I shot a JPEG RAW pair on a Ricoh GRIIIx. The JPEG had the contrast turned all the way down in the in-camera development so that I would preserve as much dynamic range as possible. When editing both in Pixelmator Photo I am noticing a black area that has no perceivable information in the RAW, but the information is in the JPEG. I would think this is impossible. Is this a limitation of the Pixelmator Photo controls?
I tried to attach a screen recording of the behavior but attaching files doesn't seem to be working. Below are google drive links to a recording and the source photo.

Ricoh GRIIIx RAW has less dynamic range than the JPEG?

Hi. We are aware of this behavior and have plans to improve it.
In the meantime, you can use a negative value for the «Black Point» slider to reveal additional «darker than black» colors.
