<i>&gt;Hi !</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; --negative=no, but for both of them, scanimage says :</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; "scanimage: attempted to set inactive option negative"</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; With xscanimage, I do not get this problem : I can</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; uncheck the "negative" option, and then the result of the scanning is no more</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt; negative.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;The checking of options is sensitive to order. The error message says, that</i><br>
<i>&gt;the option is inactive, which means it cannot be used with the _currently_</i><br>
<i>&gt;active setup.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;I assume this option is only available, if you are using a transparencies</i><br>
<i>&gt;adapter or similar, so be sure to turn the option that specifies this</i><br>
<i>&gt;on _before_ you try to set the --negative option.</i><br>

Hi Andy,<br>
<p>
Thanks for your help. In fact, I did not find any option that is available for<br>
my scanner and that could bring the --negative option active. Here are some of<br>
the outputs that I get when I run "scanimage -h -d canon:/dev/sgb" :<br>
<p>
------------<br>
Options specific to device `canon:/dev/scanner':<br>
(...)<br>
Scan Mode:<br>
--mode Lineart|Halftone|Gray|Color [Color]<br>
Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart,monochrome, or color).<br>
--negative Negatives|Slides [inactive]<br>
Selects the film type, i.e. negatives or slides<br>
(...)<br>
Extra color adjustments:<br>
--negative[=(yes|no)] [yes]<br>
Swap black and white<br>
--------------<br>
<p>
So, the "--negative Negatives|Slides" option is inactive for my scanner, but<br>
the --negative[=(yes|no)] should be active though, when I try it, scanimage<br>
says that it is inactive. <br>
<p>
I wonder if the fact that both options get the same "--negative" name does not<br>
puzzle scanimage which then considers both of them as inactive as soon as<br>
one of them is(would it be a bug ?). It could explain that xscanimage, which<br>
does not work on a command line mode, works fine with the "negative" option.<br>
<p>
By the way, to temporarily work around this problem, does anyone know a program<br>
that can convert a negative pbm image into a positive one ?<br>
<p>
Thanks in advance<br>
<p>
Cheers<br>
<p>
Denis<br>
