I'm getting also very dark photos with applying NN.

The whole histogram shifts to the left.

Is this normal?

No. Please share all relevant parameters (Operating system, Capture One version, camera used, etc)

I have Windows 10 (version 22H2), Capture One Pro 23 (16.0.0.143).
My cameras are X100V, X-T30 and X-Pro3.

I originally took Nostalgic Negative files (10 files) as per instructions as GFX100S files. But somehow X-Pro3's RAF files became very dark. This failed already about a year ago first time. Now I gave it another shot after installation of Capture One Pro 23.

Now I took NN files from X-T5 and used those instead. Made all the files for all the cameras (X100V, X-T30 and X-Pro3) ...(So, I replaced the previous X-Pro3 files too).

And now it worked for all cameras. I guess it was just a "hick-up" of some kind... I guess from Capture One's side..(?)
Couldn't find any spelling errors with file names and while copying new files on the previous ones, Windows asked if I want to replace 10 files, so naming was identical. And actually file sizes were exact match according to Windows.

Well, I guess I'll never get to know what was it.. I doubt that it would have a difference between GFX100S NN and X-T5 NN files...but...who knows...

I browsed through my files and atleast X-Pro3 from version 1.22 to 1.32 worked now in my Capture One.

Histogram stayd put and actually I got a feeling that shadows opened up a bit (atleast in some cases) so totally different experience this time.

Could those dark files have been shot at DR200/400 and weren’t, for whatever reason, automatically corrected for brightness by C1?
