The reason why I developed this understanding was because many event shooters said that if you had time, it's best to tune the right WB so that you can save yourself a bit of time in post processing because the file already got the correct WB.

This is exactly how it works. Hoever, in case of RAW for N900/N950/N9, I have never seen such data saved anywhere

, no matter if I used fcam or cssu's camera-ui (N900), or any other program.

It's kind of a pity, as I've never, *never* been able to reproduce equally good white balance results in RAW, as they're automatically done in jpg's (when, in N900, I've set camera-ui2 to save both RAW and jpg of same scene). RAW got advantage in many areas due to being not "baked" already, but Nokia's closed source picture optimization algorithms (tuned for certain camera module/lens characteristics), that is very hard to reproduce in RAW "bakers".

Hoever, if someone would be able to prepare pretty accurate "templates" for N900's, N9, and N950's cameras (that mimics different, pre-configured white balance settings), for ufRAW, it would be nice to share them

BTW, I suggest trying ufRAW, instead of embarrassingly closed, corporate, adobe's lightroom
