VueScan is a photo scanning software solution that specializes in negatives. Images can be scanned in flatbed, transparency or doc feeder mode, at any preferred resolution (up to 300 dpi).
It supports OCR, so that you can also use it to obtain text from scanned files.
The application has a clear-cut interface that unlocks features based on the licensing model you choose: basic, standard, or professional. Evidently, professional mode comes with the most options and configuration settings.
Before starting the scanning operation, it’s possible to preview the photo and crop it in order to eliminate any unnecessary parts.
In fact, VueScan provides you with several image size presets and, if you want to scan anything bigger than that, it will be necessary to scan multiple parts and later put them side by side in the same picture.
Several editing tools are available for the photos, such as cropping, color, and fading restoration, grain reduction, sharpen, de-screen, flatten, color balance, brightness, or scanner color space. The output files can be saved as TIFFs, JPGs or PDFs.
The application receives regular updates and can be purchased in two ways: standard or professional edition. While the standard version allows only flatbed scanning, the professional mode unlocks features for film and slide scanning, automatic document feeders, OCR and advanced features.
Pros:
- Both editions come with a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Updated regularly
- Contains several editing tools
Cons:
- Doesn’t support many file formats as scan results
