Hi @kealan - Color.io is using libRAW for for parsing RAW files so proper support for these files depends entirely on that library. Lightroom is most definitely applying a number of proprietary optimisations for noise reduction and lens correction based on exif data, none of which I have the capacity to develop for Color.io right now.
Still, as soon as libRAW properly parses X-T5 files, Color.io will be able to do it as well. Hopefully soon!
@monokee Thank you for the quick response! That's good to know, I'll keep an eye on
that. I've found a workaround in the meantime, converting to .dng using
Adobe's DNG converter allows the file to parse correctly.
Love the app and the results I get out of it, it's super inspiring!

@monokee I see this camera isn't supported as of version 0.21:

But seems like it is as of the 202403 snapshot (whatever that is my laymen
eyes do not know): https://www.libraw.org/supported-cameras-202403

@kealan I'm using the latest snapshot, however that list only refers to basic file parsing support which is why you can render an image from the X-T5 raw data at all. Applying automatic lens corrections and sensor cropping is not guaranteed by this.
BTW I'm thinking about adding manual denoising and lens distortion correction tools to Color.io which would at least allow you to correct things yourself. I'd likely add these tools to the image editing workspace where you can currently crop/rotate/etc.
@monokee Ah that makes sense, thanks for the clarification!
That would be amazing, I'd be happy to see that for sure. Thanks a lot!

@monokee Thought I was onto something with that .dng conversion workaround. It only
solves the black bars, but unfortunately the noise is still extreme.

@monokee @kealan continuing to keep this updated in case any folks are in the same boat, but using DxO Pure Raw to convert to DNG before importing into here has amazing results, clears up the pictures super nicely. Only downside is a slight increase in filesize
@monokee @kealan Capture One also have a complimentary RAW converter if you have your serial number handy, which could achieve similar results. I'll test and report back!
@monokee just to keep you updated on this one, I've been using DxO PureRaw to process the raw, correct noise, and fix the "black bar" issue that a lot of folks seem to be having with newer Fuji cameras.
This workflow only leaves me with one issue. If I export from PureRaw as a 16bit TIFF, the imported file will be oversaturated. If I export as a DNG, it will be undersaturated and lack contrast. For the DNG, opening in another software (even windows photos) will show a version that will more closely resemble the raw file.
I'll post an example of this later on if you need!
@kealan thanks for the detailed update! The oversaturation / undersaturation issue likely is a color management mismatch. Color.io does not use the ICC profiles embedded into files and requires fully manual color managed using input and output device transforms. To address the oversaturation of the Tiff files, you'll likely have to set your input and output color space to Display P3 (which is the recommended color profile for multi-app round trips - see https://www.color.io/user-guide/create-luts-for-adobe-lightroom).
@kealan @monokee fantastic, that does it! Thanks a lot!
