Not necessarily. Vuescan is better for me because I never have to 
relearn software when I get a new scanner (doesn't happen very often any 
more) or when I switch scanners (happens a lot). It is the later reason, 
switching from Nikon LS-5000 to an Epson flatbed, that keeps me using 
Vuescan. At the time, I didn't like Epson's software (I have an older 
scanner) and I never bothered opening Nikon's software. I was already 
using Vuescan with satisfactory results so I didn't see any reason to 
change.

But if you're getting good results with PS twain for Nikon 4000 ... 
there's no reason to change. There are so many other things in life that 
want our "excess" time.

Thanks Harry. I always enjoy browsing photographs.
