<i>&gt; Hi there,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I'm looking towards getting a new slide scanner. I'd like to know, which</i><br>
<i>&gt; models are currently supported under linux-i386 (a solution using sane</i><br>
<i>&gt; would be preferred, but depending on scanner quality I might go for</i><br>
<i>&gt; something else as well)?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I've seen the backend list, but it doesn't say, which ones of these</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanners are slide scanners. So far, I know that</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; - Nikon Coolscan II (how about Coolscan III, or LS-2000?),</i><br>
<i>&gt; - Canon Canoscan 2700F, and</i><br>
<i>&gt; - Mikrotek Scanmaker 35t+</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; are supported. What about others?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Currently, I am using a Coolscan II, but this one has its weaknesses</i><br>
<i>&gt; with darker pictures, and it seems like, Nikon can't fix this problem</i><br>
<i>&gt; (they claim, the scanner is 100% OK).</i><br>
<i>&gt; The Coolscan III and LS-2000 are advertised to have some sort of</i><br>
<i>&gt; "scratch detection/elimination" - are these things wired into the scanner,</i><br>
<i>&gt; or is this a pure software thing (e.g. do I have access to this feature in</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane/The Gimp)?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
I have been adapting Didiers Coolscan Backend for the LS-30/2000.<br>
It is still alpha, but the main functionality is there.<br>
<p>
On the hardware-side the dust-removal is implemented by a<br>
4th color channel (infrared) which only shows the dust.<br>
The software side is responsable for using that information<br>
to interpolate the occluded regions.<br>
<p>
The latest version of my backend together with a gimp-plugin<br>
that I wrote, includes a simple version of the dust-removal.<br>
It works, but it is not production code yet as there are some<br>
manual adjustments to do.<br>
<p>
You may have a look at my homepage for more details<br>
<a href="http://andreas.rick.free.fr/">http://andreas.rick.free.fr/</a><br>
<p>
I am also working on getting 12 or 14 Bit images out of the LS-30<br>
(by multi exposure scanning) to further reduce noise in dark<br>
areas.<br>
To day the LS-30 is supported for 10 Bit scanning and the LS-2000<br>
for 12 Bit.<br>
Multiple scanning on the LS-2000 is not supported yet.<br>
<p>
If you consider buying a LS-30 or LS-2000, please ask Nikon about<br>
the scanners SCSI documentation BEFORE BUYING, saying<br>
it is very important to you to use it under Sane.<br>
All the work I have done on the Backends so far is<br>
without the docs!!!<br>
They have not replied so far to my request for documentation.<br>
