This 35mm SCSI film scanner is working fine under Linux-2.0.30/SANE-1.0 xscanimage but has a problem under scanimage, the command-line version. I'm using the coolscan-0.3 backend by Didier Carlier. At 2700 dpi resolution, the scan is completed but the scanner then hangs - I have to cycle the scanners's power in order to continue using it. I'd use xscanimage but it's so darn slooooooow with these 3500x2500x24 images (particularly processing the images with gimp - pnm tools are much faster if you don't need interactivity). At 1350 dpi and less, scanimage works just fine. Does anyone have a fix for scanimage/coolscan? Alternatively, a hack that would reset the scanner by software instead of cycling power? It can't be doing the thing any good to cycle power after every scan! Another problem - but easy to work around - is that the coolscan backend flips the image left-right (yes, the negative is in the right way, emulsion side down!). Easy to fix with pnmflip but does anyone have a patch? Cheers Bob -- Bob Hepple mailto:bhepple@bit.net.au http://www.finder.com.au
