Here's what I learned further:
1. The IT8 profile I made with Agfa's Color tune shares the same icon
and responds the same as Agfa's stock color profiles when I try to open
it, namely activating Color Tune. I cannot see into the file.
2. This profile does NOT appear in the "missing profile/assign profile"
nor in the "image/mode/assign profile" menus.
3. It opens w/ "missing profile" and is labeled as "untagged" in PS6.
It behaves like an unprofiled file, in that its appearance changes on
screen when I change color spaces.
4. WHAT is Profile Inspector and Color Think, please?
5. The scan WITH color management checked yields a different image from
a scan with color management NOTchecked. Both files remail similarly
untagged. Also, the "destination" seems to make no difference.
Therefore, no progress yet! It continues to seem that the Agfa Color
management doesn't do color profiling/management so much as adjust color
settings within the scanner. Maybe the end result is the same?

After I make a scanner profile with my Kodak IT 8 target and its Kodak
data file, using Color Tune, the profile appears in my color sync
folder, and in the appropriate menu under "color management" in
the scanner settings in Foto Look, the scanner driver.
HOWEVER, when I open the file in Photoshop 6 the file does NOT
have a profile attached (according to Photoshop), and, when I try to do a
profile conversion my scanner profile does not appear in the profile
options for profile conversions. (The profile IS in my color sync folder.)

Its possible that it would come up on "convert on opening" as an available
source profile, but not under "convert to profile" since a scanner
profile is
a one way street and can only be a "from" profile. Try using "Apply Profile"
instead and see if its available there. Or it may indeed not be an ICC
profile at all; checking it with Profile Inspector or ColorThink would test
this, or just open it as a text file and see whats inside.
