Please post your ACR calibrator results

I'm getting quite annoyed with the dull reds in ACR especially since the workflow and features of Lightroom are otherwise very good. I did a bit of research and saw that shooting the gretagmacbeth chart and running the RAW file through Thomas Fors' ACRcalibrator tends to give good results. As I don't have the colorchecker chart, I was wondering if anyone has done this with their Canon 350D and would be willing to post the results. It would be nice to put these values in and see what effect it has on color reproduction in Lightroom.
Thanks in advance,

    Works very well. Of course, you could just visually alter the sliders to improve the rendering of reds you prefer and be done. But yes, shooting the 24 patch Macbeth and running the script is the way to do it. You're simply tweaking the internal color profiles for differences in the sensors of your camera model versus what Thomas Knoll received when he shot his Macbeth to build his internal profiles.
