Dojo Camera Tools
Camera Tools Example
If you have ever been frustrated by Lightroom loading an image that looks just awesome only to have it switch over to a much blander image a few seconds later, than the Camera Dojo Camera Tools is a set of presets you are going to love. Adobe has created profiles for all the supported cameras and applying these calibration settings to your images will make them come right back to life. The best thing to do for most people is to use the Camera Standard preset during import to achieve a color calibrated workflow from your camera into Lightroom 2.0. The regular camera setting presets will work with most brands of cameras (tested with Nikon and Canon - Thanks Dennis) and there are some specifc presets just for Nikon cameras.
You will need the Adobe Camera Profiles available at: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles

To install, extract the files into the Adobe Lightroom Preset folder, on Windows XP, this will be a folder such as this:

On a Macintosh, I have no idea until someone tells me.
