Fujifilm JPEG vs RAW (k.fe.derate.me)

Recently I started shooting RAW+JPEG because sometimes I don't want to post-proces my images and just straight use them. However, when comparing both I find no difference in colors or other adjustments. The SOOC JPEG with Velvia Film Simulation has the same colors, saturation, etc. as the unedited RAW file. What am I doing wrong?

There is no such thing as an unedited RAW file displayed on a screen. Editor/viewer software will do one of three things to render a RAW to the screen:

  1. It may have a very close approximation of the camera's own jpeg profiles. Capture One does have this for Fuji.
  2. It may use an embedded jpeg preview from the RAW file. You'll notice this if you zoom in or edit.
  3. It may apply its own default processing. This will look different from the camera's jpeg.
