Can SkanPage or SkanLite save raw images?
On AOSP, Open Camera allows saving to the raw file to standard “.DNG” (even by default). Additionally, VueScan 9.8.33 already provides this, for scanners:
Vuescan will output a .TIFF in a .DNG wrapper, which will allow it to open in Adobe Camera RAW, but it is still a .TIFF.
However, I do not observe any obvious option to in SkanLite or SkanPage, even though it should surely be easier than converting the raw image data into a more standardised format (like TIFF)?

#### Rationale
For legal purposes, sometimes it's best to have as little done t… o an image as possible. It's also useful for validating the actual capabilities of a scanner's image sensor(s) - all the same reasons as when using a standard camera.
#### My Desired Solution
Allow saving raw scans.
#### Considered Alternatives
Provide an option to not apply any automatic improvements.
#### Additional Context
On AOSP, Open Camera 1.53.1 allows saving to the raw file to standard "`.DNG`" (even by default). However, this isn't available via [`9390SimonKnuth.ScannerforWindows10_3.2.7.0_neutral_._69n05hp4v3s90.Msixbundle`](https://github.com/simon-knuth/scanner/releases/download/3.2.7.0/9390SimonKnuth.ScannerforWindows10_3.2.7.0_neutral_._69n05hp4v3s90.Msixbundle). However, VueScan 9.8.33 already provides this: [^1][^2][^3]
