@whim, thanks for your kindness in offering to help. I
wish I had the time, that's my main problem, time.
@reyalp, I will have to make the time to get to know
Exiftool. So far my tools are dcraw and irfanview (for
cropping, sharpen and color). Like chdk, they do their
job well.
BTW, I just tested a590-101b-0.9.8-825-full.zip today.
Nothing there for the A590IS, but no problems with it
either, nice.
Yes, whim, I should be doing more C/C++ programming
and less testing and picture taking
Talking about C, I see some references to
cam_BaselineNoise and cam_BaselineSharpness in
trunk/core/dng.c to be used in struct dir_entry IFD0[].
Is it just info to fill the dng's header or is noise/sharpness being adjusted there?
