[sane-devel] can not convert sane output

[jim.george@edify.com]

Henning,

I too use a Mustek 1200CP but see the same problems as Yoshi.

You may remember that I'm the person that appears to lose 1/4 of the
right-hand side of a scan when using Gimp, Xsane etc.?  When I try to use
scanimage (if it finishes) the result is an incomplete file (as reported by
gimp).

Regards,

Jim

I can't reproduce any of these xases. However, I'm using a Mustek
scanner. 

Can you put these two pnm files somewhere on a web or FTP server or
send them to me personally (not the list!) if they are smaller than 4
MB. Maybe it's possible to see, if there is a problem.

Maybe a problem with the epson backend? In principle, the pnm output
of scanimage is ok.

I don't know if this helps, but scanimage can also produce tiff
images. If you can use GUI programs: XSane can produce jpeg files
directly.

I don't know if it's good:  convert (from ImageMagick).

Bye,
