Am attempting to use a Plustek 7200i scanner connected via USB using
xsane (0.999) frontend.
Versions:
Linux Mint version: Linux Carbon 6.8.0-57-generic #59~22.04.1-Ubuntu

'genesys:libusb:001:010' is a PLUSTEK OpticFilm 7200i flatbed scanner
Am attempting to scan 35mm slides, with xsane source set as
"Transparency adapter" and medium as "Slide".
xsane detects the Plustek scanner just fine, and completes scans happily
too.
However, with default / installation settings, the scanned images appear
to be clear in resolution but are _much_ too dark.
Playing with xsane settings (brightness / gamma etc) mitigates this a
little but not much. Behaviour is consistent regardless of resolution of
scan.
Doesn't appear to be a simple hardware fault, as (the preview version
of) Vuescan does not have the same issue.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Could it be a calibration issue??
Thanks!
