Hamrick Software, the developer of VueScan, the most widely used scanning software in the world, has released its latest version 8.4.46 - with full support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. There is also support for five new Epson scanners. VueScan has now been downloaded more than 5 million times. VueScan is available in two editions, Standard Edition at $39.95 USD and Professional Edition at $79.95. The Professional Edition adds unlimited free upgrades, advanced IT8 color calibration and support for raw scan files. Multi-user licenses are available.

    "Many of our users are Apple Mac users, and use their scanners quite frequently. It is important to them that we upgrade frequently, and that all of the 750 scanners that we support are kept up to date with latest releases. Most recently, we have been getting new customers from users of Leopard and Windows Vista, since many vendor scanner drivers don't work on Leopard and Windows Vista. New customers also buy VueScan because it provides higher quality scans and has many more features than the software that comes with most scanners" stated Ed Hamrick, President of Hamrick Software.

    "We work closely with the major scanner manufacturers, since they realise that their own software does not meet all their customer requirements,” continued Ed Hamrick. ”No other company in the world supports as many scanners as we do, as a result VueScan has been downloaded more than 5 million times, and our customer base is increasing by more than 20% per year."

    VueScan is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. VueScan offers a full range of advanced features; including options for scanning faded slides and prints and automatically adjusting images to optimum color balance that reduces the need to manually do it in Photoshop.
