Don't need to drag this out, and not many may care anyway.
Version A is the JPG out of camera. Image was shot with Provia/Standard setting, nothing else. Once loaded in to LR (with no import changes applied). Once in LR, basic section auto button was clicked.
Version B is the actual RAW from the same image as above. Shot RAW/JPG, so above is the JPG, this was the RAW. Once loaded in to LR (with no import changes applied). Once in LR, basic section auto button was clicked.
Not a whole lot of difference between A and B, but enough for some to notice.
Version C is actually a linear profile for Fuji X-T5 cameras. It was downloaded from:
https://goodlight.us/linear-profiles.html#profiles
Acocrding to the site, if the profile used by the program is linear, the displayed image is typically less vibrant, but (and this is important) it also better represents the actual data in the RAW file.
The main drawback of the linear profile is that, at least initially, the image looks worse onscreen. It's darker, has less saturated colors, and less contrast. In fact, it appears to be a somewhat poor starting point for making adjustments in Lr/CR compared to using one of the Adobe Raw profiles. However, there are a couple of strategies for working with linear profiles that usually help produce better results than could be obtained with from one of the curved profiles.
One method they state to continue after applying the linear profile is to use the Auto button. So, that is what I did, and all that I did. Seems, this needed more work, and no idea why the flower is "more purple".
Version D is a profile from Color Precision. They have a set for Fuji films, and also Kodak films, for almost all the camera brands (No Oly/OM). This one is for Fuji Pro 400H film, allegedly, and Auto then applied.
So, no real goal or decision here. It was just me playing to see what the difference was between some profiles that supposedly help. And Auto applied in LR to have it help.
So, if someone wants simple good images, perhaps JPG is the way to go. Or JPG with Auto is, since most here said it looked the best, on this image anyway.
Why did I use Auto? For anyone who asked, I didn't have to, but if you get a linear profile, and apply to the RAW file, you WILL need to do something, because the image IS really "BAD". Auto was miraculous, but for this, a big color shift for some reason.
