You're right. I just didn't want to complicate the issue which is, after all, about sensitivity and whether or not we can artificial recreate a Filter (be it Colour, ND or Grad) in camera. I contend that it's within the scope of the Bayer Demosaicing (yes, it's spelled correctly) Algorithm. However, the two remaining questions are; is this possible within the constraints of the processing power on board and can it be done without introducing moire artifacts?

I have to confess ignorance on these two questions, maybe someone else ...?
