“User friendly scanning interface”

by Nick Mead about VueScan

If you haven't got a default scanning software loaded onto your machine, then take a look at VueScan, which simply and easily allows you to connect to your scanner in minutes.

The developers of VueScan claim that it's the world's most widely-used scanning software among photographers, home users and corporations. Although this would seem far fetched, it's certainly true that it must be popular simply by virtue of it's simplicity and ease of use for anyone not familiar with scanning software.

VueScan is highly flexible which is another great aspect of it - it doesn't matter if you change scanner as it still continues to support it whatever model it is. According to the developers, VueScan supports more than 400 scanners and 185 digital camera raw files so you won't find any incompatibility issues. Installation is lightning quick as it's such a light package and there's little waiting around - just open VueScan and you're ready to scan.

There's not much to it but in a way, that's the great thing about Vuescan - it doesn't bloat your system with unnecessary features or scanning options.

Pros
  • Simple to install and use
  • Very lightweight
  • Supports virtually all scanners
Cons
  • Very thin on features
  • Doesn't make saving scans easy

    Close ... but not what I'd use.

    I absolutely hate programs that install whereever they want! I want ALL my programs in C:\Program Files. If a program installs elsewhere without asking me, I immediately uninstall it. This is th... More
