Today I tested a few renders with "Force sizing to highest quality" & "Force debayer to highest quality" in Davinci 12.5, first thing I noticed was constant crashing when rendering. It can't seem to render anything with neat video with these options on.
So I decided I have to give that option up, but wanted to test the quality difference so I rendered out a few frames in ProRes 422LT with the option on and off - I noticed that the image was actually sharper and retained more added film grain without those options ticked... the colours were also more accurate. For Decode Quality I already have it as Full Res - Resolve, I'm not sure why "forcing debayer to highest quality" would downgrade the image... Render times get slower with those options ticked as well, so I assumed better quality.
Also uploaded frames from Inspire 1 RAW, and forcing high quality didn't seem to affect that one, only the R3D's. I didn't notice an improvement with forcing high quality though. Anyone tried using this option and had similar results?
Here are a few frames, please download the image to see in full res (NORMAL is without Force highest quality, FORCE MAX is with those options ticked)

My specs are:
RED Scarlet-W - 5K (6:5) ANA
Davinci Resolve 12.5 - 4K timeline & output (4096x1716 DCI Scope 2.39) - frames exported as ProRes 422LT same everything except "Force highest quality" on/off
