Hi, I am trying to use sane with a Canon Lide 25 USB scanner. sane-find-scanner correctly detects the scanner, but scanimage -L does not (it says that no scanners were identified). I am using sane 1.0.18 with cygwin and libusb-win32 on windows xp.
Any ideas on how to proceed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Guy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'd prefer to standardise on one program simply because it's a fairly complex area and the fewer different interfaces I have to learn the better. So my choices are:- vuescan - not using sane but it is well rcommended xsane xscanimage iscan My main use (at least the one where I need to know the interface well) is scanning quite a number of old slides, a mix of 35mm and 4.5 x 4.5. Some of these are quite badly faded and have colour casts so tools to deal with this are required. I've played with all the above programs a little and my reactions so far are:- iscan and xscanimage seem not to have all the tools I need to manipulate the faded slides. So, unless I'm missing something, I think I can ignore these two. xsane seems to offer a lot of control but doesn't seem to be quite as clever as vuescan at 'guessing' right to give you a reasonable start. On the other hand vuescan has a rather unconventional interface and I found it diffcult to apply the scanning tips from the http://www.scantips.com/ site which were quite easy with xsane. Also would I find it easier to use (say) the Gimp for the corrections using the scanner front end purely for getting as much information as possible from the slides? I'd prefer not to do this as it adds another 'layer' of learning but if it's the right way to go then it's the right way to go. So can anyone offer any comments (particularly any experience of this type of work) on the best way of handling this? -- Chris Green (ch...@halon.org.uk)
