Arnd,

Yes, of course, but this will not be a simple task to convince him to have a new option to adjust automatically gamma in 16 bits mode like in 8bits. Look into dcraw web project page :

http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/

"Why is 16-bit output dark / unreadable? 
If you want pretty pictures straight out of dcraw, stay with 8-bit output. 16-bit linear output is the best raw material for professional image editors such as  Photoshop and CinePaint, but it's no good for most image viewers."

I have not yet talking with him about this subject, but why not to start a new thread about... If you want to do it, let's go, this is the email to use : dcoffin cybercom net  Just CC me and guillaume, we will to follow and add comments in the thread...
