v3.6 Custom White Balance problem for 10d and 20D
I have pretty well proven to my satisfaction that 3.6 doesn't handle CWB for either my 10D or 20D at all. Instead it does a AWB on a frame by frame basis. The following is the latest post I made at

I just finished a rather conclusinve test shooting the 10D and 20D under the same lighting as before. With each, I shot 3 consecutive frames of the Komatex and set CWB after each. Then I shot 5 frames of my son in front of the same blue background as before. Then I opened the 10D images in 3.5.2 and everything looked as expected. All had normal skintones and all reported the same WB as the Komatex. Then I opened the same 10D images in 3.6 (which has its own Preview folder) and all the gray xcard images were the same WB but the shots of my son were different WB #s in CO and were decidedly warmer. Then as you say, I went to the WB pull down menu and chose \"Camera Custom\" and voila! the number changed to exactly the same as the Komatex and the preview changed to a cooler more normal appearance. I took a screenshot of each and posted them in the above mentioned pbase gallery. (You can see that not only does the number change in the WB tab but the Preview changes as well.)

Then I opened the 20d images im 3.6 and did just as the other two tests had done. The problem is that for the 20D there is no \"Camera Custom\" option in the pull down menu.
So I think this pretty well proves that the problem is with 3.6. It gets it wrong with both the 10D and 20D. For the 10d there is a workaround by choosing Camera Custom. For the 20D no such option is available.
The result is that for the 20D, unless one has saved the shot of the neutral object used for the CWB, and can copy that setting to the other images, there is no CWB funtionality at all.
At weddings, I go to the trouble of setting a CWB every time I change lighting setups, and I expect my conversion software to be able to take advantage of it. This is not just a bug, it is a serious loss of functionality.

I have exactly the same with the 1Ds MKII. If I shot a grey card and shoot with the manual white balance setting, they won't show up in C1 3.6. the WB settings in ACR are consitent in C1 they change for each shot frame. As the custom option is missing in the WB selections in C1 you can't set it to the manually adjusted WB. The small thumbs look fine the opend pictures are way of the chart. 0
