 <br>
It's understandable with the holidays and all. :)<br>
 <br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Thanks to all the developers of SANE, onSCSI and Matto Marjanovic for</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; helping me to get this working. :)  The colors aren't as correct as the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; windows drivers, but its so subtle you'd never notice.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Then you are lucky. What is needed is a shading correction. I have some</i><br>
<i>&gt; information how to do this shading correction for the Phantom 336cx, but</i><br>
<i>&gt; I assume it is the same for the SlimScan C3. However, this will need some</i><br>
<i>&gt; modifications, and don't have such a model, so I won't be able to test</i><br>
<i>&gt; it. Unfortunately, the algorithm to correct the colours is somewhat different</i><br>
<i>&gt; for other Phantom/Slimscan models like the C6/Phantom 636cx.</i><br>
<p>
In my excitement I seem to have posted prematurely, the scanner does work<br>
flawlessly, color is fine for the depths I'm able to scan in, however, on<br>
closer inspection with a few more "test" scans, it seems I'm only able to<br>
select 8 bit color in xscanimage, even though my scanner does support 36<br>
bit, I was using xsane and therefore had no bit depth color option and<br>
assumed it was 36 bit. This would obviously account for the lackluster<br>
color.  Do you have any idea why this might be happening?<br>
<p>
Any modifications required I'd be happy to test out.<br>
