Further - I'm not at all sure what your question may be. RAW means "unprocessed." If you're opening a RAW image file with software that has no profile; or you open it bypassing any profiling; you can't expect to see a light balanced file on your screen. Some sort of profiling/processing/adjustment must be made to a RAW file for it appear somewhat "normal."
