Great, thanks for confirming my thoughts upon the easiest workflow method!
I think Morgan stated, “some steps involved in processing a raw file which take place before the white balance the user set in the program takes effect can perform better on correctly white-balanced data [1]” was one of my area of concerns/questions.
In other words, during digital cameras minimal processing with rasterizing RAW images/exposures, better more favorable results are seen with a good preset white balance.
Ditto with Mr. Butcher’s workflow as well.
