Oh dear -- get ready, here it comes. I bought my first Fuji X camera back in 2013 and switched to C1 at roughly the same time for all my raw processing. Yes, the features you're missing in C1 ...

Demosaicing for Fuji X-Trans is fair. It's not excellent and I've encountered problems with highlight reconstruction that alternative software processors handle effortlessly. So I open a raw file ...

PDR graph: You lose the ability to record dynamic range as you raise the ISO. A scene with very high DR can exceed your camera's max capacity of 10.4 stops at ISO 160. Raise ISO and that gap gets ...

You're looking at images in ACR with white balance coefficients applied. If you examine the raw data without those WB coefficients you'll find the green channel clips first nearly every time. If ...

You're thinking about the channels in a raw file. I tried to get that clarified by the OP and I'm still not 100% certain but it seems the OP was originally asking about the green channel in the ...

Yes, all three channels have begun to clip. The green channel is clipped the least -- just a hint, most likely some specular highlights on the leaves. And again for clarity, this is not reflective ...

OK -- so not the raw file. Neither the RGB histogram or the blinkies are responsive to raw file data. In the case of live-view blinkies in the EVF as well as the RGB histogram neither the raw file ...

By blinkies I assume you mean the highlight clipping warning that you see in the EVF before you take the photo. Is that correct? If so then what green channel are you referring to?

Flying Fijian is correct. It takes two channels clipped to activate the blinkies. So if only one channel is clipped they don't come on. NOTE: That's not channels in the raw file but rather channels ...

You won't lose any data to use the compressed files.

DXO DeepPRIME (arguably the very best) is only available for raw files.

In C1 go to Base Characteristics. The film sim is in the drop list labeled Curve. Select Linear response and you're on your own. You can save a base set of adjustments as a Style and apply it to ...

Because the raw histograms show what's going on under the hood. All JPEGs are made from raw files. But you do have a point -- displaying more JPEG results might help. But please don't make me ...

No. Look at the raw file histogram. No additional exposure is possible if the diffuse highlight is to be retained. The DR 100 JPEG is dark because of the scene DR. I just did it. Look at the raw ...

It's not hard to describe how the DR modes function: Fuji's DR modes function by manipulating the implementation of ISO lightening to add highlight protection in very high contrast light. One or ...

I'm having some second thoughts about this. I never shoot JPEGs so I admit to little practical experience. I just had a few things to check on out back and I grabbed my X-T2. I shot some JPEGs ...

That DR 400 JPEG looks pretty good. I can see that lots of folks would be happy with that and consider the DR mode did a good job. Agreed. It's just as unhelpful as your statement that elicited it: ...

Not "will" but rather "may," and that's on you and not a requirement of how the DR modes function. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66457325

No such requirement. Exposed to place diffuse highlight at sensor threshold (both of them). And here are the two JPEGs the camera created. The DR 400 JPEG looks pretty good. Both raw files of ...

I've never doubted that or said otherwise.
