gamma4scanimage(1)	  SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	      gamma4scanimage(1)

NAME
     gamma4scanimage - create a gamma table for scanimage

SYNOPSIS
     gamma4scanimage gamma [shadow [highlight [maxin [maxout]]]]

DESCRIPTION
     The  tool	gamma4scanimage  creates a gamma table in the format expected by
     scanimage. You can define a gamma, a shadow and a highlight value. You also
     can specify the size (maxin) and maximum output value (maxout) of the gamma
     table.

     gamma is a floating point value, neutral value being 1.0. If the  value  is
     larger than 1.0 then the image is brighter.

     shadow  defines the minimum input value that is necessary to create an out-
     put value larger than zero.  shadow has to be in the range [0..maxin].  Its
     default value is 0.

     highlight defines the maximum input value that  produces  an  output  value
     smaller  than maxout.  highlight must be in the range [0..maxin] and larger
     than shadow. Its default value is the same as maxin (16383 if not set).

     maxin defines the size of the gamma table. The size depends  on  the  scan-
     ner/backend.   If the scanner uses 8 bit gamma input then maxin must be set
     to 255, 1023 for 10 bits, 4095 for 12 bits, and 16383 for 14 bits. The  de-
     fault  is 16383.  To find out what value maxin has to be, call scanimage(1)
     with a very large gamma table [0]0-[99999]255 and scanimage(1)  will  print
     an error message with the needed gamma table size.

     maxout defines the maximum output value. Take a look at the output of scan-
     image -h to find out what maxout must be. The default value is 255.

EXAMPLE
     scanimage	--custom-gamma=yes  --gamma-table  `gamma4scanimage  1.8 0 11500
     16383 255` >image.pnm
