[Gllug] OT: Scanners

[will]

Hi all,

I eventually went for the epson perfection 1650 USB.  I had to upgrade hotplug
to get the scanner recognised, but sane works with the scanner fine.  Thanks
Vince for the help in getting it all working :-)

Also, when using Xsane, does anyone know how to limit the dimensions of the
scanned image?  There is a dialog that shows the dimensions of the area being
scanned but the image that is produced is always massive.  The only way there
seems to be of altering the dimensions is to alter tbe DPI, so a 50 DPI scan is
smaller than the original whereas an 800 DPI scan is many times larger than my
screen.  I would have thought that the DPI settimg should only alter the quality
for a given dimension, not the dimension, or am I missing something here.

Will.
