Following your discussion I think I am in a different (lower) league but as an end user, trying to get similar results as those I get from the HP scanning software under windows I very much recognise your issues which have troubled me since I started using Unbuntu last year. Today I hope I made some progress:
- I had gscan2pdf installed for a long time already but somehow it never satisfied my needs. Today however I got quite an acceptable color result (knowing a little bit more about jpg-compression than before). Perhaps worth a try and let me know your experience.
- QuiteInsane as far as I can see is a plugin for GIMP but has no pdf-capability (I only scan to pdf).
XSANE could be better but gscan2pdf is simpler and does what I need.
Hi guys,
