I want to batch-convert a large number of existing Fujifilm .RAF files to JPEG. Lightroom and Silkypix are not giving me results close to the camera’s in-camera JPEG conversion, especially for color and highlight/detail rendering. Is there any desktop software that can reproduce Fujifilm’s in-camera RAW conversion, or at least come very close when converting RAF to JPG in batches?

Typically the only way to replicate the same RAW conversion as a manufacturer uses in camera is to use the software that they provide(typically with the camera). In this case I think you want to first try MyFinePix Studio. I don't have the software, and the website is pretty vague on if it includes RAW conversion or not, they make it sound like strictly a "viewer". But I did find "MyFindPix Studio RAW FILE CONVERTER" that Fuji has on their website for some specific camera models here. So you may have to search the Fuji support site for your specific camera model, but it looks like at least for some cameras they provide this exact software you are looking for.

If you want the closest match to Fujifilm’s in-camera JPEG rendering, the best option is usually Fujifilm’s own software for that camera model. Community answers point to Fuji utilities such as MyFinePix Studio / RAW FILE CONVERTER, which may be available from the support page for your specific camera.
That said, the general consensus is that no third-party converter reproduces Fujifilm’s in-camera processing exactly. Silkypix may be among the closer options, but it still may not match the camera JPEG look. One answer also notes that Capture One 7 gave the best default results they had seen for the X100, though still not an exact replica.
So the practical answer is:
- Check Fuji’s support site for your camera’s bundled RAW converter.
- Don’t expect Lightroom, Silkypix, or other third-party tools to exactly match the in-camera JPEG engine.
- If an exact look matters, shooting RAW+JPEG going forward is a good workaround so you keep the camera-rendered JPEG as a reference or final file.
