[sane-devel] Canon CanoScan LiDE 120

2017-12-27 Thread Andy Goss
openSUSE LEAP 42.3 - scanner not detected.

Following advice on the openSUSE forum I have built sane version 1.0.27 via 

git clone git://git.debian.org/sane/sane-backends.git

But:

Although http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON shows

CanoScan LiDE 120   USB 0x04a9/0x190e   CompleteGL124+ based, 
resolution from 75 to 2400 dpi  genesys (1.0-63)sane-genesys

and http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-GENESYS shows

CanoScan LiDE 120   USB 0x04a9/0x190e   CompleteGL124+ based, 
resolution from 75 to 2400 dpi

file:///usr/share/doc/packages/sane-backends/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON does not 
include the LiDE 120

sudo sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x190e [CanoScan], 
chip=GL848+) at libusb:002:003

which mentions a different chip

sudo scanimage -L finds only my MS webcam.

I Set up a "scanner" group, as advised in various places.

Created 82-canon_lide120.rules -

# Canon LiDE 120
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="190e", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes", 
GROUP="scanner", MODE="0666"

VueScan now detects the scanner but the image generated is blank. 190e does a 
pass of the document but the green light is not on.

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf contains:
 
# Canon LiDE 120
usb 0x04a9 0x190e

Installed: sane-backends 1.0.24-6.22

xsane recognises sane version 1.0.27 but not the scanner, just the MS webcam.

I am out of my depth here. Can I sort this out myself or do I wait for sane to 
catch up with its own documentation?

yes, that's to be expected.

Happened to all of my slides too. I used gimp to normalize colors and
had spectacular results.

I don't know if SANE has any color-correction build in.

Hmm, 0x01 is the right value. Send me the full log via private mail.

2017-12-27 Thread Julian Hauser

Hello,

I created medium profiles in xsane to get the colours right for various 
negative films (on my Reflecta 10T). I guess the same should work for slide 
film too.

The process is a bit fickle and takes a while, but once the profile is created 
it works without any problems: 
http://www.xsane.org/doc/sane-xsane-medium-definition-doc.html

I didn't bother creating a scanner profile because, at least for negatives, the 
corrections are going to be different for every brand/line of film anyway.

Best,
Julian

Done.  Can now run it as a mortal user.

The next problem to solve is to find a suitable ICM file for this
scanner.  Colors are still too dark and incorrect

Another thing I have not found out yet is how to make use the slide

Some of the SANE frontends can attach an ICM profile to an image
during the scanning process.  This will allow for a fairly automatic
correction during display, and GIMP can automatically transform the
colors to a standard color-space when it loads the image if you wish.

The DigitDia 5000 may have originally been sold with an individual
profile based on an IT8 target image on a Kodak slide.  If this file isn't
available, or of you want to scan slide made on a different brand or
type of transparency, you will need to make a custom profile by
scanning a reference target.  Argyll CMS can process the resulting scan,
using the target reference data provided by the maker of the target, and
create a good profile for that individual scanner when used with that
particular type of transparency film.

A similar process can be done for reflective (e.g. flatbed) scanners.

http://www.targets.coloraid.de is one possible source for targets.

This process takes a bit of time and money but it's well worth doing.
