Only if you are a masochist. I have PhotoShop CS3 at work and it has a wonderful set of controls for setting color temperature, and such.
The problem is that bad color situations can't always be fixed by fiddling with color temperature. You have to go into Levels and adjust the color levels individually.
Firs of all, that's painful unless you are after an artistic effect. Second, it may give you something that looks nice but isn't accurate.
I'm sure there are times when nature photographers would value accuracy above art. Using a white card and manual white balance will give you accuracy in tough conditions.
