Saving them with no profile is what you are doing wrong. Why do you do
that? If you want to change the color space, that is what you should do:
change to color space. You can do so by choosing "Convert to
profile...".

Bernd,

For your new images, embed the nikon profile.  For your older images, use
"Assign Profile", which should immediately give your images the correct
appearance, before resaving as tiff again.  If it does not, look around for
a different version of the Nikon profile.  You may have multiple versions on
your system.

Although I generally advocate capturing in highest quality jpeg, in this
case it is fortunate that you saved as tiff, so there will be no loss of
image quality as you make this change.

"Convert to Profile" will not work because it retains the appearance of the
image as it was originally opened, which is not what you want.
