RE: [Digital BW] Vuescan software

2002-11-28 by Tim Atherton

Jerry,

I use Vuescan with Nikon, Canonscan, Umax, Agfa, Acer and Epson scanners on
systems at home and at work. (the Agfa software is actually pretty good when
it works, but as Agfa is now out of the scanner business, they don't really
support it any more).

I just install Vuescan and use it - the software for all the above
manufacturers is also on the various machines - no conflicts yet...

If you look around on the Vuescan page at Hamrick.com, there is a list of
supported scanners

http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#supported

all Agfa scanners are supported - we used Vuescan on an Arcus II

(be aware Ed seems to update the Vuescan version about twice a week -
usually adding new scanners, refining it, or fixing a problem a new scanner
addition caused... Save any downloads/updates you do, then if you get an
update you don't happen to like, just revert to the last one you were happy
with.

If you go here you can see the version histories
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm )

I generally use Vuescan on all our scanners most of the time. All in all,
the best $49.00 I've ever spent on software
