Has been pending "for ages"

: - _camera reference_: Set the temperature to the camera reference white point, which is assumed to be D65 (or ~6502K). The white balance channel multipliers are calculated such that pure white in the camera colorspace is converted into pure white in sRGB D65 (where pure white means that each color channel has an equal value).

For convenience the final four modes can also be set by clicking on one of the buttons in the [button bar](#button-bar) above the _setting_ drop-down.
: - _as shot to reference_: (default) The white balance as reported by the camera is used in processing modules before _colorin_ for slightly better results in [_highlights reconstruction_](./highlight-reconstruction.md), [_raw chromatic aberrations_](./raw-chromatic-aberrations.md), [_demosaic_](./demosaic.md) or [_denoise profiled_](./denoise-profiled.md). This is correcter later in the pipe in [_colorin_](./colorin.md) to the camera reference white point as in _camera reference_. Please note: In a few cases the coefficients reported by the camera for 'as shot' are bad so you might prefer _camera reference_ in those cases.

You make reference to the colorin documentation here. I assume you mean input color profile?

I was intentionally referring to colorin as thats the place in the pipe where the data are finally corrected to D65. Thats the only difference compared to 'camera reference'

Will they know what a profile is? :-) I just take your word on this ...

No, but they can look at the documentation for input color profile if you give them the correct link
