I thought I remembered seeing this but still can't find it on the web page at<br>
|
||
least. So which ones does it work with?<br>

||

|
||
Okay I'll let you know the story. I'm trying to scan a card that's basically<br>
|
||
an embossed white graphic on a slightly off-white background. Well, the<br>
|
||
scanner sees that the thing is almost totally white, and saturates the scan<br>
|
||
really bad. The histogram in xsane does not fall off at the high<br>
|
||
Luminosities, it just saturates. From looking at other stuff on the net,<br>
|
||
this appears abnormal, even for stuff on white backgrounds. I am under the<br>
|
||
ipression that this is what the "Quality Calibration" is for (though I could<br>
|
||
be wrong) is to set the white point so that it is not out of the scanner's<br>
|
||
sensing range, as it apparently is on mine since white and off-white come up<br>
|
||
as the same color -- ffffff white. I would assume it's just an impossible<br>
|
||
scan but someone else did it on another scanner and it came out fine, I'm<br>
|
||
just trying to match that (and not even coming close).<br>
|
||
Now for what happens when when I try to use the calibration. Nothing.<br>
|
||
There is no noticable difference in the scans or the activity performed by<br>
|
||
the scanner. I assume that even if the firmware is doing the calibration<br>
|
||
that it still has to DO something i.e. the lamp has to move prior to the<br>
|
||
actual scan. (Again I could be wrong let me know if I am) In my case I find<br>
|
||
no difference between having the button checked or not in the frontend.<br>

|
||
<p>
|
||
Hopefully I'm not totally off base here. I think my scanner is capable of<br>
|
||
doing calibration, since the starting of the driver says<br>
|
||
[umax] f/w support function:<br>
|
||
[umax] ---------------------<br>
|
||
[umax] quality calibration<br>
|
||
but it likely performs it in the firmware, since the<br>
|
||
"change" to firmware 1.5 for this scanner was to add software calibration.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I think I could do better if I had an idea what I was looking for. What is<br>
|
||
the Quality Calibration supposed to work like? Should it happen at the<br>
|
||
beginning of each scan when the button is checked? Should the scan process<br>
|
||
be different? A two pass scan maybe? If it's not working is this because<br>
|
||
the driver is just not telling the scanner to do it properly? Is this<br>
|
||
documented anywhere or is this a trial and error type thing?<br>

Thanks for the help, and thanks for your work on the driver, it scans<br>
|
||
photographs great!<br>
