[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 476093, member: 12496"] I didn't say that. And I use ACR a lot, for a long time. I said there is certainly no WB in the raw file data, but the Adobe raw default (which can be changed) is to try to obtain As Shot WB, where it tries to decipher camera WB (which is not in raw) from the Exif (where it is, even if it is not in raw data), which it applies to the RGB image we see in ACR. And my belief is that it has difficulty deciphering that just right. Not grossly wrong, but just not right. At least not to my satisfaction. Which I do not blame on Adobe. Other camera settings (Picture Control color, contrast, etc) are not in raw either, and Adobe does not try to match them, but Adobe does have its defaults for them (which can be changed). One raw difference is we make such settings later after we see the image, instead of hopeful wishing long before we even see the scene. So camera WB is totally unimportant to me anyway, it's easier to work with it in Raw, after we can actually see what's needed, and see what helps, and try different things, etc. Its easier and better.
