The Adobe RAW pre-sets don't align at all well with the camera pre-sets and you monitor doesn't need to be calibrated to remedy the problem. Your query prompted me to do something that I've thought about on and off but had not yet done. I've just created a set of camera RAW WB pre-sets for the Pentax *ist D (should be OK for the *ist DS too). Down-load the following file: http://www.home.aone.net.au/audiobias/temp/ist_D_WB_settings.zip ..and place the files in: \Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Presets\Camera Raw You can then apply any of the standard integrated Camera WB to any RAW file using "Load Settings" in ACR.
