Opening the "NKWide.icm" JPG in 'Windows 8 Preview' isn't too bad, but the QI one is really red.
Is Windows 8 viewer colour managed? I'm not convinced W7 is.
QU is of course fully colour managed, so what is showing in the Exif bar under the thumbs panel when the mouse is hovered over the thumb? If it shows the Nikon profile and it's embedded there are will be asterisks either side of the profile name.

Terry,
QU shows the following in Windows 8-64 bit:
Correct color JPG shows:
Cam/clr: Nikon D800E, *sRGB IEC61966-2.1*
The "very red" JPG shows:
Cam/clr: Nikon D800E, NKWide.icm (without the astericks)
Both images were processed in CS6 too. Fwiw, CS6 seems to handle that NKWide.icm and they look alike (NKWide.icm looks like the sRGB one for some reason
), and Nikon's ViewNX2 shows them looking the same too. QU is handling the two color icm's differently than those two. InfranView shows a slightly warmer color for the NKWide.icm. The QU one is really red though.
Okay. I give up. Corel Paint Shop Pro 5 makes the sRGB one very red and the NKWide one appears normal in it.
I'm not fond of PSP X5 as it likes to take over and reset the default monitor color from the ColorMunki setting so I have to recalibrate with the CM if I open and use PSP X5.
The "Details" in Windows 8 File Manager shows 'Color Representation' as "sRGB" in one, and is blank in the other which I am guessing is the NKWide.icm image.
Not really a big deal as I print from a ProPhoto TIFF generally, but the Nikon JPG's sure look
very red with the NKWide.icm in QU.
I'll send you a skin-tone image and you can see the NKWide.icm vs. the sRGB icm JPG difference from screen captures in QU if needed.
