Hi all; The artifact is still there, but I have a more pressing problem, I've forgotten the location of the focus variable, at 600 dpi, I'm seriously out of registration.
Humm, might have found it, the comment says "sensor distance" & 16 is way too high for my scanner, so I'm rebuilding it at 8. Is that the right setting for your's Reinhart? In which case we have a pretty serious production tolerances problem with this beast... Humm, finished the scan at 600 dpi ok, small piece of the original, then segfaulted without showing it to me. And thats all it says in the shell when it returned. But I didn't acquire a preview first, just sent it to do that same scan again. Restart, do preview, get segfault at end of forward scan. I sure wish this thing would make up it mind. Restart from icon, save prefs (again) first, preview works. Restore teeny size & do 600 dpi. Worked, and the registration is now spot on. White line artifact still there. I don't think this is quite "Ready for prime time" :-( We still have that white vertical line artifact, and the segfault at the end of the scan seems to be somewhat of a coin toss. Phase of the moon, odd/even minute, whatever. Suggestion/feature request: Can this thing get a focus adjustment made available in the gui, and saved in the prefs? We no doubt have some users who aren't quite comfortable shuffling around in the source code with vi just to get the proper focus/registration for their individual scanner, and obviously from this, hard coding it isn't going to be optimum for everybody. Mine was pretty bad when set for 16, but I remembered 8 was pretty good from previous testing, and it still is. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.21% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
