Xtrans - OOC Jpegs - Raw - Oh My!

I think this is the wrong way to look at it. the RAW files are not more forgiving than the JPEGs. Rather, the JPEGs represent a restriction compared to the RAW files. And that restriction is completely unnecessary. You captured the image properly if it can be rendered properly from the RAW file. If it can't be rendered properly starting with the JPEG file, but can be rendered properly starting with the RAW file, your technique is not at fault. After all, the data are fully there in the RAW file. There seems to be some mythical perception that, if one can't get a decent ooc-JPEG image one's technique must be flawed. Total nonsense.
