ACR is Adobe Camera Raw, which is an included plugin that loads RAW files into CS/CS2. You can set accurate white balance by clicking on a neutral colour (grey/white) in the image. ACR will figure out the colour temp and tint from that (on Canon RAW files, anyway). Assuming your lighting is consistent from shot to shot you can then apply these settings to the other pics.

This way may be better for someone who doesn't have a rigid shooting workflow as the grey/white card shot can be taken at any point in the shoot. If you were supposed to set in camera white balance at the start, and forget, well....
