what software package are you using to process x100 raw files...

i'm guessing that over 90% will be answering lightroom...
 
I don't have an X100 either but I suggest you look at ACDSee Pro as a possibility. A very nice program to use "if" it supports the X100 files...
 
Non Nikon files go thru Photoshop. CS5 raw processor and LR
have the same conversion engine and work exactly the same.
 
Convert the files from RAF to tifs with Sickly Pix then do the necessarys in ACDSee Pro 3.

I can't afford the latest RAF compliant version of Lightroom and I'm very used to working with ACDSee.

I love ACDSee Pro but their updating of raw file support is god awful. I had my M8 a long time before they eventually got around to including Leica's DNG format.

I note they are now up to version 4 (I have version 3) and when they include support for RAF files I'll be a happy camper. Their user interface is far better than Lightroom IMO.
 
read up more on RPP and whilst it might not be fast it seems to do a better job than ACR and it passes converted files direct to any application that you add to its list.
So you should be able convert from RAF with some controls and when you hit save it opens the file in PSE. So the only downside is the speedand little learning but you get best quality raw conversion.
Just sayin.....
 
Don't have an X100 but Capture One Pro is my RAW developer. Photoshop (almost) not needed, Lightroom retained as DAM.
 
Lightroom, but have stopped using RAW as the in-camera jpg engine is so good.

SilkyPix is very nasty.

So LR with Auto-DR enabled is giving very good results. If it goes to 400% then just push the fill light slider to taste, the highlights are very well protected.

I am interested in trying Capture One Pro though.
 
I don't own a X100 but my son uses the FinePix S6500fd and for raws preprocessing we use RawTherapee, before entering Gimp if any further processing is required.
