How to choose when to embed custom .dcp in DNG Converted file

DNG Converter (9.8, but earlier also) appears to always load into the converted DNG file one of the custom .dcp profiles available for the camera in the ...\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles directory. The only way I have found to make it load the default profile (which I assume is Adobe Standard) into the .DNG file is to delete all custom profiles for the camera from the directory. I need these DNG files for purposes other than LR/ACR.

Is there a way to control whether to load a custom .dcp profile and, if so, which one of those available in ...\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles?

I don't think the DNG converter loads any custom profile. That is determined by Lightroom or camera raw. By default, Adobe Standard is the profile chosen. However, you can set your own camera defaults and have any of the available profiles loaded.

Hi Jim. I was quite surprised to find out that DNG Converter does indeed load one of the profiles into the DNG converted file (e.g. when opened in matlab it only shows one matrix for illuminant 23, what I have in one of those .dcp profiles). The question is how do I tell it not to; or, alternatively, which one to load?

Thanks for your help.

FWIW this is what Exiftool reports for the DNG converted file:

If I remove custom .dcp profiles from the ...\CameraProfiles directory, it loads what I would expect it to load (2 CM, 2FM, illuminant 17 and 21). Weird, huh?
