No. For the moment image container is based on ARGB unsigned short
data conatiner by color component to optimize memory allocation.

RGB color space will deserve 90% of user cases.

Changing color component storage in memory will require to change a
lots of code everywhere.

Nota : For image quality reason i know 3 code that use LAB color space
to work in digiKam : Noise reduction, Local Contrast, and Restoration
tools.
