I just noticed that xsane on my OSS 11.1 machine does not give me the
option to save as TIFF. I checked for libtiff and saw that I have
libtiff3 installed and configured. Is there something beyond that that
is needed to be able to save scanned images in TIFF format when using
xsane?



Did you select or designate the file type on the main window?

/home/<user>/out.pnm (default)
/home/<user>/out.tif[f]

or change "Tyle" from "by ext" to "TIFF"

xsane-0.997-6.9.x86_64 on 11.2r2

Thanks for the response Patrick.

I launch the GUI. I do not see "tiff" as an option under "Type".
If I choose "by ext" and name the file with a .tiff, I get the following
error:
"Unsupported 8-bit output format: tiff"
