As the author of the Artec backend awakens from his holiday slumber......<br>
<p>
The low-end models of the Artec scanners do not support brightness in<br>
hardware. There is a brightness option, but it is defined as being<br>
INACTIVE (visible by doing a scanimage -h). From looking at other<br>
backends, it looks like when an option is inactive, the backends do the<br>
same thing the Artec backend does if you try to set that option with<br>
sane_control_option(), they return SANE_STATUS_INVAL. I have downloaded<br>
the winsane frontend but don't have Windows installed anywhere here at my<br>
house in order to test it. Guess that old 486 might get used after all. :-)<br>
I don't know if this is why the program was messing up for Andre, but<br>
it may be the frontend does not handle SANE_STATUS_INVAL.<br>
<p>
For the low-end Artec scanners (which I happen to have one of) I'm going<br>
to have to do the brightness in software according to the docs. The<br>
high-end Artec models support brightness in hardware, but I have not yet<br>
implemented it (actually I think they support brightness per RGB channel).<br>
