Daniel,

A screenshot is more simple to understand than a long explaination in 
English :

Look in Setup/Color management dialog :

http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/184

...there is a check box option in "behaviour" section named : "Launch Color 
Management plugin with RAW files"

Set on this option and you will be happy to see the right plugin started in 
editor to apply ICC profiles on your RAW file :

http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/181

...where you can set the right camera profile and adjust contrast/luminosity

Friendly 

Gilles
