<p>
This is normal behaviour for this scanner, it also happens with the <br>
HP windows software. Vuescan doesn't do a second pass over the slide<br>
(or strip) as it scans everything at once - perhaps that's why you<br>
haven't noticed this particular behaviour before. The stupidity seems<br>
to be internal to the scanner.<br>
<br>
<i>&gt; Also, my test slide is a fairly typical scene, albeit without any sky </i><br>
<i>&gt; showing. I find that the default straight gamma curve results in a very </i><br>
<i>&gt; dark image--to fix it with gimp's levels tool, I need to set the white </i><br>
<i>&gt; point to 153 (out of 255) and the gamma to about 2.50. Of course, the </i><br>
<i>&gt; image gets reduced to something like 5 bits of precision after that kind </i><br>
<i>&gt; of rough treatment. Does this mean the R032 is going to require a </i><br>
<i>&gt; downloaded tone map just to produce a decent image?</i><br>
<p>
For dark slides, increase the Exposure Time to for example 300% and<br>
apply a gamma of 2.2 if you have a PC monitor.<br>
<p>
About tonemaps, I feel it is better to do this in software (on the<br>
frontend side) instead of implementing it for every backend.<br>
Adding some intelligence or densitometric data to the frontend will<br>
benefit all scanners and not just the Photosmart.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Last night, I tried looking at a log file produced by VueSmart. I put </i><br>
<i>&gt; some up at the following URLs:</i><br>
<p>
I don't know of any interesting SCL options that this scanner could<br>
still have and that's not incorporated into the newest backend<br>
already. What is it that you are looking for in the vuesmart logs that<br>
you like to have?<br>
