Hi, I have a brand new[*] Nikon CoolScan III (aka LS 30) I re-built and installed sane from the source, using sane-backends-1.0.7-cvs-2002-05-02 and sane-frontends-1.0.7-cvs-2002-05-02 on my Linux PPC system. I started xsane 0.84. The scanner gets recognized by both coolscan and coolscan2. Scanning do work flawessly, but I get really disappointing scans: -from negative film, color is really weird. This is the positive image, but they really don't match. I selected "Kodak negative" as media type. -from black and white negative, picture is really dark, and really grainy, and no that is not the film grain. I selected "Slide" and told to invert after scanning, because I don't have B&W negative type. -from slide film, I still get grainy pictures (even though I'm scanning Provia or Velvia slide, both really common and one of the most fine grained films). I selected "Slide" as media type. In the three cases, the contrast is excessive. This is even more visible on slides taken by real sunny day. So my question is: Is it a known issue ? If yes, what can I do to help resolve the problems ? I can do whatever you want including debugging, coding and taking pictures :-)) I'd really like to use my coolscan with SANE. Hub [*] I now this is the old model. That was a real bargain :-) given its quality. --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE82FtyX+4F5qVuFaMRAjIKAKDMkmJw2nAk/xkBCcZ/RjQiyiw52gCdEnn6 EOlguHY6lX4rgs9t3ATjK6E= =D1Tz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk--
