Good software, great customer support Software is good -- much better than the Epson software that came with my scanner (I have an Epson V700 and a V500 which I now use with VueScan). I am a novice with scanning, but use the software about 8 hours a week, on multiple scanners (the older Epsons previously mentioned and a Plustek 8300i) in a long-term effort to digitize my family photos, negatives, and documents. The software itself doesn't at first appear particularly flashy, but it is a good, versatile scanning tool with a ton of powerful features (different modes open up lots of different options). I particularly like the fact that you can skew the scans, which the Epson software doesn't allow. The software can also do Transparency mode (negatives/slides) assuming your scanner has a backlight. The customer support is really great as well. This morning, one of the updates had a bug or conflict specific to one of my scanners: I contacted help and in under an hour Ed had sent me a test version to see if it would fix the bug. It did, and will be rolled out in the next general update, but in the meantime I have a working beta version. I've never experienced that kind of support from a software company, so on that basis alone I would recommend the product/company.

VueScan is a product I will buy again! VueScan is worth the money! I am really happy that this product exists! For me it solved the issue of continuing to use existing hardware. And the software really helps to digitalize documents and securing them this way. One of my favorite features is the continuous document scanning where one and only one file is created. Please keep up the awesome work!

Great software for those who scan a lot I've been using ViewScan Professional for many years for many years (both for scanning sheets of paper and for scanning slides) and I intend to use it for many more! I've also installed it on some clients' machines. The main attractions of the software are: 1. It works on thousands of models of scanners, modern and old, and it is a great way to get the most from all of them while working with a consistent user interface. 2. It offers a huge range of features, supporting almost any feature built into a scanner (e.g. infrared pre-scan, sheet feeder) or even ones not built into the scanners in the first place such as multiple samples. These will probably only only be relevant to some people and only some of the time, but when you need the feature, you will be very grateful it is there! All in all, the great thing is that it's an "all in one" solution for all scanners, and is continuously being developed both in terms of adding new scanner models to the range and in terms of image processing features (for example, a recent feature is "hole punch removal" which does exactly what you imagine). On the downside, it's a big program, the interface is a little old fashioned, so there's a significant learning curve (particularly if you use it to scan colour negatives or slides). Therefore, it's probably not the software for the ocassional user, but if you scan regularly, and certainly if you scan a lot, this is the bees knees!

I am user of VueScan since nearly two… I am user of VueScan since nearly two decades (or more). There is no better scan-program I know. Means: Vuescan is simply the best! I use an very old epson-scanner and it is not nececcary for changing it. Use VueScan for lifetime – scanning in future will be easy! Matthew

I have been using VueScan for 20+… I have been using VueScan for 20+ years. I bought the professional version to help Ed as he started out. I have never been disappointed. The software has just kept improving over the years and works excellent. I use it for all my scanning needs: photo prints, negatives and slides. I have several scanners and it works great with all them. The software has tons of features, options and helpful workflows. I especially like filter features (IR clean, restore colors, restore fading, grain reduction). I have tried other software including the software that came with the scanner and other commercial software and not been as satisfied with the results. I can produce an image straight from Vuescan that does not require Photoshopping later. I am back scanning another batch of old negatives and have reaffirmed my satisfaction with Vuescan.
