Hi Oliver, Thanks, that helped...
I just did not know about the feature of switching of the automatic gamma-adjustment, though I should have known... my fault >>You don`t need to do anything with the gamma value in xsane. >>Disable the automatic gamma selection in the preferences/setup >>enhancement tab and select the gamma value 1.6 in the xsane main window >>and store it as device preferences. You never need to touch it again >>when you want it always to be 1.6 >> >> >> >> This made the ends meet. XSane - from my poimt of view - does it exactly right (which you told me before). Thank you, and keep up your great work Ullrich
