Most scanners return raw data straight from the CCD. Some
scanners do color conversion internally. The Epson scanners
all (optionally) convert colors to sRGB before returning it to the
host computer (this is the mode that VueScan uses). Other
scanners (i.e. HP) let you download a 3x3 matrix to do the
color transform in the scanner, but I never use this in VueScan.
