>>2679236>I don't really get this tbh. Why can't I simply collect the photons in their respective pixel sensors after the color filter array, and leave them as they are?You can.
They call it "Uni white balance".
It's useful to get a more accurate histogram for your raw files.
Problems are:
1) it's different for all cameras, you need to find a specific UniWB file for your exact camera model
2) the result is usually very green becasue most digital cameras are more sensitive to green than to red or blue.
So it's probably not what you wanted after all.
