That's an interesting application. However, you still haven't told us, which scanner or backend you are using. Without this information, nobody is able to help you because the options are dependant on the backend. E.g. if you used the gt68xx backend, I could try to change it to support different resolutions. By the way: Not all scanners provide the option to set X/Y-resolution independly. And even if they can do splitted resolution, the hardware resolution is often set up in steps, e.g. 50, 100, 150 dpi etc. So a slightly lower dpi won't be faster. So even if the backend provides this option, the scaling may be done in software. Maybe it's easier for you to use a filter like ImageMagick's convert so you only need to set up a shell script once instead of manually setting up with Gimp every time. Bye, Henning
