Either program will let you tweak your scans to get better results than you'll get with the software the scanner comes with. VueScan's most obvious competition is SilverFast Ai Studio 8, another, significantly more expensive, scan utility that also works with a long list of scanners from various companies, and also offers lots of sophisticated features. But if you want to coax the best possible quality out of whatever scanner you have, VueScan is well worth the investment. Beyond that, unless you're serious about getting high-quality photo scans, there's no reason at all to get the program. One reason is that you might have an older scanner that doesn't have a driver for the OS on your new computer. Difficult to master, with the best settings not always the obvious ones.Įvery scanner comes with its own scan utility, so you might wonder why you would need to buy another one, like VueScan 9 Professional Edition ($79.95) from Hamrick Software.How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.How to Record the Screen on Your Windows PC or Mac.How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 Files.How to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill.How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad.How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages.I'm posting partly in hope of a soltion, but mostly to document the problem for others. I'm not sure there is a solution to this because I suspect it is a software-based communication prblem between the V600 and VueScan. After I initially reported this, his suggestyion was a shorter cable and to try a different USB port. I am awaiting a follow up reply from Ed Hamrick at VueScan. I have purchased a new short USB cable for the V600, tried all three USB ports on my laptop, rebooted my laptop, and re-installed the Epson software and VueScan.
At that point I have to turn the V600 off and quit (sometimes Force Quit) VueScan. If it hangs, the V600 blue activity light continues flashing as if it were trying to communicate with my laptop. Any dpi setting higher than that results in VueScan hanging on the 'calibration' step or just quitting. With my Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner (but NOT with the WF-3620) I can preview (400 dpi setting) but not scan to TIF at any setting greater than 400 dpi. With my Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner and EpsonScan 2, some of the TIF files are corrupt and cannot be imported into Capture One Pro (Version 23) unless I first open the file in something like GraphicConverter and then resave it without any alterations other than resaving it. Using MacBookPro (Monterey 12.6.3) I can scan photos (color and B&W) with my Epson WF-3620 (networked) scanner, using either EpsonScan 2 (V 6.4.100) or VueScan (V 9.7.99). In response to this thread ( Epson scanner software constantly hanging… - Apple Community) I have a related follow up.
