It is a scan which has not been modified as much (not a linear file, I don't think) that you can reprocess as you wish within Vuescan options. The benefit is that one scan can be a master while you try different options. I was never that organized. My preferred method with a scan is to capture as much information as possible (16 bit, not clipped, not sharpened etc) and edit it with Photoshop. Others like to do as much as possible with the scanner software. But raws ain't raws.
