My big problem with Vuescan is trying to scan multiple images when I have 3 or 4 photos in the Preview screen. I haven’t a clue what half the settings do but it makes me feel cool to be using the most advanced setting. Vuescan is very similar to other scanning software I have used in that you begin with a choice of Basic, Standard and Professional modes. My main use is scanning decades of family photos and my level of expertise is rather basic. I’ve now downloaded and paid for Vuescan, and it works, which is all I was really hoping for. I did try Epson’s site and did download what I thought to be a suitable driver, but to no avail, no matter which switches were on or off. Interesting read, all comments! One thing I found rather irritating with Epson was that for years they have bombarded me with software updates but since the last OSX update I seem to have had nothing. Silverfast is not bad, it’s simply just to big a hassle to use.Īnd now that the Lightroom plugin Negative Lab Pro has become part of my workflow, Vuescan is the only software I can use. My go to scanner software is Vuescan, although the learning curve is a bit steep, it’s still the best software out there if you ask me. I – as mentioned above – don’t use the Epson software anymore, and haven’t for some time now. So feel free to add you experience in the comments below. I stop using the Epson software a while ago, so it might not be as precise a judgment as Vuescan and Silverfast, because it’s made from my memories of the software.Īnd this is of course my personal experience with the different software, yours maybe different. They were tested on an Epson V700 and/or Plustek 120 scanner.

Here’s a quick comparison of what I think is good and bad about the Vuescan, Epson and Silverfast scanner software.
