#Vuescan linux software
VueScan is a replacement for the software that came with your scanner. It can also recognize text using OCR and create multi-page PDFs using flatbed scanners and scanners with automatic document feeders. VueScan can output scanned documents, photos, and film in PDF, JPEG, TIFF formats. That said, this is more than adequate for now – the image below is a scan of one of my first pinhole images from a year & a half ago in London, scaled down from 5000×5000 pixels.This VueScan changes nothing on your system installs nothing in your system and all other scanner software will continue to function. So I’m stuck at 2400 DPI for while, until I talk myself into shelling out for a new desktop with 4 GB of RAM.
#Vuescan linux full
The only remaining problem is that if I try to scan at the full 4800 DPI my laptop (with 768 MB of RAM) goes into a swap death spiral, because the combination of the raw RGB scan, the infrared scan and the post-processing requires on the order of 1 GB of memory for a single medium format slide.
With this all installed, I now have a choice of 3 programs to do scanning with, Sane, IScan, and VueScan. The firmware itself is closed source & proprietry, but they do provide both a Linux version of their scanner software ( IScan) and a SANE backend, under the GPL (+ an exception to allow them to deal with the firmware loading library). Fortunately it turns out that Epson are a (reasonably) Linux friendly company, providing a Linux version of their scanner software for a large number of distros.
#Vuescan linux drivers
I re-checked the release notes for VueScan, where-upon I discovered the small print – its only supported if you have the Epson drivers installed, because it needs a firmware loaded. I was mildly worried that I had a dud unit now.
Upgraded to the latest version of VueScan, still nothing.
Odd, because various web postings claimed it worked with both Sane & VueScan. I plugged it in, added its USB vendor & product IDs to hotplug usermaps, re-plugged it, and fired up VueScan. Getting it working under Linux was a little bit of a roller-coaster ride. So I went looking for a medium format scanner and finally settled on the Epson Perfection 4490 which was well rated by a number of photographic magazines, and a snip at only $200 – a small fraction the price of the dedicated Nikon film scanner when I bought it back in London. This was all well and good, but I’ve got and ever increasing number of medium format negatives & slides taken with my Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera which won’t fit in the Nikon. If you’ve got a scanner which isn’t supported by Sane, then its worth checking it out.
#Vuescan linux professional
VueScan is the first piece of commercial software I’ve bought in years, and I can say it is well worth the $80 for their professional edition which provides lifetime upgrades. While it is not supported by the open source Sane software, the cross-platform VueScan software does a fanatastic job of driving it, even including support for the ICE (infrared) cleaning.
