I've got an Epson Stylus SX435W all in one. It's working with Image Scan! for Linux 2.30.4, but is not being detected by Epson Scan 2. I've checked everything I can find, it just looks like my scanner is too old for the software.
Simple Scan seems to be too simple, but I don't want to have to launch something like GIMP and manually tweak everything.
I ideally want something with a built in colour enhancement tool like the Epson Windows software, and something that will remember the directory and name of the scan e.g. if I set it to ~/Pictures/Scans/Scan001.jpg, the next scan will automatically be ~/Pictures/Scans/Scan002.jpg etc. Descreening and Backlight Correction are both tools that I use fairly regularly too, as I mostly scan old photos. There's a screenshot of the Windows Epson software on this page if it helps:
Does anyone know of anything that might be a good alternative please?
EDIT: I'm just trying out XSane now. XSane and Image Scan! both give a slight colour cast, purple on this particular photo, but XSane seems to have more control over the settings.
I'm currently avoiding VueScan due to the price. While it does look like it's great software, I can't currently justify paying £50 when I've already got working software under Windows.
Thanks, I'm trying it now :)
It's very close to what I need, but I can't quite get the colours right. I'm trying to figure out whether that's down to the software, or whether I just need a bit more practice. I'm poking around the settings to see what happens :D
