my FUjifilm camera ( H2S ) is capable of taking pictures in HDR mode.
Available options are Hdr200 , 400 , 800 , and Hdr800+
As far as I remember, when this feature was introduced somebody tested it, and this is what happens : the camera takes 3 shots, but produces 1 RAF file, and 1 Jpg.
The RAF file actually contrains 3 images, and only the Jpg file is the final result “blended” .
At that time no Raw processor was able to read and process all the 3 images included in the Raf file . I wonder if DXO has ever taken into account this FUji feature !
I doubt it very much, but you can test it.

I think about the most adventurous DxO got was supporting Canon C.RAW. (From what I understand, not dissimilar to the Compressed DNG files recently added.)
They have never supported Pentax pixelshift either. Not that I use it a lot, but it would be a nice option.
Today I tested it .
WIth my great surprise the Raf file and the Jpg file are identical
Only slightly decentered.
The curves are the same , the highlights are preserved and the shadows perfectly visibles ( not dark) .
It looks like Photolab9 is decoding HDR pictures correctly !
I extracted the exif informations from the Raf file, using Exiftools
Here are the relevant lines :
File Size : 81 MB
Software : Digital Camera X-H2S Ver7.30
Dynamic Range Setting : Manual
Development Dynamic Range : 800
Composite Image Mode : HDR
Composite Image Count 1 : 3
Composite Image Count 2 : 3
———-
the Raf file size is compatible with 3 pictures inside a single Raf (lossless compressed)
But apparently Dxo takes care of it , and the resulting picture is visually the same as the Jpg one. The jpg one is known to be a composite blended image from the 3 original shots. I’m very surprised the Raf file appears to be the same ! Well done DXO !!!
