Good to hear that somebody already works as I would like to do.

I would like to know how to implement colour correction at all to sane. 
I get much better results from scans under windows in contrast to 
Linux. Since I do not have a Wiindows installation any longer I miss 
good quality scans under Linux. Under Windows I could go through a 
procedure scanning a reference slide.

Could you give hints or a description how to roceed to get colour 
correction in sane?

Feel free to send information to the list or as private message.
