Hello, the feeling of a grayscale-Image scanned by sane is like lineart. When I do the same scan with HP-Scan-Util in XP, then it is a good Grayscale-image with many details.
I've two examples of the same scan plus the differences in the histogram. In the histogram, the differences are evident. At the moment, the grayscale-images made by sane are not in good condition. Perhaps, there are some hidden settings to avoid a manipulation of the raw-data of the scanned image? Best Regards Stefan Kempf
