Why do you worry? The raw file has no been color adjusted.

 

The difference beween sRGB and Adobe RGB (or any other work space) is not an image mode change, it is a profile, a definition.

Data is not lost.

When I open a raw file scan from Vuescan in my graphics program (Picture Window--color management disabled) It has a color profile of sRGB. The crop TIFF file shows the color profile as is entered in Vuescan. Both files are 48 bit.

 

  

For those that have PS, what does the raw scan open in your graphics program?

From my understanding sRGB has a smaller color space than say Adobe RGB. The raw file scan, I have assumed, contains all the colors that are available in the 48bits. Why then are they  squeezed into sRGB color space and the crop files into a wider space?
