[sane-devel] Putting a scan into a tiff file

[Peter Kirchgessner]

Hi Joachim,

thank you for the test file. You are saving the TIFF-files with a 
JPEG-compression in xsane. At least xpaint is not capable of handling 
JPEG-compressed TIFF-files correctly.
As a workaround you can save the TIFF-files with another compression in 
xsane.

Sincerely

Peter
