[sane-devel] Frontend for film scanners

 I was thinking about about creating a shiny SANE frontend for professional 
 digital imaging workflow for Linux for some time already.

If you really plan to write such a program, I would like to offer my
help in any way (testing, development, documentation, translation, ...)

Bye,
Giuseppe



[sane-devel] canonscan 4200F

2007-01-15 Thread macal
Hello,

I've got a scanner Canonscan 4200F, but since I'm using ubuntu I cannot used it.

I'm not a developper, but I'm ready to help to try some codes or to make some 
tests.

Regards.

[sane-devel] [announce] tiffscan

2007-01-15 Thread Alessandro Zummo


 Hello,

   I'm finishing to write a new command line frontend, tiffscan. 
 
 It aims to be a simple frontend to SANE with batch
 scan capabilities. 

  Its only output format is TIFF, in both single page
 and multi page mode. It will correctly fill most TIFF
 tags and supports lossless compression modes.

  It will also support RGBI (RGB+infrared) capable
 backends (none at the moment, but I'm hacking coolscan2)
 so that you can easily batch scan slides and then use
 some other postprocessing tool (like VueScan) to
 refine them.

  If someone is interested in betatesting, pease drop me a note.

[sane-devel] calibration / icm / it8 and colors problems

2007-01-15 Thread Philippe Dumont
 Did you try this sequence:
 convert filename.png -profile scanner.icc -profile monitor.icc new
 filename.png
 

 CNZ005.ICC is the wrong profile. CNS12I.ICC is for your scanner.
 But you need the same brightness, contrast, gamma, ... settings as the
 windows driver before applying the profile.
 You'll get better results if you create your own profile in Linux.


Thanks for your answers ! With the good profile and with this command 
line, the scanned picture is better but it is still far from being perfect.
I think I will follow your advice and I will buy a IT8.7 scanner 
calibration targets. I have found some on this website 
http://www.targets.coloraid.de/
Promise, I will post the result of my calibration:)

 I seems to be the good solution according to the paper I have read.
 Is it a problem of icc profile, or a problem in sane ?

 Best regards

 You need a viewer that knows how to deal with embedded ICC profiles.

 If want it to work in all viewers, you need to convert the image to your
 destination colorspace (you want sRGB):

 scanimage -i cnz005.icc --resolution 600  image.tiff
 AND
 convert -profile sRGB.icc image.tiff after.tiff

One program to make profiles is the lprof package
http://lprof.sourceforge.net/

Also the lprof package is placed in some distributions (at least Debian)
