Raw above, jpeg fine below. Slightly sharper & a tad more shadow detail in the RAW. Zoomed to 200%
Comparison of Raw versus JPEG Fine settings on a Nikon D70. Exposure was on a tripod at night indoor under our odd yellow lamp shade. Dark murky leaves are behind a dirty window.

jpeg had white balance auto and saturation high which might be interfering, I didn't think to change that.
