[Wolves] OT: Camera negative processing.

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Hi,

Besides the drivers from the free software "sane" project
(http://www.sane-project.org/, which we use for one of our scanners, a
very old flatbed one): we've used VueScanner software
(https://www.hamrick.com/) for a PlusTek 8200i which which should have
negative support.

VueScanner is commercial software but the list of scanners is huge and
it worked for us (sane project didn't have support for PlusTek 8200i
when we used it).
