Hi Anders, Thank you for your answer.
Well...first of all, we haven't got any code to read meta from .orf files > yet - so we cannot read the values for camera whitebalance yet. We will take > a look at this as in the near future. Just to get to know the current situation, I'd like to ask is this the case with just few cameras (for example Olympus), or is this the case with the vast majority of cameras? There is an option -w in dcraw that you can use to set camera white balance (if possible). Doesn't this help at all? And one more question: does Rawstudio extract meta data by using dcraw or ExifTool by Phil Harvey (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) or by some other means? One thought. Would it be a good or silly idea to add yet another "camera white balance" setting that would use reverse engineering? I mean, all raw-files have embedded thumbnails. We could have a piece of code that analyzes the thumbnail's color properties (i.e. darkest and lightest point for R, G and B) and then sets same values for the raw-photo. In other words, the resulting histogram of the raw-photo would roughly be equal to the thumbnail. This way, we would have at least some kind of camera white balance for all cameras without need to write specific code for each camera model and make. Or would this mean more work than tailoring the code for all cameras? Olli H.
