I don't know if it's relevant but ...

When I view an unprocessed RAW film roll in my file browser it is different from
the colours/saturation etc I see when I open with DT.  If I simply export to JPG
and again view, side by side, in my file browser or Firefox doing a file viewer
even Gwenview, then what I see is, again different.

Upon investigation I found that what was actually being displayed for the RAW
was embedded JPG.  I gather that this is the screen image I saw on the 3"
display on the back of my DSLR.

If I use one of the exif tools to remove the embedded image and thumbnail from
the RAW not only is the RAW file a lot smaller but my file mode browser can no
longer display an image for the RAW.

Other tools that CAN import the RAW can render it.

Do remember, however, that the RAW captures what the lens projects onto the
pixels and is unprocessed; no adjustments of any kind.  What you see in the
viewfinder and what that embedded JPG shows is what your camera settings are set
up for.

That a un-adjusted DT export to JPG of the RAW is different from the embedded
JPG does not surprise me at all.
