Oh, I forgot.
Something I found out a couple of years ago that would help explain
this is that some camera makers tag the image with a response curve.
When the camera goes through final testing its color response in
measured and is programmed into the firmware. Probably it is just one
of several tags that are picked up by the maker's own conversion
software. ACR does not pick that tag up. It does its own thing with
the raw data. So there is an advantage using the maker's conversion
even if you want to transfer the image to PS for further processing.
