Simple scan is a nice quick easy to use scanner control appication
ubuntustudio ships with. I have used it since we added it and been happy
with it... till this past week. It seems to does a great job of scanning
high contrast/monchrome papers (ie. text). However, this past week I
needed to scan some colour stuff and the best I could get from simple scan
was greyscale. I checked all the menu items (preferences, etc.) Where I
could change from line to grey scale and set resolution, but there was no
way of turning colour scanning on.
While this is probably not a problem for most desktop use, we do ship a
Graphic Design workflow. I would suggest a more full featured scanning
application would make more sense.
In my case I installed xsane (I was in a hurry and I knew it would do what
I wanted). Are there other full featured scanning applications around? and
which is best?
It would be possible to include simple scan in Desktop and then add xsane
(or whatever) to both graphics and photography.
Please Note: This is 14.04 stuff. Nothing will change for 13.10 :)
