<i>&gt; &gt; No problem... I'm currently scanning some very old and deteriorating</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; black and white photographs, and I've noticed a couple of problems</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; with using xsane. First, the range of the xsane brightness and</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; contrast controls is much less than the range provided in scanimage,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; at least with my HP-3c scanner using the HP back-end.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Second, I think I will also need to be able to change the brightness</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; and contrast settings used when acquiring the preview, and see new</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; histograms and perform the usual xsane modifications in relation to</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; those new ``default'' settings.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The birghtness and contrast of xsane is a software created digital gamma</i><br>
<i>&gt; table and has nothing to do with the options the scanner makes available,</i><br>
<i>&gt; these are still available in xsane under standard or advanced options!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; You can change the scanner brightness and contrast and do a new preview</i><br>
<i>&gt; scan and see the changes in the histogram.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I think about adding support for a preview scan with more than 8/24 bits/pixel,</i><br>
<i>&gt; but I am not sure if that really is necessary.</i><br>
<p>
Oh, I see, I didn't understand the significance of the standard and<br>
advanced options. I think there might be a way to integrate all of<br>
these controls into a unified whole. The use of the hardware's<br>
brightness and contrast to achieve a particular goal is preferable to<br>
the use of post processing. It would also be nice to get immediate<br>
feedback of the effect of changing the ``standard'' brightness and<br>
contrast controls, the way you do with the xsane controls. I suppose<br>
that you could do a some calibration, sampling an image at various<br>
settings and construct a function representing the scanner's response<br>
curve?<br>
<p>
Maybe when you stop manipulating the controls it could actually go out<br>
and get a new preview without being asked?<br>
