Poor Raw Quality
I have recently noticed an issue with raw file quality in On1 Photo Raw. Attached are screenshots taken of one of my images opened in On1 and a competing raw processor.
On1 versions are labeled with A. The top row is with all adjustments removed and the bottom is with simple exposure adjustments.
This image was shot with a Fujifilm X-T2 and the screenshots were taken on an iMac and On1 Photo Raw 2019.6. Here's link to the 100% version of the same image https://flic.kr/p/2hGFWtF
As well as the obvious problem with the trees on the ridge, the details in the hills have been lost. I was a bit shocked when I open the image in the other application.
This is the most extreme case I have seen but now that I’m aware of it I have started seeing these issues in all my images.
Is there something I can do to fix this or is On1 not suited to Fujifilm files?

Since you already have examples, I would suggest that you submit a support request to On1 here...

Hi,
I experimented some same issues with Olympus ORF files on both ON1 2019 and 2020.
The RAW out of the box is undoubtably less clean than the same picture open in any of the RAW converter I have.
Less micro contrast and, more important, much less details in the highlights with no recovering possible. The contrastry parts of the image are easily washed out.

I noticed a similar difference in NEF raw files and I was only comparing it to a free Nikon Capture NX-D conversion. I also opened a ticket and I did finally get a response that said they agree and put it on the queue for fixing. My test showed that this problem was also in 2019.6 as well as the most recent build of 2020. It was noticeable enough that I now use NX-D to convert the raw file into a TIFF and then open the TIFF in ON1.

I still use Adobe for my LeicaQ2 as side by side comparisons confirm Adobe much better than ON1 for the Leica. ON1 does fine with my Olympus E-M1MKII

Funny Jack, with my E-M1 M2 ORF files Lightroom, Luminar and (above all) Capture one have much much better RAW engines than ON1...
To a certain extend it's probably a matter of taste, but objectively my pictures opened in ON1 are more flat, have less micro details and above all the highlights are brutal (this zone between HLs and white). Highlights and contrast sliders are weak and rather inefficient.
What I can sometimes appreciate with ON1 is its ability to develop and transform the picture in specific ways, in B&W in particular, but certainly not the "out of the box" RAW developpment.0
