Oh, I forgot.

Something I found out a couple of years ago that would help explain  
this is that some camera makers tag the image with a response curve.  
When the camera goes through final testing its color response in  
measured and is programmed into the firmware. Probably it is just one  
of several tags that are picked up by the maker's own conversion  
software. ACR does not pick that tag up. It does its own thing with  
the raw data. So there is an advantage using the maker's conversion  
even if you want to transfer the image to PS for further processing.
