Rocky NookDear Reader,
First, I would like to say thank you for giving me your trust by purchasing this book! I owe and dedicate The VueScan Bible to my readers. It was your feedback that convinced me to write another book about scanning. After publishing my successful book, Scanning Negatives and Slides , that describes all scanning processes in detail, I received loads of letters via my website, www.scanguru.info. Along with giving me useful feedback, readers frequently demanded even more software-specific guidanceand VueScan was at the forefront of those readers interests.
So, here we go! The VueScan Bible is designed to help both beginners and experienced users get the most out of their VueScan-powered scanners. While it includes all the basic scanning know-how you need, VueScan-specific workflows are the center of attention. Scanning is not rocket science, but you simply have to know certain things; otherwise, you will waste a lot of time and effort. This is especially true when you use software as powerful as VueScan. Despite its rich features, VueScan is a remarkably lean scanning program that has been continually improved by its inventor, Ed Hamrick, for more than a decade. I want to express my gratitude to Ed Hamrick, who has been supporting this book project from the very beginning.
VueScan was the first scanning software ever to provide sophisticated features, like RAW data scanning functionality, that live up to their promise. And it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux computers alike. Whether you are a techie-loving pixel peeper or just an average user who wants to work quickly and efficiently with the softwareyou must get used to VueScans tricks and traps for the best scanning results. This book provides you with everything you need to know to convert your analog negatives, slides, documents, and photo prints into high-quality digital files.
Best Regards

VueScan has an astonishing variety of options. This book uses different styles for intuitive navigation through all these tabs, options, and buttons. Below is an explanation of how it works.
Adressing of first level entries like File (Edit, Scanner, etc.):
File
Adressing of subentry:
File Save image
or when written separately:
go to File menu and pick Save image or Page setup .
Adressing of tab, like Input (Crop, Filter, etc.):
Input
Adressing of subentry in tab:
Input Task
Adressing of configuration option in subentry:
Input Task Scan to file
or when written seperately:
go to Input Task and configure Scan to file .
This format is used for the tabs Preview and Scan as well.
Pushbuttons either on the keyboard or in VueScan look like this:
Scan for Scan Button in the GUI
F1 for F1 key on the keyboard
This format is used for the pushbuttons Scan and Preview in the VueScan GUI as well. Dont mix it up with the tabs Preview and Scan .
This book refers to VueScan Professional 9.0.22, which was the newest version of VueScan at the time of writing. Ed Hamrick continually releases updates; a new version every two weeks or so is quite common. Please consider that the updates mainly contain bug fixes; new functionality is implemented much less frequently. That means the information in this book will stay up to date even though you might be using a newer version of VueScan. If you have any questions contact the author at his website www.scanguru.info.
In general the images for this book have been taken by the author, the exceptions are marked clearly.
VueScan is possibly the most feature-rich application available on the market today. It allows you to control nearly all current scanner models plus a good portion of vintage models. When you compare the program to the scanner drivers shipped with scanning hardware, you will find that VueScan is much more powerful. Of course, this power comes at a price. Though it has a beginners mode, the sheer number of options in VueScan can make it cumbersome if you are not familiar with its operation. But as this chapter will show, you can easily handle VueScan once you are familiar with the concepts.
VueScan is a third-party scan application developed by Ed Hamrick. Although every scanner comes with a scanner driver provided by the manufacturer, you can noticeably expand your scanners abilities by using VueScan. VueScan is a commercial yet economically priced application. It supports 1,600 different scanners at the time of writing this book and new scanners are added frequently, therefore the numbers are still rising. The application supports almost all flatbed and film scanners available on the market today, and a good portion of vintage scanners as well. So if you are using any common desktop scanner, the chances are high that VueScan will work with it.
Of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule. At present, VueScan does not support CMOS scanners. CMOS scanners are small, box-shaped devices that have a CMOS chip inside to convert analog slides into digital pictures. Despite their comparably poor quality, they sell quite wellmostly because of their low price. For quality-conscious users, they are not a reasonable choice; though they have been around for some years, they still lag far behind traditional flatbed and film scanners. Basically these are just cheap digital cameras in a box.
