Scanner interfaces follow (seen over all available scanning applications) currently two paradigm:
a) Give access to all possibilities the scanner offers and do lot's of postprocessing when necessary ( Silverfast is here the best applicationto mention), ideally no external application is needed to give desired results in best available quality. b) Show only a reduced subset of the possibilities to simplify scanning as much as possible (e.g. HP Twain is a horrible example for that). Ideally no external application is needed, as long as you use the scans only in the simplified use-scenarios. (Saving as PDF, Print, Mail ...). As you can see in both cases the possibilities are not limited by the scanner itself. It's a decision of developers (and in some cases) of users demand. Currently no (I mean this serious) scanning application available on Linux can fullfill a) or b). Simple-Scan is on a good road to b), but lacks some features. -- "Text" scan is in black-and-white, not greyscale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
