by altering the ISO setting? I dont think so, not and get a good print.
It's important to separate what happens before the sensor records the
image and after the sensor records the image. The amount of light
hitting the sensor is controlled before the image is taken, by ISO,
aperture, and shutter speed. Everything else, including white
balance and contrast/sharpness/hue settings happen
afterwards. Anything that is changed afterwards is completely
controllable regardless of the settings in the camera (for a RAW
image), which is why you are wrong about the WB. However, there is
generally more exposure latitude with a RAW image than a camera-produced jpg.
