[sane-devel] Questions on dust-removal and infrared support on Nikon

Coolscan2 has a different way of transferring the IR image to the
frontend. Read the sane-coolscan manpage for more information. Note
that the R channel correction done by the coolscan backend is not
available in coolscan2 (because it doesn't make sense to do it in the
backend). I suggest you code that into the GIMP plugin.

No, but there are plans for a meta-backend, but for the moment the
only dust-removal code is in duster.c in Coolscan2 CVS on
SourceForge. Please give it a try if you feel like hacking a bit.
