Photoshop you can run a Auto Levels

Alternitively you can do it manually with greater control

open the histogram up of the R G B channels
open up Levels (Image --> Adjustment --> Levels)

you have 3 options RGB combined, and the individual channels align the histogram so they all drop under each other. You can also use this technique for a DPP stretch.

Hope that helps oh and for the record i havn't bothered with WB/Custom white balance for ages unless im doing terrestrial work which makes post processing a whole lot easier. Astro is different as you are stretching the data out to fill the full 16 or 32 bit gamut.
