Oliver, I tried it with XSane 0.19 and Gimp on my Astra 610S. The "calculate average <br>
and invert" not only works but it works quite well! Thank you. I played with it a fair <br>
bit this afternoon and had no problems.<br>
<p>
A couple of suggestions about XSane:<br>
<p>
1) Rather than just having one printer command in Copy mode, I would like to have 3 <br>
radio buttons, labelled "Draft", "Good" and "Best" with individual printer commands <br>
assignable to each. I have an Epson Stylus Colour II inkjet printer set up with <br>
GhostScript with different print queues for different output quality. I don't need 720 x <br>
720 dpi resolution for photocopying a page of text where 180 x 180 monochrome is <br>
ample (i.e. draft mode) but would like to have 720 x 720 CMYK available for <br>
photocopying some beautifully coloured fractals! <br>
<p>
2) In copy mode, Xsane will not work if the filename in the entry box in scan mode is <br>
non-existant or invalid. A small point but why should it matter in copy mode?<br>
<p>
3) I don't know if this next one is possible in Xsane. In Copy mode, I would like the <br>
ability to specify the image position on the print page if the zoom factor is &lt; 100%. <br>
Right now, it simply centres the image on the page.<br>
<p>
4) The availablity of the histogram, coupled with the ability to adjust levels from the <br>
histogram is marvellous. Thank you, it is a significant enhancement to the <br>
functionality of Sane. But the custom gamma table (or curve tools) in xscanimage is <br>
also very powerful. Could you add that code from xscanimage to XSane and make the <br>
best of both worlds available?<br>
<p>
5) When adjusting the scanning parameters using the Histogram or custom gamma <br>
table, could you add a second image to the scan preview? One showing the current <br>
preview image before adjustment with the second showing the preview effects of the <br>
Histogram/gamma table adjustment for direct comparison.<br>
<p>
6) Should you ever come over here, to British Columbia on the wet coast of Canada, <br>
please let me know. I want to buy you a few beers! :-)<br>
<p>
<p>
Cheers,<br>
Rob<br>
