Malcolm The fact that you can choose As Shot (for some cameras) in the Camera Raw plug-in leads me to believe the white balance settings are embedded in the Raw file. So, setting the correct white balance before you shoot must help to get you into the ballpark when you process your Raw file. Basically, all you are doing when you process your Raw file is what the camera would have done had you shot in JPEG or TIFF mode: taken the raw data and the camera settings to convert the data to JPEG or TIFF and save it to your storage device.
