With most RAW converters if you process in the auto modes, cloudy or shadows mode will go yellow on you

is this normal? or do i have to tweak my white balance in camera? (its on auto).

With the K20 and PPL conversion, I've not had to do any adjustments in cam. I shoot mostly in AWB, Av, or Manual, RAW + JPG****. Most of the time the K20 gets it right and I only need to convert the RAW about 10% of the time

also is there any good online guides to setting white balance up (sorry still new to this!)

Don't know about that but I calibrate my LCD once a month with a spyder and print with an Epson 1400 with out having to waste to many 4"x6" proofs before printing a 13"x19" photo.

Thanks

Steve
