            Bug ID: 461359
           Summary: black-and-white / monochrome mode missing
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Skanpage
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

I build skanpage from git, version is “skanpage 22.11.70”
( 22.11.70 is not in the version-list on bugs.kde.org)

The tools misses a option for creating black and white (2-color/monochrom)
scans. This saves a lot of disk-space and is sufficient for most non-colored
document. There are scanner that do not support monochrom output and sane has
the policy to not add functionality in the backends, but leave this for
frontends. So providing a monochrom option in skanpage is the  correct place.

In my example, I got for a 1-page A4 pdf:

skanpage grayscale: 9,1M
black-and-white converted: 232K

At first attempt a simple threshold at 50% would be O.K.
