I can't find the scan setting to adjust gamma and contrast but i can do greyscale and RGB and black/white. Can anyone help me out. It's a 1 year old Lexmark X1150 Scanner.

(ps: didn't know which topic)

Im not sure where they might be, but I would suggest just doing that stuff in photoshop - I have never adjusted anything when Ive scanned except dpi and switching it to greyscale.

Yeah, same here. The scanner software just adjusts the contrast and brightness after scanning, which boils down to the same as doing it in Photoshop. At least in Photoshop, you have a real-time preview while you change settings and can control the optimal setting.
Although I usually use Levels instead of brightness/contrast...

I would also have to agree on relying on correcting the scan through a graphics application. Still, as a general rule of thumb, get the most up to date drivers for the scanner (Usually found at the companies official site), and search for a settings option. Not all scanners have the feature to adjust gamma (Contrast usually is a standard feature though), so the case might also just be that it's not there.

Yep, it wasn't there, Don't I feel lame. Using photoshop is also easier than using my scanners contrast.
