[Digikam-users] Another question about RAW processing

Hello everyone!
Till now I shot a really small number of photos in RAW (I was mostly happy with my jpg images), so please understand that I have a very little experience with RAW...

OK, let's go to my question: I've shot quite a number of astronomical images with a friend, using his Canon 50D, different lenses and some of my telescopes. He said "RAW is better", I agreed, and now I have a lot of images needing editing, and mostly need to fine tune white balance (technically, we need to look for a G2 star in the shot and use it to set our white point).

I think digikam is very convenient when I need to organize and edit a lot of shots and I'd prefer to use it to work on them instead of using something else, like ufraw, but I found that I can't tweak RAW conversion parameters on a per-image basis, but only globally, from the main configuration window. 

It seemed very strange to me, so I ask you: is there a way to change that parameters individually for each image? 

Since we used different ISO speeds, obviously we'd like to change the noise reduction parameter for each image, and also to change chromatic aberration correction for each lens used. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
gerlos
