Great article I will need to read it a couple more times before I can really 
get my head around it. First question that I have is how do I deal with the 
raw images out of my Pentax K200D? There is no embedded profile in the raw 
files and I cannot find one for this camera anywhere on the internet. On the 
CD that came with the camera there are icc files for sRGB and AdobeRGB but I 
don't know if these have any bearing on the processing of PEF/DNG files.
