Am attempting to use a Plustek 7200i scanner connected via USB
using xsane (0.999) frontend.

<p>Am attempting to scan 35mm slides, with xsane source set as
"Transparency adapter" and medium as "Slide". </p>
</div>
<p>xsane detects the Plustek scanner just fine, and completes
scans happily too. <br>
</p>
<p>However, with default / installation settings, the scanned
images appear to be clear in resolution but are <u>much</u>
too dark. </p>
<p>Playing with xsane settings (brightness / gamma etc)
mitigates this a little but not much. Behaviour is consistent
regardless of resolution of scan. <br>
</p>
<div class="content">Doesn't <span
style="text-decoration:underline">appear</span> to be a
simple hardware fault, as (the preview version of) Vuescan
does not have the same issue.</div>
<p>I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Could it be a
calibration issue??</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
