OVERVIEW
I have been working on developing two Lightroom Presets. Both are designed for use with the K10D and the K20D and match the color profile of both cameras.
K10D-K20D CS-CB.lrtemplate -- Contrast Basic (CB) produces RAW output somewhat consistent with standard JPG output for additional postprocessing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 or later.
K10D-K20D CS-CE.lrtemplate -- Contrast Enhanced (CE) produces RAW output automatically adjusted for Brightness, Contrast, Exposure, and Shadows for additional postprocessing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 or later. CE gives a rendering closer to what was actually seen in about 95% of shots tested.
REQUIREMENTS
Both of these presets require that Adobe Camera Profiles Beta 2 be installed in Lightroom.
The new Adobe Standard and Camera Matching camera profiles require Lightroom 2.0 or later. In general, they can be used in any raw converter that supports DNG 1.2. These camera profiles will NOT work correctly with earlier versions of Lightroom (i.e., LR 2 public beta, 1.4.1 and earlier). Please note that the new profiles will NOT work correctly with the public beta of Lightroom 2. Only the release version of Lightroom 2 will load and process the new profiles properly.
These camera profiles only work with raw files. They do not apply to already-rendered images such as TIFF or JPEG files.
DOWNLOADS AND INSTALLATION
Download camera profiles beta 2 (updated October 22, 2008):

To install the profiles, first be sure to quit Photoshop and Lightroom. Then run the installer software and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the installer has successfully finished, you should be able to use the new profiles.
Once you have installed Adobe Camera Profiles Beta 2, you can download the two Lightroom Presets: (I suggest you unzip them in a temporary folder). You will find the link for download at the end of this posting.
To install the presets, start Lightroom 2.0 and go to the Develop Module. Next create a New Preset Folder called #K10D-K20D Base. Right click on the #K10D-K20D Base folder. Left click on Import. Select K10D-K20D CS-CB.lrtemplate and K10D-K20D CS-CE.lrtemplate from the folder where you unzipped them. Press the import button. The new presets are now available to use.
IF YOU ARE USING LIGHTROOM 2.2, YOU SHOULD UPDATE THE VERSIONS POSTED ON PAGE 2 OF THIS THREAD.
