Whenever we want to convert between colorspaces for which no 
lcms transform is possible, when we want to convert from QColor (for 
instance, on picking a color in a color selector) or the other way
around: when the color picker is used and we want to show the selected
color in the color selectors. We convert between colorspaces whenever
we want to composite layers in two different colorspaces.

For literally every painting action: just drawing a line is a collection
of bitBlts. For compositing layers for display (all layers are bitBltted
and only the root layer is converted to a QImage.
