RAF Film Lab

Apply a recipe to a photo, a shoot, or your camera

Shot in the wrong film? Apply a recipe to any RAF afterwards, or to a whole day's photos at once. Your own edits stay. Or write the recipe into your camera, to shoot with it next time.

RAF Film Lab on iPad: the Recipes workspace, with the open photo shown in each saved recipe

How do I apply a Fujifilm recipe to a RAW file?

Open a photo, go to the Recipes workspace and tap a recipe. On iPad and the Mac each recipe is a card of that photo developed in it, so you can compare them before you pick. The film and its settings change, and Film Lab develops the photo again.

How do I apply a recipe to many photos at once?

Open the recipe and choose Apply to Photos…, then pick the photos.

  1. Open the recipe in Recipes.
  2. Choose Apply to Photos….
  3. Pick the photos, grouped by the day they were imported.
  4. Apply. Each photo develops in the background.

Your edits stay

Applying a recipe sets only the Develop settings. A photo's own adjustments, masks, crop and retouching stay as they were, so you can try a different look on finished photos.

How do I put a recipe on my Fujifilm camera's C1–C7?

With the camera in USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE mode, touch and hold or right-click a recipe and choose Save to Camera…, then a custom setting slot. The slot it replaces is backed up first, and the recipe is read back and checked before it's reported saved. Next time you shoot, pick C1–C7 and the camera makes JPEGs in that look.

Let the camera develop with it

A photo with a recipe applied can be developed by the camera itself, for exactly the camera's look, or by Film Lab anywhere.

Questions
