Product Description

Product Description

VueScan is the world's most widely used software interface for digitizing film and prints on flatbed and film scanners. This powerful yet affordable program supports over 1500 scanners and 321 digital camera RAW file types, and is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Much more than a simple scanner program, VueScan allows you to perform functions such as color restoration, adding sharpening filters, adjusting white balance, rotating images, and batch scanning multiple images. It also provides output to a variety of formats including TIFF, JPEG, and searchable PDF files (even all three simultaneously). The Pro version outputs to the RAW format and provides options for color adjustments, and more.

Despite its popularity, the documentation for VueScan does not provide enough information to use the full power of the system and makes it difficult to get started. The VueScan Bible is the missing manual for new, experienced, and prospective users of VueScan.

About the Author

Sascha Steinhoff is a computer expert by training and a photographer by passion. He used several rainy seasons in Galway, Ireland to learn everything he needed to know about scanners and scanning software. He soon realized that a good scan requires as much work and know-how as a good camera shot, and that a scanning workflow is essential to get the job done efficiently.

Sascha recently gave up his position as an editor of a leading German technical magazine to move to Bangkok, Thailand, where he is currently working as a freelance journalist and project manager.

Complementary information about the scanning techniques described in this book, as well as as a place where Sascha will reply to inquiries, can be found on his website at http://scanguru.info.

If you have a scanner and use VueScan to work, well this book is really a must have. It explains carefully all those strange functions which are present in the software and gives plenty of good suggestion. I found the workflow examples very useful as well. I don't rate it 5 star only because the part covering the color management in my opinion is very poor and there is some confusion about terms like gamut, color spaces and device dependent/independent color space. That part of the book need a deep review.

Calling a book a bible is a bit daring, but this book is for the VueScan religious and not so religious alike: It really delivers on it's promise to tell you everything you need to know for perfect scanning--with VueScan that is. A good section on how to use VueScan for most all purposes is combined with a very full reference guide to all VueScan's menus, settings and functions. If you're not able to use VueScan after reading this book, you should check your power otlet ;-)

Great book to complement great software that extends the life of otherwise great hardware made virtually obsolete by the manufacturer's refusal to update drivers from Win98 and WinXP to Win7. Mr. Hamrick's software is actually better than the OEM's. Thank you Mr. Steinhoff; thank you Mr. Hamrick.
