1. An automated RAW image processing method implementable by a processing device, the method comprising: interpolating an interpolated image from a RAW image, the interpolated image being in a first color space; obtaining a plurality of characterization matrices associated with information about a camera used to capture the RAW image, each of the characteristic matrices associated with a different illuminant; interpolating a conversion matrix from the characterization matrices and a white balance of the RAW image; converting the interpolated image with the conversion matrix into a second color space; producing a resulting image in a rendered color space from the converted image; and making the resulting image available to an application program.
