I was excited to see in the release notes for version 1.1.2 that the white 
balance presets for the Canon EOS 550D would be updated.  I liked the existing 
presets, and was interested to see what might be added.  However, now all I see 
are the three basic settings:  camera whitebalance, spot whitebalance and 
passthrough.  All of the other presets, like Daylight, Cloudy, Shade and so on 
have disappeared.  I also cannot figure out how to make use of the slider 
labelled 'finetune'.  I cannot make it move at all.

My camera is actually Canon EOS T2i, which I always thought was identical to 
EOS 550D.  

After downloading the most recent git version, so I could check for any 
updates, I found no changes.   I am not a C programmer.  However, I decided to 
have a look in the code to see what looked amiss.  I found the settings in 
wb_presets.c, then found that the caller uses EXIF information to select the 
correct settings.  On a hunch, I had a look at my EXIF info and saw "EOS REBEL 
T2i" as the model, but in wb_presets.c the values were "EOS Rebel T2i".  I 
changed 'Rebel' to 'REBEL' and rebuilt the code, and now I see the presets.

Thank you for all your hard work in this wonderful project, and the opportunity 
for me to feel like I might be able to make a contribution, however small.  I 
read the style guide and saw that if I followed procedure I should make a fork, 
but this is beyond my ability.  Please excuse me suggesting this change in this 
forum.
