The VueScan program already offers the RAW-data from scanner – optionally as Adobe DNG files.
There’s also the SilverFast HDR program which offers RAW from a scanner.
These 2 programs do not use TWAIN – they provide their own scanner drivers which probably allow them the direct access to the scanner hardware.
I think this is what most folks mean by the term “raw”
Most likely. Ask Ed Hamrick, the VueScan author.
But the output will still be packed RGB or grayscale or bitonal.
No. The output in VueScan Pro-version can really be in the Adobe DNG format.
Does one of those sound like what you’re looking for?
My idea is quite simple and obvious: if some digital photocameras offer RAW – scanners should do also.
