However when I went to User Preset, Import, it was greyed out from the list of items on my desktop. Jon - I did the save as and got it to my desktop.

I'm glad it's of use to others. This preset is the result of 3 or 4 revisions, and it's the best I've managed so far to get a natural look out of the D300 in Lightroom.

I just got a D300 and have been trudging through calibration scripts, in search of a calibration that gives a balance between good skin tones and accurate colors elsewhere. It seems to me that the default profile in Lightroom is way off. Skin tones are washed out, and saturated blues blow out so quickly it's ridiculous. My calibration scripts were giving better colors in clothing, but skin tones were too red in some cases. Yours does better with skin tones than anything I've made or found so far. You've obviously got a feel for how to adjust the calibration controls -- something I'm still getting the hang of. Keep up the good work, and thanks so much for sharing it! Peace, Dirk Hi, Jon,
