<P><EM>&gt; What is the difference between 8-bit and 12-bit images?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I notice that it takes twice as much space for a pnm file under 12-bit vs 8-bit.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; When I used Sane 1.00 under SuSE 6.1, I was able to scan (xscanimage) 12-bit
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; images and view them in GIMP. But when I tried Sane 1.0.1 with Umax 1.0.1
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; back-end (Umax Astra 1220s), I was only able to scan in 8-bit mode. 12-bit
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; yielded purple text and green background. 8-bit looks good.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Ultimately, I will be using xscanimage to scan photographs. I have many photos
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; stored under 12-bit graphics, which were converted to JPGs, but now I cannot
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scan in 12-bit. I would rather scan in 12-bit just to make sure that the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; photos are the best they can be?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; What is the difference, and is there a way to get Sane 1.0.1 to do 12-bit like
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 1.0 did?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I am using Umax Astra 1220s on a Slackware 7.0 system.
</EM><BR>

<P>Hi Rick,
<BR>
<P>1) xscanimage does not support 12 bpp (16bpp) at all, if you got a good looking
<BR>
output with it that was luck.
<BR>
2) if you do not know for what it is good you simply don`t need it. Displays and
<BR>
graphic programs normally work with 8(24) bpp. A printer is not able to
<BR>
make visibile all information that are in 8/24) bpp.
<BR>
Only if you want to do &quot;hard&quot; color correction AFTER scanning it could get relevant.
<BR>
3) Try xsane if you really think you need it.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
