You have been fooled by the existance of all these official looking
selections in the ColorSync control panel into believing they actually
control something... with the exception of the monitor profile (which is
actually set in the Monitors control panel in recent versions of the OS)
there is nothing here used by any program except a few AppleScripts. To set
up your color workflow for SilverFast you need to go to the advanced settings
in the SilverFast application, and select them appropriately there.

Hardly matters what you set any ColorSync CP setting to... I don't even check
them any more.

Can't stay in the scanner space forever... unless you feel a need to archive
a highbit scan in the scanner space before moving on to practical work on the
file, just convert on opening and get on with it.
