Yes. You can run xscanimage, the front end to SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy), either as a GIMP extension or in stand-alone mode. This supports Mustek and HP flatbed scanners, as well as the Connectix color QuickCam camera.

The "GNU Image Manipulation Program" (originally the General Image Manipulation Program) sired by Spencer Kimball & Peter Mattis. In their own words, "GIMP is our answer to the current lack of free (or at least reasonably priced) image manipulation software for Linux and UNIX in general." It is a raster editor, which means that it performs operations directly on the pixels that make up the image, and not a vector editor.

There are a couple of solutions. The best one, if you have superuser access on your system, or a cooperative system administrator, is to add GIMP's library directory to the system library configuration. To do this, edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib and then type ldconfig and things should work from then on. If you can't do this, add the directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Be sure you do this in your shell's startup scripts as well.

GIMP is interacting in such a way with your system that it thinks you have XIM extensions when you don't. Run the configure script again, with the '--disable-xim' option, and recompile.

This is caused by attemping to use a pre-1.0 libgimp with gimp 1.0. The gimp_message() was added in 1.0, and is required by 1.0 to operate. Remove old libgimp(s), and try again. (See previous question.)

By using GIMP and reporting any bugs you find to Bugzilla you're helping a great deal. But there are other non-technical ways of supporting the development of The GIMP as well. GIMP has a web site, application documentation, lots of tutorials, and more. Unfortunately, as GIMP develops over time, much of this documentation needs to be re-written or freshened up, documentation needs to be added for new functionality, the web site needs to get a new lick of paint and so on.

If your scanner does not come with an Image Capture compliant scanner drive, you could have a look at TWAIN-SANE. It creates a bridge between TWAIN and the Mac OS X image capture system, and it comes with hundreds of scanner drivers based on SANE, Linux' scanner driver framework. So there is a good chance that there's a driver for your scanner, too.

Absolutely. FileConvert was made to support network scanners. The network scanners save documents to a specific folder which FileConvert will constantly "watch." When FileConvert detects a new file in the folder, it automatically processes and converts the file according to the rules that have been set for that folder, routing the file to its proper destination.

Geomagic Studio is compatible with any 3D scanner or digitizer. The majority of 3D scanner file formats can be read natively, and some scanners have direct hardware support for data acquisition via Geomagic Plugins.

Many highly requested features of the GIMP will be easier to do using GEGL. Layer effects, layer groups, and adjustment layers are quite easily represented (and efficiently calculated) using the DAG organization of GEGL. CMYK and high bit depth support will be easier because GEGL does not make the same assumptions about color spaces and data types that the GIMP does. The reusability of image processing operations means that plug-ins will be able to be designed in a much more modular way.

The scanner is wide open on both ends, and well lit and -ventilated throughout. There is a call button and two-way intercom system so that you can communicate with the technologist at all times

BioPhotonic technology is a new advancement in laser technology and is made possible by applying optics concepts to the investigation of living human tissues. In the BioPhotonic scanner we use the fact that each species of molecules in the body can generate a different set of colors of light when stimulated with a laser beam. Therefore, this color spectrum is a unique optical fingerprint of a particular molecule species. The instrument uses a blue laser with a wavelength of 473 nm.

The BioPhotonic Scanner? measures the level of carotenoids in the skin. The level of skin carotenoids is a good reflection of carotenoids in the body, which in turn is an important indicator of the strength of your body's defence system.
