BTW I have tried the DNG color checker passport profiles and like them very much. My need though is for an icc Capture One solution for a studio shooting tethered to C1 using Leaf backs. I am trying to create a colormetric workflow that keeps them from exporting DNG files from one raw processor to open in another that supports the DNG profiles. I'll give it a try and if it fails I'll recommend the easier to create DNG workflow.
thanks again,
Louis
