Synopsis
VueScan is the worlds most widely used software interface
for digitizing film and prints on flatbed and film
scanners. This powerful yet affordable program supports
over 1500 scanners and 321 digital camera RAW file types,
and is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Much
more than a simple scanner program, VueScan allows you to
perform functions such as colour restoration, adding
sharpening filters, adjusting white balance, rotating
images, and batch scanning multiple images. It also
provides output to a variety of formats including TIFF,
JPEG, and searchable PDF files (even all three
simultaneously). The Pro version outputs to the RAW
format and provides options for colour adjustments, and
more. Despite its popularity, the documentation for
VueScan does not provide enough information to use the
full power of the system and makes it difficult to get
started.
