I cannot directly address the Silverfast question but the theory is this.
The scanner profile is applied to the RGB data to convert it to Lab.
A. If the scanner software monkeys with RGB values, then you typically cannot use the software's editing tools as they will render the profile useless.
B. If the scanner software monkeys with Lab values (post-profile) then you can use the software's tools as the profile has been applied already and you are messing around in the connection space prior to the output profile application and hand-off. This is how Linocolor works and it works well.
This is a simplification but illustrates the basic concept.
I'll stick my little rant about Heidelberg sales folks shouting "it scans in Lab" in here. It doesn't, but the fact that it stops there and allows us to fool around is cool.
Regards,
Steve
