Fuji X (T20) RAW support in OpticsPro

Hi.

This message will be a little technical, but it gives more insight about why Xtrans are not supported. Apart from the need to rewrite demosaicing algorithm to adapt it to XTrans structure (which every competitor supporting XTrans had to do), main specificity of OpticsPro / PhotoLab is that it already does many processing BEFORE demosaicing, for example to get a more efficient denoising (demosaicing changes noise structure - making grain rougher - and makes it more difficult to remove after that). For instance, we would need to deeply adjust algorithms like PRIME (or also our more standard denoising). Thus keeping Photolab specificities in image quality on XTrans comes with a high cost of development, that we preferred until know to invest in features dealing with a larger base of customers.
