Hi all, after some research I can see that this can be similar problem to this one reported long time ago : http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/O5zM9Q3LfrJPmrlJxC1J Does anybody have idea how this can be resolved ? How autoexposure/enhancement can be set-up to be correct and resemble to what iscan is doing ? Can this be used : http://www.xsane.org/doc/sane-xsane-setup-enhancement-doc.html or these setting should be used only for lineart (i.e. commic scans) and not for film negative scans ? Thanks for any hints ! Best regards, Drasko
