Questions tagged [sane]

SANE is an open source API that provides access to raster image scanner hardware, written for Unix and Linux.

SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.).

The current source code is written for UNIX (including GNU/Linux) and is available under the GNU General Public License (the SANE API is available to proprietary applications and backends as well, however).

More information may be found at the sane web site.

On Linux, how do I take the TIFF that SANE's scanimage outputs and convert it to a JPEG with a pipe character?

I was thinking of using Imagemagick's convert program, as my preferred program nconvert doesn't work on the ARM CPU of the Raspberry pi.
