1. An automated RAW image processing method implementable by a processing device, the method comprising: receiving a representation of a target RAW image and metadata, the target RAW image having photo-site pixels each indicative of a single color value, the metadata indicative of an imaging device or a capture condition associated with the target RAW image; obtaining, based on the metadata, predetermined information for RAW image processing, the predetermined information being derived from processing at least one subject RAW image obtained with the imaging device or the capture condition; demosaicing the target RAW image to produce a resulting image defined in a color space, wherein the demosaicing comprises automatically pre-processing the target RAW image based on the predetermined information using an operating system service of the processing device; and making the resulting image available to an application program executable on the processing device.
