I'm not interested in that.
I work on an artistic level, and don't want anybody, Canon engineers or
whoever, to dictate the rendering of my pictures.
When I do watercolor, there is nobody to tell me which kind of blue or red,
or how much/little water I should use; the same goes for photography: I
want to be in complete control, and start to work from a RAW as little
processed (= as much dull, yes!) as possible.
And in order to make work easier, especially when I have a lot of pictures
to work upon, I would like to be able to define my own presets instead of
those provided and that I cannot modify:
- crop/rotating: the preset is crop when rotate, and cannot be changed (or
I haven't found how to do it); but the ratio is always the previous used,
and this seems nonsense for me: if I decide to make a picture square, there
is no reason the next one will be a square too! In more than 90% of cases,
I stick to the image ratio, and I never, never want to crop when rotating.
Composition is an essential aspect of the picture, and I'll never rely on
an automatic process to do that for me.
- vignetting: I use it very lightly on some pictures, when I want to
direct the eye inside the picture. That means that the vignetting effect
should be imperceptible, and the preset is much too harsh for that. 100% of
times I use it, I need to modify the gradient/lightness/saturation.
- and the same goes for most tools I use regularly: presets are forced
upon the user as starting points; why don't allow him/her to define his
owns?
