I've never had to write such software but in my imagination there is the sensor data, potentially from several exposures, and some static data about the camera, and a list of edits and parameters that the photo app is using to produce the in-camera JPEG. And I just want a way to intervene in that list of edits and parameters to produce my own result. There must be SOME way to do this otherwise how do I edit raws from my real camera? The starting point for camera raw in my photo editor always looks great if the file came from my camera, and always looks ghastly if it came from my mobile.
