VueScan also have a limited but decent automatic file naming and the option to add descriptions to your files before saving them which is quite practical when processing them later. I enabled multiexposure, infrared dust & scratch removal and the restore colors filter and out came very good raw scans for me to import into Lightroom. In this aspect I feel that VueScan is actually doing a better job that SilverFast. I am processing all my scans through Lightroom and I just want the best possible raw scan to start with. It does not really have the plethora of adjustment features that SilverFast has, at least the more advanced (and expensive) versions of SilverFast, but you really want to leave the more advanced adjustments to a dedicated software for this purpose anyway. Things like automatic crop speeding up your workflow are there of course and works fairly well. The user interface is nothing fantastic but it is a dream compared to SilverFast.

In addition you can install it on up to four PC’s.

VueScan is quite reasonably priced at 89.95$ for the full version (39.95$ for the entry level one but then you get no film scanning) and it is one license for as many scanner models as you want.

As you can deduce from the title of this post the trial went well. So after some research on the web I decided to try out VueScan since it seemed to be recommended by a fair amount of people. That alone makes me want to ditch this company. It is clear that LaserSoft have not managed to leave the archaic ways of extorting money out of their customers that were common in the software industry a couple of decades ago. You also have to buy a license per scanner model so the Silverfast software I have would then not work with my HP flatbed scanner which is just ridiculous. So in order to use the software that came with my scanner I would have to pay for an upgrade and LaserSoft really charges exorbitant fees for everything. The latter would perhaps not mattered so much if it was not for the fact that the software that came with the scanner simply do not work on my Windows 8 installation (my old rig was a Windows 7 one). It was buggy as hell, it’s user interface is far from ideal, actually I would go so far as to say that is quite disastrous and it is bloody expensive. However, it came with LaserSoft’s SilverFast software which I used when scanning my own slides a few years back. I have a PlusTek OpticFilm 7600 scanner which I am quite happy with. So it is time to dust off my film scanner. When I came back from Sweden I had a whole bunch of Kodachrome slides with me that my father has taken.
