ufraw and dcraw will handle that conversion.

Hello,
I have been trying to get a device running for a few weeks now. After
failing to build a backend I decided to hack together my own LibUSB
driver for my unsupported A8 scanner, given my use case is pretty
simple I went in with a "how hard can it be?" attitude.
Great success so far. Hasn't been easy but it hasn't been really that
bad. I have managed to ask my tiny A8 feed scanner to scan a 300dpi
colour image. I have been able to save the data to a file (about 8mb
worth) but that's where the fun ends.
Can't seem to figure out how to get that raw data into a usable
format. 2 questions:
1. What format is that raw data likely to be? I naively expected it to
be png.
2. Does SANE have some code that handles that sort of conversion I
could have a look at? Looked around the internet and the SANE docs.
Read some things about frames, but couldn't find much else.
THANK YOU!
Daniel
