Hello, I have chosen canoscan 9000f mark ii because I needed an affordable film scanner which is supported by sane.
Yesterday, I have built sane-backends from git and my scanner got recognized by xsane. I can scan in all three modes (flatbed, infrared, transparent). What I am interested in, whatever I do when scanning the film, the resulting picture is too bright. I don't think there are settings I did not notice, I feel like I have tried every possible settings combination. When I save that picture as png or tiff, I can get normal picture in gimp, by applying Color - Levels - auto levels. Only after that I can get good looking picture. Otherwise it's too bright, like very overexposed. Is it normal? What can cause it? May it be that's because I did not use git version of xsane? (only sane-backends are built from git) I loose quality if I get overexposed picture from xsane, and then apply auto levels in gimp, right? Thank you! Norayr
