[sane-devel] xsane-0.87 released

[Rene Rebe]

Hi Henning.

Speaking about the preview feature of xsane ... - for color scans
xsane does a scan with gamma=1 and creates a software preview when the
user modifes the gamma value. But for my avision backend the scanned
images are not as light as they are in the xsane preview. Although the
scan looks reasonable for the gamma value.

So is the software simulation much too light (because of the loss of
precision) or are the Avision scanners interpreting the values in a
different way I think, and so the scanned images are just too dark for
the gamma-table I send?

Thanks for comments ;-)
