Sounds interesting, but have a look at the image in the archive (linked
to in my original post below), named "white.jpg". It's what comes out
when I scan a blank sheet of paper. There's really no telling where the
white point is, because it is different for /every pixel/ on a scan
line. Hence, my program stores a file called "white.shape" to store the
average waveform of scale factors for each RGB component that need to be
multiplied with the scanner data to produce white.
