Agfa uses the private tags of an ICC profile to tell the Fotolook
software if the ICC profile is for transparencies or reflection scans.
Without the correct tag entry the ICC profiles will not show up in the list.
Since you have ProfileMaker open a ColorTune Agfa profile in Gretag's
Profile Editor and note the private tag entries. Then open your custom
profile an add those entries so Fotolook recognizes the custom ICC profile.
Don't even get me started as to how long this has been an issue with the
Fotolook software.
