A new Mac OS X beta (7.5b6) version of VueScan, the scanner software for flatbed and film scanners, is now available from Hamrick Software.
The new beta, a 1.6MB file, has several bug fixes and enhancements. For example, it adds support for the Epson Perfection 600 and fixes 8-bit and 24-bit scans on the Umax 6400.
VueScan is an application designed to work with most scanners to produce high-quality scans that have excellent color fidelity. It takes advantage of the advanced hardware capabilities of most scanners on the market today, and helps you do batch scanning while at the same time producing color-balanced and cropped images, according to Hamrick.
