On my computer Skanlite supports the following image formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG (what's the difference with JPG?), BMP, PPM, XBM and XPM. I did some digging on Wikipedia, and it seems that none of these formats can actually hold an image with more than 8 bits per colour.
In my opinion any scanning application should at least support output to higher-bit TIFF files. PPM, XBM and XPM aren't used by any graphical designer or photographer, but TIFF is widely used. -- Higher-bit scans are reduced to 8 bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588231 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
