-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>
<p>
Hi everybody,<br>
<p>
we recently bought a scanner in my group and are delighted to be able to use<br>
such neat stuff like SANE to access it under Linux. Thanks a lot!<br>
<p>
To make it even better here are some probable bugs:<br>
<p>
o the scan resolution is not saved correctly, i.e. when setting it to 200 dpi<br>
it is set to 198 after a new start of xscanimage<br>
<p>
o setting the value for Exposure to -13 or less results in an error (besides 0<br>
is 0 when coming from positive values and -0 when coming from negative ones)<br>
<p>
o trying to change any parameter during a preview or a scan results in both<br>
xscanimage and the scanner to go nuts. There is a error popup and the<br>
following error message is repeated eternally on the terminal where<br>
xscanimage was started:<br>
<p>
Error: Failed to set value of option brightness: Device busy.<br>
<p>
o when using xscanimage as a gimp plugin the transfer of the image from<br>
xscanimage to gimp sometimes doesn't seem to work. In fact, nothing seems to<br>
happen and monitoring the process list with top reveals that xscanimage is<br>
growing and growing and xscanimage and gimp use nearly the whole CPU. (When<br>
xscanimage reached 23 MB I killed it, and that was for a fairly small<br>
image of about 5 MB.)<br>
<p>
and suggestions:<br>
<p>
o what about using separate tab folders in the scan dialog for each area<br>
surrounded by a line. This would allow for a smaller scan window plus the<br>
user could better focus on the kind of parameters he actually wants to<br>
manipulate. For instance you probably often only need to change resolution<br>
and mode, so all other parametes need not to be visible.<br>
<p>
o Automatic Color Calibration: Ok, although I know nearly nothing about<br>
scanning and image processing, here is my thoughts about color calibration<br>
for a certain printer. Suppose you have an image with three linear gradient<br>
bars for the three primary colors red, green and blue from full color to<br>
black. Print this image on the desired printer. Take the printout and scan<br>
it in 'Calibration Mode'. Calibration Mode compares the reference with the<br>
scanned gradient bar separately for each color and computes three gamma<br>
corretion curves one for each primary color. The set of gamma curves can<br>
then be saved under the name of the printer.<br>
What do you think about this? Would it work? What about an<br>
additional greyscale bar for brightness correction? Would it be hard to<br>
implement?<br>
I got this thought because the colors of our scans are pretty wrong and we<br>
really have problems correction them by hand.<br>
<p>
Finally, the environment:<br>
<p>
o Pentium 133Mhz, 64 MB Ram running Debian-1.3.1r6<br>
o Microtek ScanMaker E6<br>
o GTK 0.99.0<br>
o SANE 0.68<br>
o Microtek-0.4<br>
o Gimp 0.99.16<br>
<p>
Thanks a lot for your time.<br>
<p>
Regards,<br>
<p>
Andree<br>
