Hi Steve,
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Tue, 01 Aug 2000 12:40:12 -0700, Stephen Williams &lt;<A HREF="mailto:steve@icarus.com?Subject=Re:%20quick%20note%20from%20the%20TWAIN/SANE%20meeting%20at%20OLS&In-Reply-To=&lt;200008011942.MAA14329@panda.mostang.com&gt;">steve@icarus.com</A>&gt; said:

<EM> &gt;&gt; o add support for other image types (jpg for example)
</EM><BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; I have various page scanners just dying to get SANE
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; drivers, but produce JPEG and TIF formatted image
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; streams. Sure, I can decompress them in the driver when
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; scanning into i.e. GIMP, but that is ridiculous when trying
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; to use these scanners at speed.
<BR>
<P>The key is to find someone that has time to actually prototype this.
<BR>
Since SANE tends to follow the IETF approach of &quot;rough concensus and
<BR>
working code&quot;, a working prototype is going to be critical to getting
<BR>
it into SANE. IMHO, this will need to be coupled with a library
<BR>
interface that provides conversion from one image format to another
<BR>
(possibly by going through a shared intermediate representation). I
<BR>
have some ideas on how to do this and would love to work on a
<BR>
prototype, but given my current workload, I won't be able to work on
<BR>
this very soon. So, if someone else wanted to work on this, let us
<BR>
all know.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; <A HREF="mailto:David.Mosberger@acm.org?Subject=Re:%20quick%20note%20from%20the%20TWAIN/SANE%20meeting%20at%20OLS&In-Reply-To=&lt;200008011942.MAA14329@panda.mostang.com&gt;">David.Mosberger@acm.org</A> said:

<EM> &gt;&gt; exactly)
</EM><BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; ICC Profiles, and their use. This is a significant lack in
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen&gt; GIMP as well.
<BR>
<P>Are you familiar with this stuff? If so, would you be willing to
<BR>
write a proposal on how to add the required support? I think that
<BR>
would help a lot of folks on this list better understand what it takes
<BR>
to make this happen. I know TWAIN is working on this too, and I
<BR>
wouldn't have a problem following the TWAIN approach for color spaces
<BR>
where it makes sense (no point in reinventing the wheel).
