Yes, auto wb.
The difference is that with LR or full versions of CR used with PSCS,
you can adjust an arbitrary number of similar photos with the same one
click.
I often color correct an entire shooot's photos by picking the right
point in one and applying that to all the ones shot under the same
light. Takes a half second.

I'm assuming you mean Auto white balance and not ISO, right?
In my version of iPhoto (one gen from the latest) the WB function is
one of its strongest features. You can choose an eyedropper function
to click a white or grey point. And you can also adjust temperature
and tint. Exactly like the demo version of Photoshop I've been playing
with.

The cameras' Auto ISO algorithms simply have a relatively limited

a half second in Lightroom to color correct white balance, so

cameras'
settings from Auto ISO.
If making the processing effort smaller by whatever increment is
important
to you, then I'm glad it's working well. However, I suspect it's
more that
iPhoto's adjustment tools are relatively primitive compared to ACR or
Lightroom that is really making the difference. iPhoto isn't
exactly a
paragon of image processing applications, although used sensibly it
can do a
pretty nice job. I've simply found it too awkward to obtain the
results I
want when I try it. That's one of the tradeoffs of using no-cost
software.

I know since it's captured in RAW the WB is not locked in, but it
still shows up in the RAW converter at the setting I shot it. I
could
change it if I liked. But I really prefer to spend as little time as
possible playing with my pictures in the computer.
Also the colors of the photos I shot with the custom WB are
"right" to
me. I did not have to adjust the color at all. I adjusted the
exposure
and contrast in iPhoto but that was it. The photos that I did not
set
my WB required a lot of tweaking and I still don't like the way they
look.
