<i>&gt; &gt;Please set the shading type in advanced options to "calculate average and</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt;and do some color scans (not preview)!</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Oliver, I tried it with XSane 0.19 and Gimp on my Astra 610S. The "calculate average</i><br>
<i>&gt; and invert" not only works but it works quite well! Thank you. I played with it a fair</i><br>
<i>&gt; bit this afternoon and had no problems.</i><br>
<p>
Thanks for that info!<br>
<p>
<p>
<p>
<i>&gt; A couple of suggestions about XSane:</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; 1) Rather than just having one printer command in Copy mode, I would like to have 3</i><br>
<i>&gt; radio buttons, labelled "Draft", "Good" and "Best" with individual printer commands</i><br>
<i>&gt; assignable to each. I have an Epson Stylus Colour II inkjet printer set up with</i><br>
<i>&gt; GhostScript with different print queues for different output quality. I don't need 720 x</i><br>
<i>&gt; 720 dpi resolution for photocopying a page of text where 180 x 180 monochrome is</i><br>
<i>&gt; ample (i.e. draft mode) but would like to have 720 x 720 CMYK available for</i><br>
<i>&gt; photocopying some beautifully coloured fractals!</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
I plan to add a setup/selection for different printers. But this will take a while, there<br>
areother important things first.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; 2) In copy mode, Xsane will not work if the filename in the entry box in scan mode is</i><br>
<i>&gt; non-existant or invalid. A small point but why should it matter in copy mode?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
Should be ok in the next version!<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; 3) I don't know if this next one is possible in Xsane. In Copy mode, I would like the</i><br>
<i>&gt; ability to specify the image position on the print page if the zoom factor is &lt; 100%.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Right now, it simply centres the image on the page.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
That will come in the far futuer the way it is done in xv.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; 4) The availablity of the histogram, coupled with the ability to adjust levels from the</i><br>
<i>&gt; histogram is marvellous. Thank you, it is a significant enhancement to the</i><br>
<i>&gt; functionality of Sane. But the custom gamma table (or curve tools) in xscanimage is</i><br>
<i>&gt; also very powerful. Could you add that code from xscanimage to XSane and make the</i><br>
<i>&gt; best of both worlds available?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
The gamma curve display in xscanimage is done by gtk. There is an important bug in<br>
theroutine, the quality of the generated gamma table is very bad if the display window is<br>
small.<br>
The gamma table quanitsation is given by the pixels (in x direction) by the window.<br>
Because of that I will not include it into xsane until this is corrected.<br>
May be someone likes to do this!<br>
<p>
<p>
<i>&gt; 5) When adjusting the scanning parameters using the Histogram or custom gamma</i><br>
<i>&gt; table, could you add a second image to the scan preview? One showing the current</i><br>
<i>&gt; preview image before adjustment with the second showing the preview effects of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; Histogram/gamma table adjustment for direct comparison.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
Sounds like a good idea, I will see...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; 6) Should you ever come over here, to British Columbia on the wet coast of Canada,</i><br>
<i>&gt; please let me know. I want to buy you a few beers! :-)</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
;-)<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Cheers,</i><br>
<i>&gt; Rob</i><br>
<p>
Bye<br>
