Hi, I'm sorry for annoying you again, but I can't solve the problem. I am using the command
scanimage -d umax:/dev/sgb --source Transparency Adapter --resolution 300dpi -l 30 -t 10 -x 175 -y 225 --depth 12 so I should obtain 12bit (in two byte) per channel per pixel. But this is a picture of bytes (two for one channel) that I obtain: 00001001 - 10100000 00001010 - 11110000 00001000 - 00100000 00001001 - 01100000 00001010 - 10010000 00001000 - 01100000 00001001 - 10000000 00001010 - 10110000 00001000 - 10000000 00001001 - 11100000 00001010 - 11010000 00001000 - 11000000 00001001 - 11100000 00001010 - 11110000 00001000 - 10010000 00001001 - 10100000 00001010 - 11010000 00001000 - 01100000 00001001 - 10100000 00001010 - 11000000 00001000 - 00110000 00001001 - 10000000 00001010 - 10000000 as you can see, they 8 bits values shifted of 4 bits. what happens? Am I doing something wrong?
