Yes, but not in the normal way. Normally profiling a camera would mean you're
making a profile faithfully reproduce accurate colors.
At least for this experiment, that's not my intention.
My camera, does internally apply a color conversion. Which I can't
seem to be able
to reproduce. So I'm trying to abuse ICC profiles for that.
I want to "profile" the difference, between my raw (developed
liniearly), and the JPG
produced by my camera.

Of course.

Like I said, I don't want to use the manufacturer data as a reference. But
the JPG the camera produced.

I'm aware I'm abusing ICC in an unusual way.
But is there a way to make this work?
