Expose NEF properly (ok, I think that was half a stop off, see referenced
directory in previous post).
Load in AfterShot (which used to be Bibble), straighten and crop to the
colorchecker, switch to linear in CM tool so that no application profile is
applied, save 16bit TIFF (any profile specified at save is not applied when
the image is in linear mode).
As Linear means no profile and no gamma applied, a dark image is the
expected result here.

The interesting question then is, does the ACR generated file have gamma
applied?
