Most of the 3-MK profiles use the same underlying curves set.  So, it
probably will not make much difference, but who knows -- it's worth a try.
The primary differences among the profiles are the end points for dmax and
the linearization.

I tried to make minor differences in the level and slopes of the 3 curves
within the profile even where they seem to be about the same.  I noticed
that if 2 curves were at the same level and slope, vertical microbanding
could show up in smooth patches.
