Hi,<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I am trying to use the "10-bit scan" option in xscanimage. However, it is</i><br>
<i>&gt; not working. When I try to acquire a Preview image, the scanner whirs,</i><br>
<i>&gt; then I get the error:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Error: Preview cannot handle depth 16.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; But I am running my Xserver in 32bpp mode!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Is this a known problem? Is there a fix available?</i><br>
<p>
There is no frontend that can handle more then 8 bits per color.<br>
The umax-backend already supports this function, but you can not<br>
use it because there is no other software that can handle it.<br>
<p>
But if you use gamma correction, the image is scanned with 10 bits/color<br>
and converted with a 10 to 8 bit gamma table, so you get improvement<br>
by the 10 bit mode of your scanner.<br>
<p>
There is no graphic card that can handle more than 8 bits/color<br>
(= 24 bits/pixel), so you don't have a need of it. The only<br>
sense of more than 8 bits/color is if you like to do color manipulation<br>
after the scan.<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
Oliver<br>
