Paul D. Robertson &lt;<a href="mailto:proberts@clark.net">proberts@clark.net</a>&gt; said:<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Oliver once again stepped to my rescue and explained the </i><br>
<i>&gt; true gamma correction method for xscanimage, and after pressing the gamma </i><br>
<i>&gt; button and entering a value, things got much, much better. </i><br>
<p>
Could you write more about this? I've been scanning black and white<br>
negatives (Tri-X Pan, mostly) and found a curve setting that worked,<br>
but i did it by hand (using the straight-line tool at the bottom of<br>
the left-hand curve toolbar), not using a gamma number. I haven't had<br>
as good luck scanning color transparencies (Kodak EPD).<br>
<p>
I've been meaning to ask a question (to the list in general, not just<br>
you, Paul) about gamma -- does setting the gamma (either by number or<br>
by manually shaping the curve) affect the actual scanning operation?<br>
That is, does the gamma get downloaded to the scanner and used to<br>
shape the scanned samples, or is just something that's applied to the<br>
data once it comes back from the scanner?<br>
<p>
And while I'm at it, what's the `Highlight (%)' slider do?<br>
