Tried your latest patch Bernd, it seems to work -- that is, if
I enable the lightlid in the .conf file, the scanner light goes
out during scan. If I disable it again then the scanner behaves
normally.

I am very disappointed with my first results scanning 35mm
colour negatives. At 600 dpi I am getting results I
don't yet understand. The images seem very grainy and
"burned" even though these are the negs from perfectly good
photos.

If anyone has advice on colour balance, gamma correct, etc.
suitable for getting good results from negative filmstrip,
I would like to know. According to the lightlid-35 manual,
if you are using one of the PC scanner packages, you select
"negative material" from the "scanwizard" window. Are there
some settings on the scanner that get changed by this?

The image quality aside, though, the patch works. Thanks!
