You can, easily, if you use the Pentax-supplied Digital Camera Utility … it's on the White Balance tab !!
Working with a JPG may not be as "perfect" as working from a RAW, but it certainly works well!
As the program "knows" what white balance adjustments the camera applied at exposure time, negating these settings is easy and applying alternative settings is almost as quick

I don't know … you'd need to read the instructions … there is a "[Process Multiple Files]" option on the menu … the program can do a lot of stuff I've never felt the need for

No joy....the multiple file processing is more about conversion, etc...you can't adjust multiple files for WB, color, etc....that i can see...

......WB carefully and it won't matter....

....this one is about 15 images...K3III 20-40mm at about 30mm....this is a manual focus series choosing various elements to be sure they are in focus...the tophat, for example....

Nice job on the photo and the biplane!

p.s. Is that the Sacajawea dollar coin?

Thank you...the plane was fun and shooting with the 20-40mm was easy, even up close.

Yes, that is Sacajawea....
