    Thanks for your reply -that's interesting. I've used the 4-5 latest xsane
    releases and I've had the same problem with all of them. Maybe I could try a
    really old version and see if that makes any difference.

    I've tried scanning mostly b/w negs, 35 mm & 6x6. The "Autoadjust gamma ..."
    button is very useful, but I usually have to some manual adjustments as well.
    Maximum resolution is a must as well!
    This doesn't bother me at all - it's a piece of cake compared to working in a
    conventional darkroom!;-)

    I've used three different scsi adapters: IOI-4203U (Initio chipset, PCI, with
    bios), Adaptec 1505 ISA (this one should work according to both
    support.umax.co.uk and sane docs) and the DOMEX card that's delivered with the
    scanner. Same problems with all of them.
