Thanks!

You say:

What do you mean you want to do here? Are you suggesting shooting tethered or do you mean something else?

Custom White Balance has nothing to do with the post processing software. When the photo is loaded into the software, it will have whatever white balance you've set from the camera (if its RAW, then you have all the data, so you can choose the White Balance you like after the fact in the software). Now CWB will make it easier to do color balancing in the software and so its a valuable in camera tool (especially if you shoot JPG). But you may be meaning something else, so let us know.
