Thanks a lot for the reply, Armando.

This problem didn't always exist. It kicked in a few months ago, and it is annoying. I've looked at all those settings, and yes, I can go in and change the profile to match what my camera was set to, but I'm perplexed as to why I need to do this. For jpgs it registers as "embedded profile" and is correct, always, but for RAW it feels the need to convert it to Adobe Standard, disregarding the camera settings.

But it only does this for NEF. If I import as DNG it reads the profile correctly. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is some wrangling to get me to use DNG instead of Nikon's native RAW file.

Thanks again.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, video drivers etc? Having worked in IT for 20 years it is almost like Microsoft and rebooting your computer. Tends to fix weird issues. I would reinstall after stripping out anything associated with the program. Adobe does provide a free tool to completely remove any of their products for free. Sometimes just using the standard uninstall options does not get all the little things hidden.
Adobe removal tool

BTW just doing a simple google search indicates this is a fairly common issue.

im happy to report that i solved the problem.

i discovered that windows 8, in control panel under "colour management", had my monitor profile set to some asus thing. when i set it to sRGB, all problems cleared up.

This leaves me wondering though...one of the profiles available was Adobe RGB 1998, which i hear is industry standard for things like printing. given that these profiles affect what i see in photoshop, is srgb really what it should be set to while editing?

If you're editing for web, yes. And most lower-end industry printers assume sRGB as well. If you're doing serious, high-end printing you'll need to get printer profiles from your lab and work with those as well. It's a very complicated topic.
