Just to be very clear, when you "profile a camera" you are NOT profiling the
camera-you are profiling the camera, the lighting and the exact raw
conversion process involved. You can't profile just the camera separate from
the lighting and the raw processing.
ACR does NOT contain two "ICC profiles" for the camera, it has spectral data
from two light sources, 3200K & D65 that are used to adjust the white
balance.
ACR II does have a calibrate function to control the hue and sat of the
resulting spectral response of the sensors. . .very useful too. But there
simply is no method of using a custom camera profile within ACR.
You _CAN_ use a profiling package to create a profile of ACR's "default"
processing conversion and apply that as a convert to profile after the fact
(ideally in 16 bit color) but then you have to bypass all the nice color
controls that ACR gives you-which is a step backward in my humble opinion.
