No progress in discovering that. Tried manual sliders for gamma/exposure/brightness/contrast in gimp, auto-level and auto-gamma adjusters in ImageMagick. For mid to high exposures the quality is matching that of the vendor application. For low expsoure the vendor app does much better. Something coarse seems to be missing. Something like when I was assuming 16 bit image it was coming darker and after Aaron pointed out it was 12 bit, the inversion was corrected and it started coming better. Something as coarse as that seems missing. But a counter argument to that is why only for low exposure images.
