So I've read about DR not yet supporting GPR file imports (unless something has happened, and I haven't updated my DR in a few months), but my issue goes a bit deeper. I'm working on a 4K project and yes, all my media is 4K. I converted a bunch of batch-edited files from GPR to jpg in darktable, and the files themselves look to be pretty good if I take a look at them versus the original GPR files (and they're actually larger than the GPR files as well, surprisingly).
I get onto DR and import these jpg files into a new 4K project, and the detail of all of these files is extremely diminished. I'm not even sure of where to start to try and fix these if I wanted to get them to play nicely with DR. From what I can see, it's retained most of the blacks and whites in the images, and the detail in the mid-range is almost non-existant. These are the same jpgs that have the identical detail as the GPR files outside of DR in any other jpg viewer.
I tried creating a new project just to see if something was a bit screwy with the last one, but the diminished quality is still there. I have over 1200 of these jpgs which I want to include, but no real idea of how to get this quality back.
