VueScan is inexpensive third party scanning software which supports many (if not almost all) current film scanners, and several flatbeds too. VueScan's major claim to fame is its simple and accurate color correction from color negatives. This is often difficult, and VueScan generally makes it easy. VueScan supports the scanner's special hardware, like batch scanning, auto-focus, any infrared channel for dust and scratch suppression, and multi-scan to reduce scanner noise in the dark areas of slides. VueScan can often multi-scan with scanners that do not support this, using multi-pass scans. VueScan can often retrieve the full bit depth of data from scanners that otherwise only output 24 bits.
VueScan is a standalone program. A TWAIN interface is not provided, it instead accesses the scanner hardware directly at low level. VueScan is often faster than the scanner's original software, both scan and focus. You can still use the scanner's original software if desired.
Don't you hate how scanner manufacturers stop releasing drivers whenever a new operating system comes out? VueScan works differently. We create scanner drivers for old scanners so you can keep using the scanner you already have. Download VueScan and start scanning again in 60 seconds.
