I own a 13 year old Umax PowerLook 3000 using PowerColor software. (Still works...). Although I've never been happy with the (lack of) sharpness
After much research & emails, I decided on a V750.
Researching software I downloaded (free demos) SilverFast and Vuescan. SilverFast wouldn't recognize my scanner (and repeated emails to support @ SilverFast went unanswered).
Vuescan loaded fine. Although steep leaning curve for me!
The point of this post:
My old Umax is NEW again...After extensive testing between the old PowerColor software and the Vuescan I now have much sharper scans and damn-near total control over my images!
It is 'night & day' difference with 'sharpness' using the Vuescan and the old PowerColor. I had no idea an $80 software could make that much difference! Geeze...
So, I'm no longer in a hurry to buy another scanner (for the moment...)
Just my observations. And a positive end-result for me...
(BTW, I am NOT associated with Vuescan)
