Hi,
I did some work at the microtek2 backend to get my Phantom330CX
supported. I also corrected compiler warnings and eliminated
fprintf(stderr, ...) calls. The backend works with my Scanner (not
perfectly but quite well), but I'm not sure if my modifications work
with other scanner models. I also think my code needs to be checked
because this is my first exercise in C-programming.
I will keep working but it's difficult because I get no technical input
from Microtek, only old specs from 1997.
The main problem I deal with is the calibration and shading compensation
(the scanner has no internal compensation, this has to be done by the
backend).
In addition I want to remove (model-dependent) some option sliders
(contrast, brightness, shadow, midtone, highlights) that are not
supported by the scanner hardware. I think it is senseless to implement
this functions in the backend by additional code, let GIMP do this much
better ...? Can somebody give me a hint how to control the appearance of
the sliders?
I think I will do some modifications to the code in the next weeks. What
do you think, should I provide my actual code for testing? And where I
should send the code to (I didn't create a homepage until now, lazy
lazy...)?
Greetings
Karsten Festag
