I have been using Sane for about two months now with a CanoScan LiDE 80 and getting great results. I have been wondering, however, about how best to enhance my images after scanning. They have been coming out fairly dark with no corrections. I have dealt with this in two ways. For scanning t

That sounds perfect! As for high volume, I don't need that high. If I had a good shot at scanning 20 pages at a time, I'd be willing to spend $300 to get that capability. Thanks for the steer. So, how does sane-epson handle document feeding? If I invoke scanimage, would it feed one page, sca

Can anyone recommend a scanner that works with sane and has a document feeder? Assuming there is such a scanner... I would like to be able to invoke scanimage so that it loads a new page, scans it, and exits. With that, it is a simple matter to write scripts to handle the naming of each separa
