I’m using the VueScan + NLP workflow to scan color negatives.  
The tutorial states that I need to sample the border for white balance after I imported the raw file, but after I hit convert in NLP, I can also edit WB in the NLP panel.  
What are the differences between these 2 places? Are they functionally equivalent, or should I set both?
