VueScan by Hamrick Software. Scanner software -- Mac drivers for about a billion current and older (otherwise unsupported) scanners. Great support, regularly updated. I use VueScan with an old Nikon Coolscan color slide scanner, and VueScan provides better functionality than Nikon. I can now use my no longer supported Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M sheet fed duplex scanner.


Vuescan is very useful and incredibly feature rich but it’s interface is ugly, and that’s also because it’s not a native Mac app, it’s written in some rather obscure cross platform application framework.


Agreed. It’s good software in that it produces good scans from a huge array of obscure scanners, but the UI is embarrassingly slow; it lags and redraws during interaction a lot.
