Hello there. Just registered and this is my first post. I know this is an old thread and all, but I just wanted to thank Torger for his works on the profiles made available here.
I have taken a picture of a flower and I can't seem to get a decent camera profile that doesn't make it's colors "electric".
Also, I can't ever seem to find Lightroom's skies rendered better then CaptureOne, and that's with C1's default color profile.
Don't really know about skin tones, but I have a question: is there any one single profile that looks good for every kind of photography ( considering same illuminant)?
Landscape, macro, portrait etc, supposing same weather conditions - is it too much to expect that I can use only one profile for it all and it will always looks awesome?
Anyway, here's a link to the original compressed RAW file of the flower and it's in-camera generated JPEG.

But it's not really linear, if I crank the vibrance slider up, some colors look too vibrant (can't recall which ones right now, camera is new and I haven't taken too many decent pictures with it worth peeping to much).
Still, the in-camera JPEG is close enough to what I recall from the scene, but still a bit electric too. And I just love shooting RAW for a variety of reasons.
Also, C1's color renderings almost always look better then Lightrooms, as I said. The problem is: I think the software itself is too cumbersome and Lightroom is A LOT more practical to work with.
BTW: These verification steps are a PITA.
