Hi,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was hoping someone could help me out a bit. I have a Microtek2 X6EL
<BR>
scanner that I bought a couple months ago. When I use it with the SANE
<BR>
drivers in Linux to scan an image, the image appears to remain at 72dpi
<BR>
even if I scan an image in at 300dpi (set on XSane). The image size
<BR>
does get bigger on the screen. I copied the image into my windows
<BR>
partition and used photoshop to print out the image ( I was doing some
<BR>
comparisons between the windows drivers and Linux drivers for both my
<BR>
printer and scanner). Photoshop says the printing resolution is 72dpi
<BR>
and ImageMagick says that the resolution is 72dpi.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have used xscanimage and xsane as standalone programs to scan and
<BR>
save the image in a particular format (ie jpeg). I have also used them
<BR>
as plugins to GIMP to scan the image then save them in a particular
<BR>
format. Either way will yield the same results. I have the feeling
<BR>
that this resolution issue is due to SANE and/or the microtek2 backend
<BR>
and how the image data is presented. I would really appreciate some
<BR>
insight to this. I am not really very knowledgable when it comes to
<BR>
this type of stuff, and would like some help understanding it. Maybe I
<BR>
am misunderstanding something. I really enjoy using Linux to do my
<BR>
daily activities and prefer not to boot into Win98 just to scan or print
<BR>
an image. I do realize that the microtek2 backend is still considered
<BR>
alpha. Please help me with any info possible. You may email me
<BR>
personally to avoid wasting bandwidth on this one if you so choose.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIA,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brandon Kolbe
<BR>
