That's what Adobe DNG RAW converter and Iridient X-Transformer (Smooth RAW conversion, medium sharpening, Luminance noise reduction default, Color noise reduction default) do to the image:

Can you tell which is which?

PS: Both are gruesome.

This is an excellent depiction of the glitches!

Offhand I would guess the Iridient version is on the right but maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Iridient is on the left, Adobe DNG converter on the right. But they fail at the same places, which means that the RAW data in this image is just full of false color.

As posted earlier the purple halos are an optical abberation, so the red, green and blue pixels are actually false colors and the consequence of no low-pass/AA filter and high resolution lense, making the de-mosaicing process difficult. But these artifacts would be present with a Bayer array as well (think GFX 50s & 50r).

Also I was surprised to find no X-Trans "worms" with the Adobe converter. Which is a good thing.

I generally do not use Iridient when there are lots of specular highlights in an image. The JPG from the camera is as you have shown it: flawless in these situations.

It is also basically a colorized monochrome image if you look closely.
