Well, I doubt that this is a backend problem, unless the Snapscan actually<br>
supports 12-bit or 16-bit per sample scans.<br>
<p>
Your JPEG images make the visual problem immediately apparent, but it is<br>
very hard to decide exactly what the cause of the problem is once JPEG<br>
has destroyed (yes -- really, destroyed) large parts of the image detail.<br>
Can you make lossless compressed TIFF files available somehow?<br>
<p>
I had some (limited, because of JPEG artifacts) success in enhancing the<br>
photos from your web page so that the SANE picture was closer to the one<br>
from Photolook. So at least some of the effect of Photolook is in the<br>
enhancement of the image after it has been transfered from the scanner.<br>
<p>
Probably more work is needed on Auto calibration (see XSane) or on the<br>
options and previews in the frontends. If the 310 has 12-bit or 16-bit<br>
modes, then the backend should support those eventually, but again there<br>
is no support in the graphical frontends (yet)<br>
