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).

Of course.

There are 2 way : Let's digiKam apply same demosaicing parameters +
auto post processing adjustments. This is the default option,
dedicated for beginneer.

For advanced users, just go to Editor Settings page, and set on " Use
RAW Import tool..." option. Now open RAW file in editor and enjoy.

Note : Work only with 0.9.5 or 0.10.x

Use Raw Import tool...
