I absolutely agree with you Henrik. Using PS6 to generate profiles is not
for those who seek any kind of perfection in quality. The profiles will
however work technically in other software, but my guess is that Anders is
using them in PS6. What he is trying to do is to tweek non-PS6 profiles and
that's not even technically possible in PS6.
