I was tipped off by member Jonathan Delacour about Adobe's DNG profile editor, so I thought I would take it out for a spin.
The following three images are from the same D3 NEF FILE.
First ACR 4.4
View attachment 8774
Next Adobe Profiles Beta 2
View attachment 8775
Last, A custom profile made with Adobe DNG Profile Editor
View attachment 8776
The custom profile produced markedly better results of a color checker image. It seems that the Adobe profiles were produced with lighting that might have resulted in a bit of specular reflections since I could nearly reproduce the results with more axial lighting.
