Bug Description
What is the format of the raw images stored in ram? When I perform a scan at 300ppi, my ram usage increases by ~30MB indicating that the raw file is approximately ~30MB. One method of extracting the raw file would be to extract the contents from ram which may be a quite complicated procedure and then analysing them to obtain the RAW image. Is there any simpler method of obtaining the raw data? Could you provide some more information in regard to the aforementioned? I would appreciate if you upload a sample raw image (and name a program that can work with it [e.g. Gimp?] [optional] ).
I submit this a bug/request because if the raw image format is not one of the uncompressed image formats available for saving the scanned pages, then this request is to include the raw format as an option. The advantage of this is that saving time will be reduced appreciably.
