Dear Sir:

Possibly, this answers your question:

Controlling which White Balance will be Used when Opening a File 

When opening the next file the White Balance is set in accordance to the settings in Preferences– Image Display – White Balance: 

  • White Balance for next file (same camera) – sets the white balance mode when opening a file coming from the same camera model as the current file is. Choices here are: Same as previous, As Shot, Daylight, Auto, Tungsten, and Camera Auto/As Shot. Last one is for the cases when As Shot WB was set manually and means ‘use Auto WB recorded by the camera, fallback to As Shot if no camera recorded Auto WB is found. This is very useful with UniWB, or forgetting to switch WB to a setting appropriate for the lighting conditions. 
  • White Balance for next file (another camera) – sets the white balance mode when opening a file coming from a different camera model. The choice of “Same as previous” normally does not fit here – all other choices are the same as for the previous. 
  • Keep Custom WB for next file (same camera) – instructs FastRawViewer if the current white balance coefficients should be applied to the next file coming from the same camera model.

  • White Balance for next file (same camera) – sets the white balance mode when opening a file coming from the same camera model as the current file. Choices here are: o Same as previous – keep the current white balance choice. 
  • o Camera Auto/As Shot – if the camera records the metered white balance (which may differ from that which is used during the shoot), then that balance is used. Otherwise, it will be As Shot. 
  •  
  • o All others – the respective white balance mode will be in effect.
