Hmm. OK then. If that's the only response you have when I take the trouble to explain things in detail, I suppose I shouldn't have bothered.

Wry smile, because using any free image viewer that can extract the embedded jpeg in the RAW file, means that you can post a file straight out of the camera, obviously subject to what ever settings you have as a Picture style. DPP uses these settings as a basis

Also I imagine ALL RAW processors have a minimum setting that does almost nothing at all, as well as export the jpeg. No one is really confident or brave enough to post basic RAW images, so they make all sorts of excuses for not doing so. It is pretty much like going to see your favourite band live on stage and finding out that they cannot play and their records are studio trickery.

Most images posted nowadays are trickery, I'm sorry to say.

I probably shouldn’t even bother but I am a little curious what you mean by “trickery.”  It’s a bi like saying the prints of Ansel Adams were just trickery because he was skilled at using the darkroom to present his images the best way he could.  What I’m most interested in see are finished products not half-baked works in progress.  Any straight out of the camera jpeg has absolutely seen processing and in my opinion not a final product.  Would you judge a beer based on what it tastes like before fermentation?
