[sane-devel] Bad quality image problem

[Rodolfo Medina]

Hi.

When I scan a photo with:

 $ scanimage --mode Color > photo.pnm

, it comes out striped and faded, and I get the output:

 [gt68xx] gt68xx_afe_cis_auto: setting exposure reached limit

. Can anyone suggest a possible solution?
It's an USB Boeder SmartScan on Debian Sarge.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Rodolfo
