Since there are updates to VueScan multiple times per month, you'll probably want to upgrade to them. Should you decide to buy the standard version and then wish any of the upgrades over the life of your scanner, you've already paid for the pro version. If you decide to go the VueScan route, spring for the pro considering the fact that you purchase it once and you'll always get free upgrades. For commercial/business use, you must purchase a separate license for each computer that VueScan is used on. Another advantage of VueScan is that you buy it once and you can use any scanner that VueScan supports without purchasing additional licences the advantage being that you are using a familiar interface for all your scanning and aren't cluttering up your workstation installing everyone manufacturers scanning software. You can use the Standard and Professional Editions of VueScan on up to four different computers that you personally own, with any combination of operating systems, and any number of scanners, both x32 and 圆4, with a single license. VueScan allows you to really tweak your scanning quality. There are a bunch of features in the pro version that are not in the standard version, important ones being RAW scanning and ICC support. However, my favourite scanning application is definitely VueScan Pro. I've used Epson scan before and it does do a very good job, as long as you configure the colour settings correctly.
