<EM>&gt; &gt; This information is very useful. Do you think we should include it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; in the snapscan.desc file somehow?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I will put it on the web page when it will be ~complete. Some people
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; reported other scanners (by mail to me not to the mailing-list). I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; don't have a report for all the models, but at least those that have
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; been reported seem to work.
</EM><BR>
<P>It might be better to do this now. It might encourage people to provide the
<BR>
information to fill in the holes.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; &gt; Its described as 48-bits on the box but I downloaded the specs for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the scanner chip it uses and it says something about 14 bits only.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I'll get back to you on this stuff. It may be more useful to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; describe the scanners dpi not by model names but the actual optical
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; chip used.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I though there were only 300dpi and 600dpi. Are there really
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; resolutions higher than 600dpi or is it just some kind of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; interpolation?
</EM><BR>
<P>Most of the 300dpi scanner have an actual optiocal resoltionof 300dpi in
<BR>
width and 600dpi in length. The 600dpi scanners are actually 600dpi in
<BR>
width x 1200 dpi in length. That asymmetric resolution is common to every
<BR>
model I know of. Running a 600x1200 scanner as 1200x1200 is quite
<BR>
meaningful. Beyong that its mostly blur!
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I was pretty sure that I could group all scanners in 3 categories to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; simplify the code, and then I realized, that on top of resolution, bus
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and protocol differences, there was a difference between bits per
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; color.
</EM><BR>
<P>Although the bits per colour varies, the current snapscan software always
<BR>
reads 8 bits per pixel for full colour scans. The rest are absolbed in
<BR>
gamma correction. The actual scanning process is almost oblivious to the
<BR>
number of bits.
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
