[sane-devel] Avision scanimage & image quality

[Richard Reina]

Rene,
 
 Since dropping the "mode --Dithered" from my scanimage command the quality has improved somewhat.  However, when I print the document it does not look anywhere near as good as it did when viewed with $:display document.tiff.  Will optimize2bw help this?  Or do I have a printing quality issue?

 Thanks for the help thus far.
 
 Richard

All color tuning, including brightness, contrast and gamma also work in the
Dithered mode (in the Avision backend). Btw. Why do you use dithered at all?

If you want automatic thresholding you can scan in Gray (or Color) and use
optimize2bw from ExactImage:
