So then do you use some sort of raw file converter that will not allow you
to make changes?
The big hype when RAW first came out was that it was the greatest, and in
the digital world I think it is the greatest thing we have so far, but there
are things that are just not possible and correct a grossly out of white
balance photo is one of them, now before any one jumps on me I know the raw
file exists as a B&W image and every thing is applied to it in conversion
but the conversion is all based on information that is stored with the image
if that information is far enough out of balance the computer and program
has no idea what the mistake was/is, this is where the problem is.

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.
You can only convert RAW files and they don't require a white balance, as
I understand it.
