (its working fine under Wine). The problem is that this version is not support X-Trans sensor and what it is doing is demosaic and save as a 16bit with color profile file. Results is 40MB file instead of 12MB. However with this file you can work in RawStudio and Darktable and the colors are very nice.
I do not have a skills to efficient help in development process but what will be really nice is ability for DT to read DNG files in version 7.1. and properly demosaic data from X-Trans sensors from this files. My first try was to update Libraw library. DT 1.4 is still using version 0.14 and now version 0.16 is available with X-Trans support. Unfortunately after compilation and installation on my Ubuntu 12.04 system can not see any Libraw10 (version 0.16) and it still using old versions. On Launchpad.net only DEB for Ubuntu 14.04 of this new Libraw version is available. I have no idea why. This is the quote from branch with X-Trans support: src/external/LibRaw/internal/dcraw_common.cpp ( “ + // Darktable's temperature iop uses LibRaw to retrieve camera + // white balance. Both X-Trans & Bayer RAF files stores this with + // the same tag, so it's OK to handle X-Pro1 and other X-Trans + // files in that case. Note that this is LibRaw 0.14.7 which won't + // handle the actual raw data. 2014 vintage RawSpeed or LibRaw + // 0.16.0 can. “ I hope to make DT supporting the X-Trans is enough to replace this Libraw library. The problem is that I do not know how to do it.
