VueScan Professional Edition 8.4.73



VueScan Professional Edition 8.4.73


VueScan supports over 750 flatbed and film scanners and 142 digital camera raw file types, and is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
It automatically adjusts images to optimum color balance, which reduces the need to manually do this in Photoshop.
VueScan includes built-in color calibration of scanners, producing colors that look true to life.
Supporting more than 100 brands of negative film, VueScan offers options for scanning faded slides and prints, batch scanning, IT8 color calibration and other advanced scanning features.

VueScan and SilverFast are the two leading multi-vendor scanner programs.
Some differences are:

Supported scanners - VueScan supports 750 scanners and SilverFast supports 289 scanners.
Universal Binary - VueScan runs faster on Intel Macs because it is a universal binary. Silverfast is an older PowerPC program that runs slower on Intel Macs (it has a universal binary launcher, but the SilverFast plugin is PowerPC only).
Multi-processor - VueScan runs faster on multi-processor systems (including multi-core systems) on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Silverfast doesn't have multi-processor support and is slower.
Number of scanners - a single copy of VueScan can work with all supported scanners, but you need to purchase and install a separate copy of SilverFast for each scanner you use.
Film scanning - VueScan is widely acknowledged to produce superior scans of color negative film.
Infrared cleaning - VueScan supports on all scanners with an infrared lamp, SilverFast doesn't support on any Canon scanners and on some Epson scanners.
2 GByte scans - VueScan can do high-resolution scans that produce more than 2 GBytes of scan data, SilverFast can't. This is useful when scanning 4x5 or 8x10 film.
Ease of use - VueScan has a simpler, more consistent user interface than SilverFast, and is easier to learn, easier to use, and more productive for batch scanning.
