Re: Sane - Mustek scanner
The scsi card that came with your scanner may be like the one that came with mine. It's a stripped down card designed to provide service to that scanner. It may be that if you connect the scanner to a real scsi port, as I have with my scanner, it will work.

This means the mask is selected. Try clicking on the preview of the layer. The border should appear there. Now you can work on the image instead of the mask.

Anything else and the install wizard will get confused. :-) However, a SCSI controller is a SCSI controller, more or less. :-) There is no reason for the hardware not to work, as long as you use the correct SCSI commnd set (SCSI 1 or 2). I am not clear, but have you tried both scanners on the same SCSI controller (the adaptec), or do you have them on their seperate cards as provided by the manufacturers? If you have them working on the seperate controllers, then I expect you will need to add the appropriate Linux ISA SCSI driver, which is probably different from the PCI SCSI driver. First, however, I would put both scanners on the same SCSI bus (the Adaptec one), and see if Linux will find and run the scanner that way. The only (?) drawback is the Windoze software probably won't work in the configuration. Bruce

Re: Web logo problem - transparency/gradiant
Another trick is to proceed as you have started, with one layer for the background, then build up your bumpmapped logo in another few layers, and finally merge visible layers or flatten the image prior to saving it for your web page. That way you can wind up with a jpeg image (giving you enough colors) that looks like there's a transparent logo. HTH --Jeff
Re: Web logo problem - transparency/gradiant
You should be able to save as png which is readable by newer browsers. The only other way would be to use a 256 color gif (255+transparency). You could try to use a jpg and get pixel perfect alignment with the background to give the illusion of tranparency but that will not work as well as it might sound. --Ben - Original Message - From: John S.

Web logo problem - transparency/gradiant
I'm trying to design a webpage logo - for my own page, nothing professional. I know exactly what I want it to look like but I can't seem to get there from here. What I want to do is have a webpage background that is a gradient from light to dark (running from left to right). On top of that, I want to put the domain name, bump mapped, beveled and drop shadowed (I can do without the last, if necessary) and having a gradient that runs from dark to light. What I want to end up with is dark text on light background transitioning into light text on dark background. I can get the webpage background gradiant (very easy) and the logo on a transparent background (not quite as easy but I figured it out). What I can't do is put the two together. If I save the logo in a www-able format, I either lose the transparency (.jpg) or the color depth (.gif). Can anyone help me? Preferably using words of 1 syllable or less - definitely newbie level instructions required. Thanks, John -- Do not meddle in the affairs of Systems Administrators for they are subtle and quick to anger.
Sane - Mustek scanner
Hello there. I don't know, if my question is suitable for this forum - but here I go. I have a Photo-smart scanner (fro HP), attached to an Adaptec 2940AU SCSI-controller, and it works just great under GIMP/xsane. Then I have bought me an flatbed-scanner too, and I was told that it was a SCSI-scanner, though it had to use it's own controller (an ISA-thing) - it works under windoze, but the Linux/GIMP/xsane won't recognize it. In the sane-mustek.5 man pages, they state that " ncr810 based cards are known to work fine ..." I don't know much about SCSI, so I woud be happy to know, if others has experiences with that particular scanner and other types of controllers, or knows where to by such a card, because I have tried a lot of shops here in Copenhagen/Denmark with negativ result. If anyone knows, if it is a matter of termination/cable combination betwen the two scanners, that can solve my problem, then I really would apreciate that.
