[sane-devel] Affordable film scanner

[Ulrich Deiters]

Some recent film scanners appear not to have exposure controls.
As far as I know, the Canon FS2710S is such a case. But it scans
3x12 bits, and so it is OK to do the gamma correction in the backend
and then truncate to 3x8 bit.

I think this is just the modern trend in computer pheripherals: Build
them as simple as dumb as possible, and provide a fancy driver to 
compensate the faults.
