hi, I'm trying to scan 16 bit gray images using scanimage with my epson 2450 but all I get out of it is a a page of snow with the hint of a pattern in it.
This is my command line: scanimage -d epson:/dev/usbscanner0 --focus-position 'Focus 2.5mm above glass' --source 'Transparency Unit' --film-type 'Negative Film' --brightness 0 -x 26mm -y 38mm -l 7mm -t 40.5mm --resolution 300 --mode Gray --depth 16 --format tiff > bw07.tiff you can see the image here (it looks the same as a tiff as it does as a jpeg) http://www.robsroom.fsnet.co.uk/temp/gray16.jpeg however scaning with xsane (with I believe the same options) everything works so I imagine it is a bug in scanimage. (every thing works in scanimage for 8 bit Gray and 16 bit Colour as far as I've tested) sane-backends 1.0.8 on debian sid thanks for your help -- rob
