Nit blank line? Or is this hugging of two scopes intentional?

I do wonder if we should update the Adjusted to a set of Flags that say
'what' has been adjusted instead ... Then an application can identify if
it cares about the change or not.

But - I don't think that matters to this patch.

The fact we're making small adjustments but not reporting to the
application may worry me a little, but I expect if this passes your
metric for worrying about colorspace, I shouldn't worry, as you're bar
must be higher than mine!

So I'd say:
