Hi. Here is a question to the experts.<br>
<p>
I'm developing the Canon backend. The backend works with some Canon<br>
flatbed scanner models and with my 35mm-film scanner model 2700F. This<br>
model can scan negatives and slides.<br>
<p>
When scanning negatives, there is a SCSI command to set the scanning<br>
speed. In this way, dark photos can be scanned at a lower speed, exposing<br>
the film to more light so that the scanned image looks good. Alas, this<br>
speed setting command works only for negatives, not for slides (that's<br>
what the specs say and it's true, I've tried it). Unfortunately, the only<br>
available and fixed scanning speed for slides is invariably too fast.<br>
Almost all slides get scanned too dark. What to do?<br>
<p>
I thought I could try to outsmart the scanner and tell it to scan a<br>
negative at a low speed when in fact I am feeding it a slide. Inverting<br>
the colors is then an easy problem. The difficult problem is that, when<br>
scanning negatives, the scanner automatically removes the orange color of<br>
negative films. Slide films do not have this orange color, so if I try<br>
this trick, the scanner gives me an image where all information about<br>
orange-like colors is missing.<br>
<p>
Does anyone know of a good way to get this orange back? Just "adding" it<br>
with e.g. the Gimp doesn't help, the image still doesn't look good. With<br>
some other operations, specially "equalize" I can get the image to look<br>
almost good, but not quite, and worst of all, the histogram is then "full<br>
of holes".<br>
<p>
I have put on my Web-page a sample image scanned as a negative and as a<br>
slide, in case someone wants to see the effects and maybe experiment with<br>
the images. Find them at: <a href="http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane/blueslides">http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane/blueslides</a><br>
<p>
Any help would be very much appreciated.<br>
