Hi everyone, I have posted this in the DNG forum but haven't gotten a response, so I thought I would try here, given how much expertise there is in this community.
I have a client who shoots with a Leica DMR. The reds are way to saturated and magenta. We created a new camera profile in the DNG editor using a color-checker chart, shot at D65'' and Tungsten. Looks great, and Lightroom recognizes it. The issue: when we look at a photograph in the DNG editor with this profile, it looks much better. When we look at the same photograph in LR/ACR with the profile selected, the reds are still too saturated and magenta (though way better than without our profile). Why would a photo look different in the two applications, with the same profile?
Image in the DNG Editor with the custom profile (still needs white balancing of course):

in Lightroom or ACR with the custom profile selected:
