Images captured with the Ricoh GR IV using an Image Control (custom photo style) are saved to their DNG effectively and viewable/editable in other photo apps (Affinity Photo, Adobe Camera Raw, etc). But when these DNGs are opened in Capture One, they are flat and drab. I would usually chalk this up to it being a RAW file, but the fact that the RAW shows up in other photo apps as captured with the tweaks baked in makes me think it's a lack of support on the Capture One side. I'm guessing this is because there is no ICC profile, lens profile, or other support for the GR IV in Capture One like there is for the GR II, GR III, and GR IIIx but I'm no expert.
All I know is that I can see the Ricoh's photo style baked into the DNG when viewing in Finder and other RAW-supported apps, but not within Capture One. It seems that if Capture One had full support of the data within the DNG, this discrepancy wouldn't be present (and allow for more accurate editing of the photo).
