RAW Power & Nitro Photo: New Releases Greatly Improve Fujifilm RAW Support

Share

Nik Bhatt is a former Aperture developer at Apple, and we have reported about his RAW Power software in the past here on FujIRumors. RAW Power brings Aperture style interface and functions to Mac Photos.

Well, Nik is the developer not only of RAW Power, but also of Nitro Photo (launched in 2024), which was recently named #1 Lightroom alternative by MacObserver here.

Nitro Photo is (mostly) a superset of RAW Power, and adds a bunch of new functionality, including:

  • Advanced masking (brushing, gradients, AI and Depth Masks, and more)
  • XMP support
  • better highlight recovery,
  • N-Up (4 up on iPad, 16 up on Mac)
  • More presets and LUTs
  • Improved Export
  • Improved support for cameras that Apple doesn’t support
  • Better integration both with the Finder and with the Photo Library
  • On and on

Now new versions of Nitro Photo and RAW Power have been released.

While Apple does not support Fujifilm compressed images with their RAW decoder, RAW Power and Nitro do. They accomplish that by extending Apple’s RAW decoder in a unique way. These new updates noticeably improve the decoding quality and also provide automatic lens correction when the RAW files contain lens correction metadata.

Both RAW Power and Nitro are able to browse either the file system (Finder on macOS and Files.app on iOS), and the Apple Photo library. So, for Fujifilm shooters in the Apple ecosystem, these new releases provide a big step up in image quality.

You can check out Nitro Photo here and RAW Power here.

6 Days Left Before Fujifilm’s Second Price Increase – Amazon Still Lists Surprising XF/GF Lens Deals

Share

On August 30, Fujifilm will implement yet another price increase in the USA, affecting a wide range of X, GFX, and Instax gear.

This marks the second price hike this month, following the one that already took effect on August 1.

Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.

  • XF 8mmF3.5 – $869 ($899 regular price – $799 pre-tariffs)
  • XF 16mmF2.8 – 11% discount ($399 instead of $449)
  • XF 10-24mmF4 – 9% discount ($999 instead of $1,099)
  • GF 80mmF1.7 – $2,299 ($2,499 regular price – $2,299 pre-tariffs)
  • GF120mmF4* – $2,699 ($2,949 regular price – $2,699 pre-tariffs)
    *note: the GF120mm is sold by third party sellers

Some gear at Amazon is sold at even lower price than the original launch price.

  • XF33mmF1.4 – $769 (currently $899 – $799 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon.com with free 30 days return policy
  • XF70-300mm – $759 (currently $899 – was $799 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon Japan
  • XF16mm F2.8 silver – $347 (currently $449 – $399 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon Germany

I’m not sure whether import taxes apply when ordering gear from Amazon Germany or Japan. What I do see is that Amazon lists free shipping—but to be safe, double-check at checkout to avoid any unexpected import fees. In any case, we always recommend using your local Amazon branch—for our US readers, that means Amazon USA.

With that said, below you’ll find the complete list of upcoming price increases.
