No. Difference between digiKam and other RAW applications as far as I 
understand (and was able to observe while working) is that digiKam process 
with minimum changes from itself. Other programs usually apply some default 
curves, sharpening, etc. depending on: common sense, smart algorithms trying 
to "understand" image, maintaining extensive databases on what should be done 
to photo depending on camera model, firmware, lens.

Frugal handling of RAW data by digiKam can be seen as bug or feature depending 
on your attitude.

Myself I think this is good - less magic wand is better. BUT: because it means 
more work for photographer digiKam should provide tools to speed up workflow 
later when making those corrections by hand. And this element is in 
development.

I hope this will be possible with Batch Queue Manager.
