Picture Styles for all Canon RAW files? // Feature request

[Michael Engelen]

Chris,

I learned that the 1DMk2N is supported by BBPro 1.3 and that you included the Pictuzre Style feature for thius model and the 5D. Cool! BUT, why can't all Canon RAW-shooters have that feature just like it is implemented in Canon's DPP 2.x?
Do you plan to make it accessible to all Canon RAW conversions? If so, when?
I think this is the best and only approach to get the colours correct (or at least alike) even when you shoot with different models camera (like 1DMkII and 20D and 300D).

Greetings,
Michael

Unfortunately this isn't possible because the Canon SDK doesn't support it. Canon have split their raw conversion software into two separate paths - the raw conversion task which uses the SDK and is part of ZoomBrowser and DPP which uses completely different libraries which are not available to third party developers. DPP supports picture styles for other cameras but the raw conversion task doesn't (because the SDK doesn't support it).
