Same as ICC profile. It is delivered with your camera software. Yes, you 
usually have profiles for landscape and portrait photography at least.

Yes, look for *.icc or *.icm files.

No. digiKam displays the RAW embedded thumbnail, which has been converted by 
the camera. That's life with RAW workflow. It is not simpler in any other 
software except the camera manufacturer's own SW.
