Software-update: VueScan 9.8.55

Hamrick Software heeft versie 9.8.55 van VueScan uitgebracht. Het programma kan worden gebruikt als vervanger van de bij scanners meegeleverde twain-drivers en biedt vaak meer instelmogelijkheden. In veel gevallen kan het programma ook scanners aansturen als de fabrikant zelf geen driver voor het desbetreffende besturingssysteem heeft uitgebracht. Naast scannen kan het ook enkele bewerkingen uitvoeren, zoals crop, sharpen, grainreduction en het aanpassen van de kleurbalans. VueScan is beschikbaar voor Windows, macOS en Linux en biedt ondersteuning voor ruim 8000 scanners van 42 fabrikanten. Het programma is te gebruiken in 28 talen, waaronder het Nederlands. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
