Vuescan: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID=634deac30f4ab3af8b74bd6668868c389f3e02ed, stripped My concern is that GIMP may not be an adequate replacement for PhotoShop. So I believe VueScan is worth some effort to install. VueScan makes a good partner with PhotoShop CS when restoring old negatives and slides. In these cases, VueScan's automatic repair does a better job than PhotoShop CS repairs (in my opinion).Ģ) VueScan has extensive libraries of color adjustments for different negative film types.ģ) VueScan has many built-in tools for experimenting with image corrections directly from the RAW data.Ĥ) VueScan handles every scanner I've ever tried (large driver data base), including specialized film scanners.ĥ) VueScan has OCR (not necessary, but convenient).Ħ) VueScan has batch processing to handle large volumes of films. VueScan can use this IR channel info to automatically locate and repair damage on films/slides. If you are trying to restore old/damaged film negatives and slides, then I believe that VueScan is a valuable tool.ġ) Some scanners can scan with an Infra-red channel, in addition to the 3 color channels. VueScan is significantly more than just scanning software and printer drivers. I'll try to address your concern about VueScan. I'd appreciate any guidance on how to install VueScan into KDE 64-bit PCLinuxOS. Next, I installed and searched fuller versions of KDE 64-bit PCLinuxOS (Full Monty, and Full), but couldn't find the missing library (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0). Unfortunately, installing these packages did not eliminate the error message. So using 'Synaptic Package Manager', I've tried installing:

'./vuescan: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' Installed all updates using 'Synaptic Package Manager'.Ģ) Downloaded 'vuex3295.tgz' from ' ', and extracted the files into: I'm trying to install VueScan into KDE 64-bit PCLinuxOS MiniMe, but failing.ġ) Installed KDE 64-bit PCLinuxOS MiniMe. I'm new to PCLinuxOS, and still learning.
