Cant open uncompressed Fujifilm X-H1 Raf on Ipad Pro 11"

[JGKK]

Hello,

Although I switched my X-H1 one to uncompressed raw I cant open the files in affinity photo on the ipad (ios 12.1, 11" Ipad pro). They show just fine in Preview on the Mac wich the compressed files didnt. When I import a file from Icloud into Affinity Photo on the Ipad I get a black screen and It says no camera Data at the top. Do you have any Idea what the problem could be?

Best regards Johannes

I've just downloaded a sample RAW from the Fujifilm X-H1 and I get the same results as you. Affinity Photo for iPad uses the Apple RAW engine built into iOS so it may be that Apple has to improve the support in iOS for that model before Photo will open it.

Preview on macOS may be opening an embedded JPEG preview. In the meantime you could use Adobes DNG converter to convert to a more generic DNG file.

Yes but in the official list of supported cameras for IOS 12 ( https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT208967 ) it says that Fujifilm X-H1 uncompressed raf should be supported.

A restart of the IPad solved the problem, the file opens fine now.

Strange how a restart was required as it wouldn't affect how Photo accesses the RAW support, but at least it's opening.

Before the restart after first writing this thread I tried to imported the raw photo from an SD card directly into the Apple photos app on the iPad too. The import itself worked but after it was finished it would show up square and very low res in the library and would not be editable. Definitely looks like an IOS Bug.
