The other solution is to open the RAF file in On1, make basic adjustments or more and save it as a PSD file to open it in Affinity. To avoid it, I must disabled this curve and then create a custom one in the Develop Personna where I act on the red channel and push it down a little bit. I found last night that the problem seems to come from the curve applied by the developp wizard. When using Affinity as a RAW converter with my X-T20, I found that I had a small magenta color cast in the blue of the skies that was difficult to remove using only white balance tool. And finally, you can export your job as a PSD file that can easily open in Affinity to go further. You can save many versions of your retouching since all the changes are just written in an XML file.

One excellent thing in On 1 is that you have a full non destructive retouching of your RAW (witch is not the case in Affinity Photo). But it needs a really powerfull computer if you want to go on deep retouching. No need to use the Iridient X-Transformer tool with it. On1 Photo RAW 2019 is an excellent RAW converter for Fuji users. You can tweak ligh, colors contrast and details. Capture One Express Fuji is a really good RAW converter. I read that there is an improvement of X-trans conversion in the next 1.7 version of Affinity Photo. With affinity, I use Iridient X-Transformer. I haven't had any personal experience with Raw Therapee as an X-Trans file converter but have also heard good things about it generally, but nothing as to its ability with Fuji files. But like you say, I think that AP, for my prior X-Trans RAW conversion, has done a better job than LR. This latter situation is also an area where I need to explore AP further to see if it can do what I need for this aspect of editing. I also have AP included as a plug-in for Lightroom so what I could also end up doing, consistent with my past work experience, is bring the DNG files from IXT into LR to have them in the file structure I have set up with LR, & then make the decision as to editing in AP or LR - or even occasional use of Photoshop if I have a need for layers or masks. So until such time as I might be able to use AP for RAW conversion, I will probably convert my RAW files in Iridient X Transformer to DNG & then import them into AP. On another topic in this forum, I received a notice from one of the Affinity Photo forum moderators that my Fuji X-T3 is not a supported camera on either Affinity Photo 1.6.7 or Apple Core RAW yet, but that the earlier X-Trans sensor cameras are supported for RAW conversion.

I think both Iridient X & Affinity Photo do a better job overall than LR, but that is just my opinion. And overall I tend to agree with what Thomas Fitzgerald had to say about the differences between LR, Iridient X & Affinity Photo when it comes to how well these RAF files are converted. So I will continue to work with it to see how it manages these Fuji X files. But after closing Photo down, restarting the computer I was able to get it to open RAF images in the Develop function. It hung up converting a number of my RAF images, but had no problems opening them if I first converted them to a DNG file in either LR or Iridient X Transformer (which I just started to use because it could convert the RAF files when LR couldn't). But I recently bought one of the new Fuji X-T3 cameras & have had intermittent problems opening the RAW files from this system in Affinity Photo. It hasn't been a complete success doing this so now I use both LR & Photoshop, with occasional use of Affinity Photo for some easier to use editing functions.

Coming from Aperture I initially tried to make Affinity Photo my primary editing software but using Lightroom for DAM needs. I've been a Fuji X user since it first came out & also was one of the Beta testers for Affinity Photo when it was first introduced.
