The support for FujiFilm cameras was not there in the rawstudio but now the bug reported on the same is marked as fixed and in the next few release, we should see the support for the same. Good going guys.

A very simple script to add border to images :

*for i in .jpg; do montage -geometry 720×576 -background black -quality 100 $i conv-$i; done

This is one line that you can run the directory containing all your images and all the files with extension of ”jpg” will be assumed to be images and the command run on them to add the border. The border is black in color and quality of the border is 100%.
