VueScan Updated – Improves Handling of Raw Files

Hamrick Software has updated its scanning application for Mac OS X to version 8.4.82. VueScan should now handle raw files better, according to the makers, while support for Image Capture scanners has also been added, among others.

Hamrick Software's VueScan works with most high-quality flatbed and film scanners. The software can help Mac users produce scans boasting excellent color fidelity and balance. Users can do batch scanning, while producing color-balanced and cropped images at the same time, all thanks to the advanced hardware capabilities of today's scanners. A list of supported (required) scanners is available at this address.

VueScan sports advanced features for restoring faded colors, batch scanning and other tools used by professional photographers, supporting more than 400 scanners and 157 digital camera raw files. Scanning with VueScan is pretty easy, and you'll be given step by step instructions when you start.

There are two Editions of VueScan - Standard and Professional. However, users only need to download a single file for either version. The first time you download the software, it operates as a free trial, but as soon as you purchase it and enter the serial number, the Standard Edition or Professional Edition features are enabled. Also, the dollar-sign watermark is disabled.

As an existing user, you can update to the latest version for free. To update, just download the trial version from the link provided below, and the software will automatically recognize if you've already purchased it. Just install it over your old version of VueScan. Upgrades are free in the first year after you purchase the Standard Edition, while Professional Edition buyers get all their updates for free.

New in VueScan 8.4.82:

· Improved efficiency when processing raw files.
· Improved support for Image Capture scanners.
· Fixed problem with Epson Perfection V350.
· Improved Greek language support.

VueScan calls for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or later, and a supported scanner.
