Yes, it is supposed to embed these profiles for 8 bit scans, and in
preferences it allows you to choose either the display profile or "other".
Under "other" there is only a Kodak profile and an Epson 1200 profile(my
printer). I once figured out how to add a custom version of Adobe RGB space,
but it didn't work properly anyway. When the beta version of PCI 5 was
briefly posted, I did try that and it was easy to embed profiles with it.
With 12 bits per channel scans, PCI will embed either a color slide or color
negative profile, and Photoshop will convert to my Adobe RGB space. I have
been happy with that.

Here's what the Help file from Insight says:
"Embedding Color Profiles
With PolaColor Insight software, you can embed a color profile (information
about the image color space) within your image file. Color profiles produce
more accurate colors when files are printed or viewed with applications
conforming with ICM standards. Adobe Photoshop software (version 5) is an
example of such an application.
Enable color profile embedding by clicking the Embed Color Profile box when
choosing a filename for a scanned image. The profile embedded is the output
profile, the same one used to create your image file. "
This is version 4.5. I read that to mean it should be embedding the profile.

Stan,
Vuescan does embed the selected Adobe RGB profile but Insight 4.5 will not.
Insight will only embed the monitor profile for 8 bit scans or a special
scanner slide or negative profile for high bit scans( I do the latter). So,
when an Insight scan arrives in Photoshop, it is embedded with a profile
different from your chosen Adobe RGB and, therefore, it asks you if you want
to convert.
But, the next version of Insight(v5 coming soon)will supposedly be able to
embed profiles.

When I use the SS4000 with the Insight software and I use the Adobe1998
setting in Insight, Photoshop still asks me if I want to convert the image
to Adobe 1998. When I use VueScan with Adobe1998 selected, I don't get the
"ask when color profile mismatch" box when opening the image in Photoshop.
A second question is: is there a VueScan plugin for Photoshop so that it
will appear on the File/Import scanner menu?
