Profiling, and raw scanning abilities plus more hints and tips and Part II to be published soon will discuss VueScan's color management, VueScan, its features, document- and book scanning. Part I of the review tutorial deals with an introduction to Then my review grew bigger and bigger - as is the nature of life - until I finally decided to split it in several parts, the first installment you will get to enjoy now." -Brahman
The more I worked on it the more I felt that the review should become even more holistic by also discussing selected software (like scanner utilities, e-book post processing, and sharpening) and hardware (color calibration targets and monitor calibration devices) that I found over the years which really help a lot to produce great scans in the most effortless way. Since VueScan in its expert mode can be quite daunting, some tutorial elements and walk throughs are included so that the reader can feel more at home even with some of the more obscure settings and get a very rich scanning experience out of VueScan. This application has now reached a degree of maturity that I decided to do a deeper review for the DonationCoder community. Since scanning became a minor hobby, I followed the development of VueScan for about 10 years - occasionally (every couple of years) downloading the trial. And needless to say I was hooked ever since. In those days it took a whole afternoon of fiddling with scanner settings to get one somehow acceptable middle of the road color scan! The next year I got my feet wet with the first third party scanning application Art-Scan and I also bought a new faster SCSI flatbed scanner with 600x1200dpi resolution. However, don't even think color scanning was such an effortless process then as it is now: just putting a color picture on the platen, press a button, and get a somehow decent result. Then I bought my first real flatbed scanner in 1996 - an Epson ES-1000C with 400x800dpi resolution- giving me an entree into the world of color scanning. This was before the flatbed scanners market took off. My first attempts at document scanning were a fax machine which I rigged to be a direct input document scanner (without a telephone line) to my computer via the modem. It began because I was traveling constantly and wanted to have as much documentation on my laptop with me as possible. "I have always had an interest in scanning.
