I really must thank you all for all the suggestions I'm receiving!
I start taking pictures since 2010 and I'm pretty confident in postprocessing
When I export teh image from lightroom to my pc and then I upload it on this forum, the posterization disapperas!
I know it is a picture well executed but what I see on lightroom is different form underexposed areas or lacking in details, I really see some sort of posterization or grey halos...
I can now only assume it could be a matter of lightroom settings, I'll try to understand what is the cause.
It's very strange indeed because if I open the image with PAINT for example, the issue is no more visible, and I really can't get it....

Originally posted by BigMackCam If you have a means of providing a raw file (maybe via Google drive or similar), I'd be happy to take a look at it - if that would help. I use Darktable, RawTherapee and Lightroom 6, amongst other tools. Without looking at the raw file in one of those, it's difficult to say if your file is good or bad, since it really depends on default profiles and user adjustments.
I will say that, without some form of adjustments (often applied by default by software), all raw files look terrible compared to JPEG... and from what I've seen, the GRIII's raw files look considerably better than those from my Pentax K-3, from which I obtain superb results...
It would be great if you could! Just to understand if you can see the same issues I see on my PC...

Originally posted by stevebrot What version of Lightroom are you using?
When Lightroom has supported recent Ricoh/Pentax cameras, profiles similar to the in-camera custom image settings are included by Adobe along with the camera-specific Adobe Standard profile. Those are usually shown along with Adobe Standard in the profiles section of the Develop module and are presumed to have been developed in cooperation with Ricoh/Pentax.
If your copy of Lightroom does not support the GR III, Lightroom will use the profile embedded in the DNG file. Usually, the embedded profile is adequate.
Edit: I managed to pull additional information from the EXIF. Your GR III camera is supported and the file was processed from DNG using the Adobe Standard profile.

I currently use the recently cloud version that has just been updated
