I use MC to bring in images from my digital camera and rotate them. I still need other software to do colour correction and cropping though and these mean the JPEGs need to be recompressed. Could the next version of MC allow these factors to be set and stored in the images without recompressing? Then they could be applied at display time. The most useful things would be

Black/white levels (settable for all channels or individual channels)
Gamma (settable for all channels or individual channels)
Saturation
Cropping (free or fixed aspect ratio)

Newbies might want a brightness/contrast setting, but this could just be an interface to the black/white level values. This would make MC all most people needed for photo manipulation.

I agree.  I only use MC for viewing images.  I have to do all manipulation in IrfanView.

Jim or Matt,

I know you don't typically discuss the future of MC, but I'm wondering.  Once version 10 is released, do you think you guys will spend some time and energy on making MC more of a multimedia organizational program.  Will the image and video centers (also the Web Media) get some work to make them more complete?  They are 'integrated' into MC, but not really 'stand alone' quality yet.  In other words, you still need other programs to work with these media files.

Any ideas?
