Re: filmscanners: Vuescan: "device RGB"

My understanding is that, though without embedding it, this option uses the
scanner profile as selected in your graphics program in transferring the
image to the graphics program, and the graphics program would than embed
it's default/preferred color space in the image if it embeds such spaces as
Photoshop does.

I use it as I do not need an embedded profile since I use Corel PhotoPaint.
