I just want to see what everyone is using.

Most of the time I leave it on auto although I'm playing around now with daylight settings for all except indoor photography. Having said that it really doesn't matter as I can change the settings in DPP later.

best to just shoot RAW, you can then adjust it in relation to surroundings/content & ambient lighting.

The correct WB isn't always the "right" WB. Shoot RAW. ;)

I need to start shooting in RAW more. What program do most use for making adjustments?

Shoot a gray card and use that image for your Custom WB. I prefer to shoot the image with the proper WB and not rely and doing it with RAW processing.

RSP, but you can't get it anymore. Free RSE did a pretty good job & you can still get it.

I forgot I had DPP installed, I just never gave it a shot. I was messing with it for a few minutes earlier, I'm already a fan of RAW.

I shoot in RAW and have used both DPP and Raw Shooter. I may switch to Capture 1, though, as I hear it's excellent.
