If you already have a scanner with a few years on your back but you don't want to get rid of it due to the good results it has given you over time, VueScan may be able to provide you a second youth.
Normally with the passage of time the different manufacturers and even the operating system itself in successive updates stops support certain hardware with drivers that are not updated at the same rate and is that to some extent it is normal that the scheduled obsolescence becomes more apparent in these cases.
For this very reason the folks at hamrick.com have decided to focus on all that range of scanners to go making them compatible with its program even if the manufacturer and the system put them aside, for this they have built a database of more than 2300 scanners of all kinds of brands and periods to make them fully functional in some cases and only in part in others.
The latest version fully compatible with Mavericks is 9.4.19 in which when opening the program, it will offer us different options to scan, having fields to change the origin and the task, that is, if we prefer to scan to file or create a profile up to the size of the support through the final resolution of the document.
The truth is that it works really well in everything, both in the crop options and the sharpening filters and color restoration. In short, a recommended program if your scanner no longer has driver support.
The price of this program is $ 39,95 for the standard edition with one year of free updates and $ 79,95 for the professional edition free updates forever.
