If your workflow involves a raw processing program like UFRAW you can
influance the resulting profiles by doing the inverse of what you want when
creating your target image. For example if you want more saturation by
default you can reduce the saturation level in UFRAW when prepairing your
target image. Then the resulting profile will add some saturation. You can
also do the same sorts of things for contrast and exposure.
