I guess what I am trying to explain is that lets say you take two pictures
exactly the same except you use different white balances' when you create
them you will not necessarily get the same result using the raw file
converter to "Fix" the white balance weather you have a properly exposed
file or not.

Well not completely, I know they say that you can pick and choose your
white
balance in processing but this is not exactly accurate, if you do not have
a
good working image to start with you cannot apply a white balance to the
photo and get an accurate end result. IF that makes sense
Not sure what you mean, but if your exposure is off, you can't do much
about making a good image. However, when you shoot raw, you can tweak
the heck out of the white balance in processing. Without breaking up
the histogram of course. I like the ability to put the dropper on a
neutral object and setting my white balance to that.
BTW, Capture One LE recently put out an upgrade that makes the program
even better. Free download for buyers. Damn, I love that program so
much, couldn't do without it!
