However, this is the bit that has got me confused.... now I go to Colour->Colour Management. Under 'Input Profile', 'Use default profile' is selected. If I now change that to 'Use selected profile' and browse to the exact same profile that I selected in the Settings dialog (the Nikon D40 one) all of a sudden my image has saturation and contrast. If I now change 'Workspace Profile' from 'Use default workspace profile' to 'Use selected profile' and browse to an sRGB profile I have downloaded I get even more saturation and contrast. If I now adjust the white balance to D50 instead of D65 I get something pretty close to how the embedded preview looks. But shouldn't all that be happening automatically if I have colour management enabled?
So what's going on? It looks to me as though Digikam is not applying my default profiles when it imports the RAW files, and that I would have to go through the Colour Management step for every file. What have I missed?
Finally, if I go back to using JPEG files, do I have to change the colour management settings so the input profile is sRGB?

Many of these things are known and already reported as bugs <BR>

For the time being, I would recommend to follow the status of these bugs and avoid using CM in digiKam. According to other posts here, Gilles plans to have a look at this topic before 1.0.0 final release. (You can use UFRaw to convert NEF files to sRGB in the meantime.)<BR>
