We had but one scanner, but VueScan lets you choose between multiple scanners and compatible image data sources, when available. VueScan resembles many scanner utilities we've tried, with a main window showing Preview and Scan tabs and a left-hand navigation and control panel tabbed for Input, Crop, Filter, Color, Output, and Prefs. These frequent on-screen explanations and other data showed VueScan's emphasis on ease of use and support.

It also displayed an optional tool tip, and the message box on the Input tab asked what we wanted to do, following up its question with specific examples and actions. VueScan automatically detected our USB flatbed scanner when it opened.
