    I have various page scanners just dying to get SANE drivers, but produce
    JPEG and TIF formatted image streams. Sure, I can decompress them in the
    driver when scanning into i.e. GIMP, but that is ridiculous when trying
    to use these scanners at speed.

    ICC Profiles, and their use. This is a significant lack in GIMP as well.
