It appears to affect saturation, contrast and luminance. But they do this, I think, through the Adobe camera profile creator. You can make your own using camera jpegs as your comparison. There are some video tutorials floating around, and it's free.

That is because adobe have created profiles with different flavors, you can build your own but jpegs will be no good, you would need dng files using macbeth charts as targets, or you can use previously saved profiles and modify those.

To get an accurate profile the chart needs to be properly exposed and custom white balanced to begin with and contrast and luminance will also be neutral.

I think we are all saying the same thing. john is suggesting to use ooc jpeg as benchmark for the results only I believe. And my question was really which sliders are affected? I would say contrast, saturation and luminance for sure, not sure about the exposure sliders and all the others. Thanks

PS it is also a mystery to me why in LR camera calibration is the last panel. The LR folk say the panels should be used from top to bottom but camera calibration is really the very first thing you want to do on import, not the last. Doing it at the end will screw all the PP.
