This is useful, for example, if most of your textures are sRGB but you are also using scanned film in DPX format as image planes for background plates. No matter what color space gets assigned by the rules, you can always specify a different input color space for individual color-managed nodes. The rules are applied whenever you select an image file as an input in the scene, such as for a Lets you create rules to automatically assign initial color spaces to image inputs. This is useful, for example, if you want to quickly check the raw color values.

The view transform converts scene-referred colors to display-referred colors, and might also apply other adjustments for aesthetic reasons (for example, a look or color grade).
