Fuji RAW file previews in external editor

On my Fuji X camera, I've taken some photos where I have film simulations set up plus shadows, highlights etc etc - in camera.  But, I've only saved in RAW.

When I go into C1, I see the previews showing the image with the in camera adjustments - as if I saved in jpg.  I'm curious about when I go "Edit with -> Affinity Photo".  Is the TIFF that's exported, the RAW file plus the corrections that have come in from the camera?  I.e., it's as if I'd made corrections in C1 - just that C1 is reflecting the corrections made before it was imported?

(The alternative being that it exports the preview (rather than the RAW) as the TIFF.)

Thanks.

  Each raw file has a small jpg preview embedded in the file, which is mostly used by applications as a thumbnail to show "what's in" the raw file. The camera creates this preview taking the camera settings into account, same as if the camera would create a jpg file. The resolution of this jps is usualy way to small for anything else.

  C1 takes the raw and applies some defaults, look at the base characteristics too. Whatever you choose there is not from Fuji, but the closest C1 could get. If you "edit with" C1 creates a tiff as you see it in the C1 viewer component. If youi "open with", C1 sends the unchanged raw file to Affinity.

  Thanks for the help.

  So, C1 uses the embedded preview from the camera as a guide to apply it's own defaults?  I.e., it's not taking the in camera info as such, just using it to make it's best call?

  After reading your reply I did a couple of tests....  I took the same pic with the same film simulation but 1 with shadows / highlights pushed one way - then another with the shadows / highlights pushed in the reverse directions.  On the camera display, I could see they were different.  However, when I import to C1, it retains the film sim but ignores the other in camera adjustments.  (The base characteristics curve is set to auto which I believe just matches the film sim.)

  As you said, if I go "edit with", I get the C1 adjusted version.  If I go "open with" I just get the raw RAW, so to speak.
