This is really "out in left field" ... but based on what I've seen ML being able to do with Canon firmware, the mind boggles at what a similarly talented and passionate group of Canon gurus could accomplish with DPP (Digital Photography Professional).  Perhaps incorporate some or many capabilities of GIMP (which I haven't used)? With all kinds of info from .CR2 files for extra capability beyond ACR / LR?

FWIW: Adobe is in the process of radically changing their business model from s/w purchase to Creative Cloud subscription. There are a Lot.Of.Disgruntled.Adobe.Users.   Perhaps there is a "window of opportunity" for enhancements to DPP? My impression is that Nikon users can use a free version of CaptureNX, and I believe there is a much more capable version for sale ... NX2? NX3?

Or not?

There is a commercial product tweaking DPP:

Ciao, Walter (disgruntled user but not fond of DPP either)

DPP isn't anything close to photoshop. Pretty much shovelware to me.
