Hello, I was recommended here from Reddit about an issue that I’m having with processing RAW’s through Darktable. I’ve done a ton of digging to try and figure out why my RAW is tinted pink/red when I take it into the darkroom and just couldn’t find anything for it. The JPEG preview is showing perfectly fine and when I open the RAW using the Windows photo app the preview there is just fine too.
Please help, I’m dying inside trying to figure this out as I’m fairly new to processing and this is just woah… I’m using Darktable 5.0.1 on Windows 11, the photos were taken with a Fujifilm s100fs.
The RAW’s are linked to this post
Three RAW’s
You’ve neglected to tell us the darktable version, the OS, where you got dartable, etc etc. I’ve opened these on a newer master version of DT and I don’t see these issues.
You’re right I completely forgot to do so, thank you for mentioning that I’ve updated the post. I downloaded Darktable from the website.

Welcome John, your camera whitebalence was set to daylight. Was it indeed daylight you used when taking the picture?

Pretty sure it shows the embedded preview and not a raw render.
Just tried it here with DT 5.0.1 and get the same result. There have been some issues lately with RawSpeed having the wrong CFA pattern for Fujifilm cameras. I suspect this is the same issue, since that was fixed recently and @paperdigits doesn’t see it with the dev version.

I had borrowed a studio light from a friend that was set to daylight and shot the pictures at midnight so definitely should have been.

This sounds like a good direction to follow, I’ll dig down this hole and see where it leads. Thank you everyone for the help you’re providing 
This seems like it’s absolutely the fix, now I need to figure out how to go about doing it…
Looking at your images it may be that the ‘daylight’ studio lights are not true daylight. Maybe photographing a grey card or a sheet of white paper might help you obtain a good white balance for your studio shoot. That is what I would do if using any studio light setup.
Lucky for you, dt 5.2 including the fix should be coming out imminently.
