The reviewer considered VueScan comparable to SilverFast, a similar program, 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 over 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. Step 4: If you are scanning sprockets or weird image sizes set Crop to manual.VueScan is intended to work with a large number of image scanners, 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. Well if it's a 120mm shot you are going to end up with 50mb to 60mb image and it will take over an hour to scan each frame. When I first started scanning my own photos I would jack the DPI as high as it would go. I find 1200 dpi does it for me: plenty of quality and workable file sizes. Step 3: If you are only posting photos on Lomography or just sharing them. You can always just flip it around when you get to that end of the roll or use something to space the bottom of the scanner from the mask but it should be something that is perfectly leveled. There is a drawback, part of your image area will be lost. Solution: Push the mask to the bottom of the scanning bed, it keeps it level. Vuescan will try to scan by making a bunch of stop-and-go sounds then fail. Step 1: If you are going to use any of the Lomo scanning masks you can't have it pushed to the top of the scanner. I needed another scanning program so I could scan sprocket holes. VueScan 9: It can do great things, but it's been a headache at times.So I installed Vuescan 9 plugin for photoshop with Cs3.


Canon CanoScan 8800F: This is a decent sized, affordable, and quick flatbed scanner.
