Your X-T2 shot Acros first. Now add Eterna and Classic Neg.
The X-T2 was one of the first cameras with Acros, and a favourite for weather-sealed, dial-driven shooting. RAF Film Lab opens its 24 MP RAFs on Mac, iPad and iPhone in the film you shot, and renders the five that came after it.
How do I edit X-T2 RAW files?
The X-T2's 24.3 MP X-Trans III sensor, shared with the X-Pro2, writes 14-bit RAFs, uncompressed or lossless compressed. They open in RAF Film Lab with the film simulation read from each file, so an Acros + R frame opens as Acros + R.
With no in-body stabilisation, the X-T2 was often pushed to higher ISOs indoors. Acros handles that well: its grain is part of the film, and it reads as texture rather than noise.

Eterna arrived on the X-H1, Classic Neg on the X-Pro3, and Bleach Bypass, Nostalgic Neg and Reala Ace later still. None came to the X-T2 by firmware. RAF Film Lab renders all five on X-T2 RAWs.
Our films were measured on the X100VI. Apple applies the X-T2's own colour matrix when it reads the RAW, so the films carry over, but we haven't published a score for this sensor yet. How we measure.
Can the X-T2 develop its own RAWs over USB?
Firmware 3.00 brought X RAW STUDIO support to the X-T2, so RAF Film Lab can send a RAF back to the camera over USB and let its X-Processor Pro develop it. You can also save a recipe as an X RAW STUDIO profile for the X-T2.
- Press MENU/OK and open SET UP (the wrench tab), then CONNECTION SETTING.
- Set PC CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE.
- Connect the X-T2 to your Mac or USB-C iPad with a data cable and turn it on.
Camera render is optional. The camera only develops RAWs it shot itself.

Tips for X-T2 files
- Lossless compressed RAW roughly halves the files with nothing thrown away. It helps when iCloud sync uploads full RAFs.
- Try Eterna on your Classic Chrome frames. It's softer and less contrasty, and it's the film the X-T2 just missed.
- Acros + G for portraits. The green filter lightens skin tones a little less than yellow and keeps lips natural.
- Keep the X-T2 on its latest firmware if you use camera render. Fujifilm's notes for 4.00 mention a conversion problem with older RAFs that a later version fixed.
X-T2 questions
Does RAF Film Lab support the Fujifilm X-T2?
Yes. The X-T2 is on Apple's RAW list for macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and iOS 26, and RAF Film Lab opens its RAFs, uncompressed and lossless compressed, on all three.
Can I use Eterna on X-T2 RAWs?
Yes. The X-T2 never got Eterna, but RAF Film Lab renders it, along with Classic Neg, Bleach Bypass, Nostalgic Neg and Reala Ace.
Can the X-T2 develop RAWs for RAF Film Lab?
Yes. Set PC CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE and connect it over USB; RAF Film Lab sends the RAF and the camera returns its own render.
Are X-T2 and X-Pro2 RAWs the same?
They share the 24.3 MP X-Trans III sensor and X-Processor Pro, so RAF Film Lab treats them the same way.
