straight daylight is one of the easiest to get right settings, so that works 
out. tricky lighting like you describe has no single correct setting.

I'm not surprised. I rarely do any color adjustment, and I frequently 
shoot AWB. However, last week I did some shots in an exhibition hall with 
what appeared to be mercury vapor lighting in the ceiling. In some areas 
there was some tungsten light at floor level as well. I set white balance 
manually for some shots and used AWB for others. The results were 
comparable, but I wasn't happy with the color on some of the shots. I was 
able to make adjustments with the converter's "calibrate" sliders to my 
satisfaction. Whether or not the colors were "real" wasn't important in 
this case.
