[gthumb-list] 2 items: canon cr3/craw support + an AI auto-contrast style edit suggester

Is anyone working on importing Canon's CR3 compressed raw format? It 
sounds like half the size of RAW with no discernible difference.

Format work:

I'm thinking of adding a machine learning feature to an image editor to 
learn one's editing style, make suggestions alongside the 'Automatic 
contrast adjustments', and also be usable for batch conversions. 
Starting with color editing global moves (rather than localized edits in 
the photo) that can be represented as a vector. It'd be nice to have 
that vector become a standard for passing to e.g. ImageMagick for the 
batch work (predictor module w/ API takes image and spits out vector, 
~100 lines of code plus trained weights). The training interface is 
where most of the work would be, and a batch trainer of ~100 lines would 
be the starting place.

Is anyone interested in helping make gthumb the editor, or in general? 
Just think of the fun of having it watch you edit (later: feeding all 
your before/afters to it) and having it read your mind and save you work.

Thanks,

Bill
