It was buggy as hell, it’s user interface is far from ideal, actually I would go so far as to say that is quite disastrous and it is bloody expensive.

However, it came with LaserSoft’s SilverFast software which I used when scanning my own slides a few years back.

I have a PlusTek OpticFilm 7600 scanner which I am quite happy with. So it is time to dust off my film scanner.

In September 2011, VueScan co-developer Ed Hamrick said that he was selling US$3 million per year of VueScan licenses. VueScan supports optical character recognition (OCR), with English included and 32 additional language packages available on its Web site. A standard license allows updates for one year a professional license allows unlimited updates and provides some additional features. Purchase of a license removes the watermark. Without the purchase of a license the program runs in fully functional demonstration mode, identical to Professional mode, except that watermarks are superimposed on saved and printed images.

VueScan is supplied as one downloadable file for each operating system, which supports the full range of scanners. VueScan supports an increasing number of scanners and digital cameras 2,400 on Windows, 2,100 on Mac OS X and 1,900 on Linux in 2018.

Silverfast vs vuescan drivers#

The program uses its own independent method to interface with scanner hardware, and can support many older scanners under computer operating systems for which drivers are not available, allowing old scanners to be used with newer platforms that do not otherwise support them. VueScan enables the user to modify and fine-tune the scanning parameters. In response, Hamrick released VueScan 9.7, effectively saving thousands of scanners from being rendered obsolete. In 2019 when Apple released macOS Catalina, they removed support for running 32-bit programs, including 32-bit drivers for scanning equipment. Vuescan drivers can also be used without the Vuescan program by applications software that supports scanning directly, such as Adobe Photoshop, again enabling the use of scanners without current manufacturers' drivers.

The Vuescan program can be used with its own drivers, or with drivers supplied by the scanner manufacturer, if supported by the operating system.

Vuescan supports more scanners, with a single purchase giving access to the full range of both film and flatbed scanners, and costs less. When compared to SilverFast, a similar program, the reviewer considered the two programs to be comparable, with support for some specific scanners better in one or the other. The review did not report any advantages to Vuescan's processing of documents compared to other software. A 2014 review considered that the reasons to purchase VueScan are to allow older scanners not supported by drivers for newer operating systems to be used in more up-to-date systems, and for better scanning and processing of photographs (prints also slides and negatives when supported by scanners) than is afforded by manufacturers' software. These scanners are supplied with device drivers and software to operate them, included in their price. VueScan is intended to work with a large number of image scanners (over 6500 in August 2021), excluding specialised professional scanners such as drum scanners, on many computer operating systems (OS), even if drivers for the scanner are not available for the OS.
