My only wish for the RAW plugin is a click balance feature. I have this with my Kodak and the Photodesk software. Its very handy to click a test shot of a grey card to fully neutralize lighting then add the warmth I want..

Also you can do wacky things with it. Here is an example of skewing the color balance to a color palette by click balancing on a yellow square.

Ian, I don't know what the Photodesk interface is like but I think I can do what you discribed in PSCS Camera Raw. Click the gray card with the eyedropper then slide the (tone) slider all around. I'm not sure how extreme you can go with this but you should be able to go as far off as your example. I don't have any raw files on this machine to try so I'm only guessing but I will try later.

I played a little. It's the Tint slider (not tone). I don't think there is as much finesse as in photodesk. I think I went a little too far. I didn't have you image visable for reference.
