Most scanners come with their own software, but in many cases they may not offer everything you need. VueScan offers a complete solution for scanning physical documents or pictures. It can make use of a scanner's full capabilities and it can meet any expectation you may have.
The application provides a wide range of options, but the good news is that everything is very well organized and easy to understand. You can choose an input and a few initial parameters, crop the image, apply filters, tweak the colors and make many other settings on separate tabs. They are located on the left half of the interface and the effects of the options can be seen in real time in a preview area, on the right half.
VueScan offers three working methods, for users with different experience levels. By default, the application will load a moderate amount of controls, but if you want more options, you can hit the Advanced button, located in the lower region of the interface. As the name implies, this option will switch the application into advanced mode, which gives you many more tweaking possibilities. It is also possible to go to a simplified mode, which removes all customization controls.
Scanning documents doesn't require too much work, which is why VueScan has much to offer for scanning pictures. Besides scanning printed photos, the application is also capable of scanning slide films, color or black and white negatives, as well as microfilm.
Pros
The application offers a huge number of controls. They are neatly organized on several tabs and they are very easy to understand.
Cons
The Mac OS X version doesn't come with the Guide feature, like the Windows version, but you won't really need it. When scanning documents or pictures with VueScan, you will be able to make almost any visual adjustments you need.
