Stephen:

As I understand it, VueScan creates the scanner profile based on the 
raw scan, therefore all the settings on the Color Tab don't make any 
difference during profile creation.

During use of the profile, the profile is applied and then any Color 
Tab settings are applied.

Remember that the VueScan profile is a "matrix" type profile, that is 
it only specifies the white point,RGB primaries, and RGB gammas.  It 
does not create a CLUT (color lookup table) that get loaded into your 
video card like typical commerical profiling packages do.
