Hi,
I wanted to share the Color Calibration settings that I use in Adobe Camera Raw. I know Jono and others have had a hard time dealing with the extra Yellow in landscapes that seems to be the default with the Nikon profiles. A while back I calibrated my D3 (I have calibration for the D300 as well if anyone is interested) and colors have improved dramatically from the Adobe defaults. I get much more natural blues, reds and greens now. Since the profiling was done against my specific D3 it may or may not work effectively for others but it's certainly worth trying. If you do try I'd be interested to know if things turned out better or worse for you.
Below I've posted 2 sets of examples, the first is a quick and dirty landscape showing various shades of green and some red from a brick wall. The second set shows an indoor portrait shot showing the difference in skin tones and blues.
Ok, first the default landscape (no calibration):
