[SOLVED] Xsane scanning problem

[alienexplorers]

I have a Microtek 4800 scanner which I just got working. I now have a problem with the scanned pictures. All pictures I scan have a yellow tint to them that I can not get rid of. I have tried adjusting gamma, brightness, and contrast with no change. I have included a picture to show what I am talking about. Any help in getting rid of this problem would be appreciated.

Not sure but you might try one of the following from the repositories and see if you can get a handle on this. Heres a list of relevant software I saw with a quick glance through the repos.


Gnome scan utility

on Gnome Scan Infrastructure. It allow to select scanner, select
document sources, preview, rotate and save to various format
(including PDF). Further functionalities are planned such as mass
acquisition, multipage PDF, etc.


scanner program for KDE
Kooka is an open source GNU/Linux scan program based on SANE and
KScan library.

correct image file format to save and manage your scanned images. It
offers support for different OCR modules. Libkscan, a autonomous part
of Kooka, provides a scan service for easy and consistent use to all
KDE applications.


Hardware Color Profiler
.
LPROF is a color profiler that creates ICC compliant profiles for devices
such as cameras, scanners, and monitors. These profiles provide color
consistency across devices. They can be used in color profile-aware software
such as The Gimp and Scribus. For an example of creating a profile that can
be used with Scribus see

Hope this helps you out, My scanner is just a brick in Ubuntu

Thanks nicedude.

After endless trouble with the Xsane Image Scanner, I tried Kooka - just click and go. Worked perfectly with my Canon MP600 PIXMA.

I'm having the same problem only my pictures turned out purple and yours turned out yellow. How did you fix it. I used kooka and it gave me the same results. I'm really disappointed.

When I had a color problem in xsane, I clicked on the button on the xsane control panel that had a big, funny-looking "R" on it, resetting everything I had tinkered with to default values. Installing GOCR had thrown everything WAY off...

What driver are you using? Is this under Hardy or Intrepid?

Thanks

[alienexplorers]

I am using driver 1.1.0 under 8.10 Ibex. It's working fine now.

[shane19174]

I am using driver 1.1.0 under 8.10 Ibex.

Thanks, I'll try it.
Oh, by the way, has 1.1.0 been released, or is this CVS?

Thanks again
