Re: [newbie] EPSOM PERFECTION 2400 PHOTO

[John Richard Smith]

I've been using both all afternoon on colour transparencies and quite honestly both do
it quite well so far. Not only that but using gimp I have managed in some cases to resore
quite a large amount of the mising colour for my old transparencies, where the years have
faded the red and the yellow.

For my Epson 2450 photo xsane couldn't digitalize the slides (they appears dirty) but iscan does it very well.

the 9.0 distro, so you don't need to do anything more.

That explains it, I thought the sane windows had changed a bit since I
last installed scanner software.




LATER,

I think not , it looks quite different now I've got it on,
and the layout is different. It works quite well.

Nice to know there is a second choice.

So does it look a s though the distro driver is a cut down version? Is it
worth installing direct from the website? What are the improvements?

Anne

I've had it on all of an hour or so , Functionally , it's similar, but
not the same,
I would recommend it, so far, worth having a second string to your bow, you
never know if one Mandrake issue may have a broken xsane. Yes take a look
at it . I downloaded all the versions including the tar ball version but
elected to install
the rpm version, it went on like a piece of cake. I had to make a kstart
menu entry
for /usr/bin/iscan.

Having said all this I like xsane.
