<P>
I must admit that I am not familiar with the internals of the light-receiving
<BR>
part of a modern scanner. In principle there has to be an analogue/digital
<BR>
converter somewhere, and in principle such a device can or should have
<BR>
adjustable zero setting and sensitivity. Hence it makes sense to transmit
<BR>
a brightness and a contrast setting to a scanner.
<BR>
<P>But it does not seem practical to equip an ADC with 256 controls!
<BR>
If your scanner does not respond to the standard brightness and
<BR>
contrast controls, then the ADC is probably using fixed settings,
<BR>
and all picture manipulations are done after digitizing. Then, of
<BR>
course, you can do the manipulations just as well in the computer.
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
