Frustrated by Corel's tardiness in creating Pentax KP camera profiles for their Aftershot Pro 3 RAW processing software I've just written my own versions and they appear to work okay, I attach a zip copy of both parts below. One works for jpgs and the other for dng RAW files. So far they have not set fire to my Aftershot Pro 3 but they come without any warranty!
If anybody uses them I would be grateful for any feedback.

Thank you for working on this for us all. Can I ask how you did this? I would like to learn how to do it.
I have been mostly satisfied with the results I get changing EXIF data on the files to a K-70, but some pics do not work out well. In particular, there seems to be an issue with reds overexposing when it is not a bright setting and there is high contrast. There is a bunch of noise in the red even when I have all adjustments set to do nothing to the DNG file. I can not adjust anything to get those up to the JPG quality. Some other issues is an overall overexposed image sometimes. I installed your DNG profile and imported the original file for one example. I also have the darkness for the file with that. Bringing the exposure up to where it is supposed to be, the result is a little less red noise and overexposure on another area, but still the JPG is better. It is a high contrast image, where it is in the shade with some sunlight creeping through.
If this sharing works, the top left is unadjusted DNG with EXIF changed to K-70, the right is the JPG, and the bottom is the DNG using your camera profile and exposure brought up to match. The most obvious differences are in the red, but the gray sweatshirt is overexposed as well
