I have a Fuji X-T5 camera which I haven't really used, and have almost no workflow for.

Could someone explain what this software does?

And I'd also appreciate any software and workflow people use.

Would prefer Linux software, but macOS is okay if the quality/ ease of use is too different.

When taking photo's on the Fuji it stores both RAW and JPG file - the camera's settings (film simulation, exposure, white balance, grain etc.) are all 'baked in' to the JPG. This app (and the official X RAW Studio) allows you to use the camera's onboard processor to modify the RAW files with these settings (or recipes, to use the term adopted by the Fujifilm community) after the fact, and re-export the photo as JPG. It's super useful for figuring out which recipes you prefer for different types of shot!

I'd also recommend checking out Fuji X Weekly [0] for recipe ideas and example shots if you want some inspiration.
