The first approach of digiKam is to be simple.

This is the goal of LightZone. You click on RAW file and all is done
automatically. RAW handling is the same than JPEG.

In fact, the world photography must be done like this. A Lots of photograph
don't care, don't know, don't want to understand what's RAW files, but know
that RAW is better than JPEG from color depth viewpoints.

Users only know advantages, not disadvantage.

So, the default option is to open and let's digiKam/Libkdcraw/libraw handle raw
 as well, without to ask any questions about demosaicing.

This is not my case of course, and for pro users sure... I only edit RAW files
with in-deep settings adjustments.

Of course, auto-gamma/WB with raw must be improved. This is the job of libraw,
not to digiKam libkdcraw. This is why, i update frequently libraw source code
in libkdcraw...

The current way of RAW in photography is really a shame. I hope in the future
that JPEG-XR will change that. Yes, i know it's M$ stuff, but all is ready to
be included in camera firmware.

After that, there is no reason to support RAW format in camera anymore.
