I said:<br>
<i>&gt; Actually, automatically choosing brightness, contrast and gamma from</i><br>
<i>&gt; a selection on the preview is exactly the feature on the windows</i><br>
<i>&gt; driver for my Umax S12 that I miss most in sane. That and being</i><br>
<i>&gt; able to zoom the preview window to make a decently precise</i><br>
<i>&gt; selection.</i><br>
<p>
David Fox:<br>
<i>&gt; Having the software actually select the contrast and brightness and</i><br>
<i>&gt; gamma is a lot trickier, with subjective elements. Its one of those</i><br>
<i>&gt; problems, like the travelling salesman problem, that are impossible in</i><br>
<i>&gt; theory but solved in practice every day. Are the algorithms for doing</i><br>
<i>&gt; this proprietary, or are there no image processing experts here? I</i><br>
<i>&gt; know about image synthesis, but not much about image processing.</i><br>
<p>
One of the things the Umax S12 software sets automatically is the dark and<br>
brightest pixels. This is fairly easy to measure and is usually what I want<br>
to do anyway (of course how it maps into the backend controls is another<br>
matter). It does indeed show the effect of the adjustments on the preview<br>
without rescanning. However I don't really think it gets it right, showing<br>
the preview as lighter than the the scanned image looks. I suspect the problem<br>
is a disagreement with photoshop and the gimp over monitor gamma.<br>

<i>&gt; Will all be included into my new frontend.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Online gamma/contrast/brightness-changes already work,</i><br>
<i>&gt; automatic contrast/brightness is easy to implement.</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I think I will make a pre-alpha-version available next week!</i><br>
<p>
Great! Is zooming of the preview window present in this alpha version?<br>
I would love to alpha test it as lack of these features has kept me preferring<br>
to keep using the windows software.<br>
