i found a dedicated scanner! controlled via usb! works right out of the box with xsane!

but uhhhh... it sees differently.
in the first image, you can see the wild depth of field that it's capable of
and in the second you can see that it sees through a lens... how my eye would. or how another lens would perceive it.
it's not scanning the projected image from the lens like the epson does. it's... taking a photo much more how a camera with a lens mounted to it already would. and i have NO idea why. i guess it's a different type of scanner? maybe i can mod it to behave the way i want? is this why i see people mention needing a ground glass in the setup? if so then why doesn't the epson need it? sooo many questions.

the green that is present in the image at embed size is fascinating to me because it was not created intentionally at all. more glitchy process stuff primarily abusing making lots of instances of tools in darktable and changing the processing order. style ive been experimenting with in my earlier pose extractions and such. this one is a lot less imagedestructiony though, and i feel like the glitchcolors compliment the original photo, something i dont achieve often (usually more experimental editing for me results in a loss of what originally brought me to press the shutter button)

todays combination of things. moving fast, not happy with a lot of em but thats less important than just sharpening the workflow here
