The scenario I'm talking about is not synthesising a RAW file from scratch, but being able to freely edit it and save the result back into a RAW file that looks "original". I don't think you've made any statements that indicate that doing that would be complex.

Again, this is not about faking a RAW file from scratch, just being able to edit it in place.

One potential complication just occurred to me. If, (IFF!) each sensor site has a somewhat unique non-linearity in any way, you can't just go around in the image and change "pixels". You have to adjust them in a way that would not change the patterns normal to that camera for that sensor site and for neighboring sensor sites which could have been affected by the same light.

Oh, that I have too little insight in. I could speculate that going either way. Would be very interesting to know for sure!
