2808.0. "Paint problems with scanned pictures" by FRSTSC::ERLEMANN (Bedman strikes back) Wed May 23 1990 08:52

    Hi,
    
    what could be wrong, if you scan a DIN A4 picture (~210x290mm) with
    a Digital MD300 Scanner, try to open the created .DDIF file from
    DECpaint and get the error message: "Picture too big"?
    
    Picture is perfectly readable/displayable with the CDA viewer.
    
    Any hints?
    
    Thanks
    	Armin

	Are you sure you're not getting "Picture too big to fit on screen."? At 300 dpi an A4 picture will not fit on the screen at 1 to 1 (pixel to scanned dot). DECpaint should allow use of the image regardlessf of the fact that it will not fit on the screen (it does with my scanned images). BTW I have written programs that allow the Microtek version of the MD300 (MS300-A) to work on a serial line on a VAXstation. One program is a motif based interface to the scanner the other is a terminal based interface. The scanner works very slowly on a VAXstaion serial line, but it works. If anyone has an old MS300-A that they would like to use on a VAX (with the termial based version that means any vax with a serial line) send me mail. Bob KAPRI::CLARY
