I tried this version:



http://www.markusfelix.de/2012/05/d800-uniwb.html



There are not so many alternatives on the net, but I expect to see more in the future (T.Hogan had also promised to publish another one...)



Honestly, I think using UniWB without a proper exposure setting would be useless, it's not a magic cure. I had the chance to try this WB setting only once when I took pictures of my little daugther. Since I had the skin tone as a tonal reference and I actually knew the colors of the dresses on her, I could achieve to find the correct tint setting during PP easily. But even so, it takes considerable time. And one more remark, I haven't tried it on challenging red biased flower close ups.



So all in all, based on the lighting of the scene I believe these are the keys for what you can get from your raw files: proper WB setting + proper exposure setting + checking the RGB histogramms after the shot...

I downloaded the file you mentioned and used for landscape photos it does help to recover highlights and push shadows. You are absolutely correct it doesn't do miracles, but is helpful. I also did one autoWB on each scene I used the uniWB, and can say that in most part is the better setting. The down side is the extra work. I will upload some pictures to share at the end of the week.
