Hello Henning, In your previous message you said:-
>Scanner - Epson Perfection 1250. Do you use the plustek or >Epson Kowa backend? I am using the plustek backend. >What's the difference between you xsane and xscanimage installations? >Did you install one of them from source and the other from RPM? If xscanimage is part of sane-frontends-1.0.10.tar.gz then they were both installed from source. >Check the "/usr/local/lib" is in /etc/ld.so.conf. It was not. The reference was to "/usr/lib". I changed it to "/usr/local/lib". I invoked xscanimage. I got the same error message...xscanimage: error while loading shared libraries: libsane.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. >What happens if you don't use XSane's automatic film setting >but set up the colors manually? I.e. use the invert button and >change the gamma/brightness for the colors so the image looks >correctly? I'm trying to find out if it's a xsane or backend >problem. I'm not sure I understood your instruction, but here is what I did. I set it to negative (document source), Fuji negative (source medium type) and prescanned. The prescan came out pretty close to real life. I then manually adjusted the gamma etc. to make the preview look as close as possible to real life. When I final scanned I got a very different scan from the preview (saturated, extreme reds etc.) but subsequent scans were identical. This is a change. I then set it to transparency, full color range, reverse and prescanned. The resulting pre-scan was too washed out to be adjustable. This makes sense as transparencies are always darker than negatives. I know nothing about scanning software but I find it significant that if I prescan several times without touching any other buttons etc. I get scans of different colors different contrast etc. >> Would a screen shot of the scan results be of any help? >Put it on a web page and send a link to sane-devel. Sorry, I don't have a parking spot for the images. Does any of this help?
