Most scanners produce big-endian data, which scanimage writes out to disk when it creates the tiff. Any host-side tools that you use on the tiffs will probably convert them to little-endian, since that is the format of your CPU. If you attempt to rotate all of them (some of them by 360 degrees), su

I'm wondering why your converted image is in little-endian and the rest are big-endian. you might want to provide wich kind of computer you're using, whats the OS. and how did you install Imagemagick, as it seems that is the reason for the problem. Try using other programs to manipulate your imag

Using scanimage seems to produce faulty tiff files. When I then try to create a pdf out of those, the pdf isn't even readable (by xpdf). Here's the script output. Lines beginning with '+' are the commands which are run: --- $ scan + scanimage -x 215 -y 279 -l
