However, that was when I only had the V500 to scan 35mm frames, with 12 frames to scan at a time, it was just too much of a hassle with Vuescan. I was never able to really get Vuescan to batch scan the way I wanted it to, it took much more effort than it was worth. After making a preview scan you can individual adjust the scanner settings for each frame, hit scan, and just let the scanner do its things. Batch scanning with Epson scan is very easy. That being said, my biggest issue when using Vuescan with the V500 might not be that big of a deal for you, and that is batch scanning. Overall, I really never found that Vuescan was any better than Epson scan in terms of image quality, and is much more of a pain to use. While Vuescan does add some features such as mulit-exposure and multi-sampling that in some cases give a superior result, I've found it to be rather hit or miss as the doesn't always align the multiple scans correctly. I have found that while I can get great results with either program, Epson scan simply takes much less effort to get good results. I have the same scanner and both Vuescan and Epson Scan, personally I greatly prefer Epson Scan for the V500, and use vuescan for my old minolta scanner. In contrast, any issues with VueScan were dealt with swiftly and the pro version is upgradable for life. It has been my experience that when things go wrong, they are big on promises but short on delivery. Many people have a wonderful success with SF. My mistake for accepting, in good faith and all.

I wanted my $$ back but they were unwilling, insisting that I would get the next rev of the software for free (didn't happen, and I have all the email - they don't do voice.) and tempted me with a free scan target. Evey other scan software worked fine on all scanners, simutainously.

Silverfast does not use the epson drivers and talks to the buss directly. I did have a problem with the Silverfast software, involving their software not recognizing my epson scanner while the other scanner (also running silverfast) was turned on.

I just uninstalled all their software and now only use Vuescan, which works them all. When I upgraded my 4490 to a V700 they wanted me to buy another.

I originally had two, which I had purchased 2 costly Ai Studio licenses for. Silverfast gets licensed to a specific scanner. If you want an auto-pilot approach, Silverfast or Epson Scan may be your cup of tea. I prefer VueScan because of the methodical approach and the cost. I have all the software mentioned (err.the last release of SF).

I have seen great scans produced by all the software.
