Hi Karsten,
Congratulations, you succeeded! At 1bit lineart, 8bit gray and 24bit color
depths, and at all the resolutions I tested (72dpi, 100dpi, 150dpi,
300dpi, 600dpi), everything works fine for my Phantom 636cx! What a
pleasure to be able to scan from under Linux, without having to use Wine
or to repair the pictures manually! So, you've done a great job!
I am wondering, how could I help you for the 12bit gray and 36bit color
modes my scanner is capable of. For the moment, I did not succeed getting
a 16bit-per-channel capable program to work under Wine. For sure,
Photoshop could do the trick, or maybe even the Scan Suite shipped with
the scanner, but I do not have the first and can not operate (yet?) the
second. Moreover, I do not know if it is possible to write 12bit/channel
support without the logs, by analogy to the shading implemented for
8bit/channel. But if you are aware of such a program besides the former
two, I would be glad to help you.
Again, thanks a lot for the big support you provide!
Nice greetings,
Levente
PS: It is maybe a good idea to include your newest backend into SANE CVS,
and list Microtek Phantom 636cx as fully supported for 8bit/channel and
lineart modes.
