VueScan overview

VueScan is a scanning program that works with most high-quality flatbed and film scanners to produce scans that have excellent color fidelity and color balance. VueScan is easy to use, and has advanced features for restoring faded colors, batch scanning and other features used by professional photographers.

Advantages:

Easy to use - just run VueScan, press Preview, adjust the cropping, then press Scan.
Accurate colors - uses ICC profiles and IT8 calibration.
Powerful - dozens of advanced options.
Faster workflow - can edit one image while the next image is being scanned (most scanner software won't let you work with one image while another is being scanned).
Simple to install - installing VueScan changes nothing on your system, installs nothing in your operating system and all other scanner software will continue to function.

9.7.92 has a bug (on my system: M1 Mac running MacOS 12.6) where it hangs when trying to save the scan. Reverted to 9.7.91. Vuescan is generally excellent. I expect this big will be fixed soon.

I;ve purchased VS a couple years ago. To tell the truth, I don't see absolutely any difference in results of scanning with VS and my Epson Perfection V37. And I'm doing graphics, making posters from vintage illustration(colored). EP is an excellent scanner, so I guess VS doesn't do more than EP and obviously it is not better. VS in my opinion for somebody who has a very old scanner and the software is not updated anymore. Otherwise it is much better to purchase the most newest scanner by Epson or Canon.

This Is A Most Excellent Scanner Application If you have any scanner and haven't purchased VueScan you are missing out on the best scanner application ever developed. Period! I owned a scanner 15+ years ago that was orphaned by its parent company. For the times, it was a good scanner and I did not want to toss it. Enter VueScan. I discovered this wonder application and had to never look back. Over the years I have purchased many scanners and multi-function copiers (MFC). I have never used any software to access them except VueScan. It has always worked flawlessly with them all.

Most excellent. My "official" canon scanning app kept saying "cannot load driver." Tried several posted fixes that didn't fix anything. Downloaded VueScan a few days ago, and WOW! Worked more quickly out of the box than canon software ever did. Will be purchasing a license shortly. Great stuff.

Vuescan.....been using it since its inception by Ed H. I've never had a real issue with it except once, a minor issue that I emailed him about. He got back to me same day. I've used probably 4 or 5 scanners...HP, Canon, Epson and Brother with it. Color correction is great as is quality. You CANNOT go wrong, but if you do just ask them about your issue. 5 stars.

I'm considering VueScan as a future purpose, though the included software works fine for the basic tasks I'm doing right now. My question is though, in 2021, how relevant are flatbed scanners over scanning with your phone? There seems to be a growing number of people saying stand alone scanners are becoming less and less necessary with current mobile technology And I was shown an attachment for phones for doing film. I'm open to both, however when I took graphic arts, I learned the traditional way with a flatbed scanner. I recently purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo to replace my HP all in one, since I don't need to print, and ink is way overpriced. So, I was curious if VueScan will ever include phone scanning, if not already ?

There is no version of VueScan that costs $19.95. The current (2021) standard version is $39.95, and the professional version is $99.95.

I´m using VueScan for at least 18 years with several (older) scanners. There´s never been a problem and when I had a question, I always got a answer in short time.

You guys leaving these attack posts are LOSERS! I've used vuescan since Ed Hameric first came out with it years ago. He has always kept up with the market FULL of scanners and has never let me down. He has been quite personable online with me ALWAYS getting back to me within a few days if not the next day. And you, alexterkinov, what the hell are you suing about. This is the best scanner for the hundreds and hundreds out there. 5 stars!!!!

please can write which models of scanners did you use and how many. I study film scanning market segmentation and consider legal action against Hamrick software. But the log file is more preferable.

This product is terrible. Does not come with an instruction manual. Support is only on their internal email so if you cannot provide the data points from the data log, you are sunk.

Support on this product for anybody other than an expert is terrible. System is not working and the only way to contact the vendor is are there internal network email. I cannot complete the form because I cannot find the log that is necessary to attach in order to complete my inquiry. They do not provide a telephone support number. So, anyone who does not know how to find data files on their computer will be stuck and cannot even reach out to explain that they are having an operating issue.

I'm trying to get an old Epson Perfection 2580 working on a new M1 Mac running Big Sur. Unfortunately, Preview and Image Capture will no longer work. Although they see the Epson driver they can't activate it. But the trial version of Vuescan works... But it costs $60 in Australia for the basic version. Or $130 if I want slide scanning and a few other advanced features. That's a lot of money. So, what are my options. 1. Grit teeth and buy the software. 2. Buy a brand new Epson - Perfection V39 for $99 3. Get an old Mac working and use Image Capture or Preview At the moment I'm working backwards. Hopefully will get an old Mac working today. But if Mr Hamrick's software had of been priced a bit more realistically I'd have been using it by now.

Will this work with an HP Scanjet G4010? I cannot find it on the list of scanners supported. Thanks!

Version: 9.7.29

Bought a professional upgrade right before VueScan stopped supporting my scanner. Money was wasted and upgrade was never used. Asked for a refund and Ed Hamrick, the notoriously miserly owner of the company was incredibly short and rude with me. The software works until it doesn't. The owner is an ass and not worthy of your money.

Could be a great app but it is rather buggy. Writing for support does not produce a reply and online documentation is lacking in detail and specifics. Batch scanning is poorly implemented and unpredictable. OK - it supports a lot of scanners, but it has to work properly as well.

App is OK. But you're on your own if you have a problem. Support is done by author and he is one rude dude. You have to send him a vuescan log file that allegedly provides only diagnostics. Who knows what else it provides? He stubbornly will not provide support unless he gets his log file. There are other scanning apps that are supported properly.

In an update to my previous review... I use this software with more than one scanner and it is always better than the software provided by the manufacturer. I use a Plustek 8200i film scanner and now use VueScan rather than the Silverfast 8 that came with it. I recently had a problem after the latest update 9.7.28. This is understandable because VueScan works on a wide variety of scanners. Ed Hamrick stayed in frequent communication until he could fix the problem. You will not get better customer service than that from anyone! I'm glad I bought the Pro license. It makes sense if you do any scanning on any machine.

I have been using the Professional version for about twenty years now, through at least a dozen scanning devices on Mac and Windows systems, and have never -- n-e-v-e-r -- been let down by this app or developer. If I ever have a question, I invariably find the answer in a careful reading either in the software or at the website. Recommended as essential.
