<p>
When I said "quick scan" I didn't mean the "prescan".<br>
The "quick scan" happens when you put in the film without<br>
sending anything to the scanner on the SCSI bus.<br>
I called it "quick scan" as it determines already something<br>
based on the images on the film - I'm not sure whether the<br>
scanner is actually scanning.<br>
As you said: "Prescan" - which you have to ask for by a SCSI command once<br>
you have positioned the film on one image - is to find the exposure time.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Btw, is there anyway a frontend could extract the proper</i><br>
<i>&gt; RGB exposure times from you backend?</i><br>
<p>
Not in version 0.4.2 but I am working on the problem.<br>
Do you really need these values or would it be sufficient<br>
if you can change the exposure time in percent of the optimal<br>
value determined by the prescan as it was for the LS-20?<br>
I ask because my current developement version pre0.4.3 can <br>
only change the exposure values relative and I was wondering<br>
if I need to do more.<br>
