I discussed in "Fireweed and Cook Inlet" subject the use of Linear Profiles.
Namely to improve the shadow/highlight recovery.

This is a repository of linear profiles for various cameras already created if
one has interest in trying one. Also a description of linear profiles and why
one might want to use one:
- More flexibility in Lr/Cr since sliders often provide additional room for
adjustments.
- More predictable adjustments in Lr/Cr since the image responds better to
slider movements.
- Better shadow and highlight recovery.
- Richer, but not overly-saturated, colors.
- Hue, saturation, and luminance adjustments work better.
- More pleasing RAW conversions.
- "Expose-to-the-right" has greater potential since applying a linear profile
darkens the image.
Moose had interesting comparison of NR in "NR vs NR". I found this video on
using DXO PhotoLab 4 or DXO Pure Raw as a workflow for noise
reduction/sharpening with Lightroom or Photoshop:

He also uses one of the linear profiles in Lightroom.
