Pixel Shift & Raw Therapee Tutorial

Hello everyone. I am putting together a step-by-step video tutorial on how to use Sony Viewer software to create the .ARQ file from pixel shift images and then process it in Raw Therapee.

The video is in beta stage and is 3 minutes long. The problem I am having with the process is at the 1:47 mark after the processing is finished and the image turns dark.

I am looking for any help as I just started using Raw Therapee. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
