Once in a great while I come across something exciting. Then I have to take a step back from the edge and ponder whether it's just too good to be true. Case in point:

It isn't a panacea but it has a very impressive bag of tricks for the money.

But as I played with the VueScan demo, I quickly got excited. That simple-looking interface is actually quite functional and logical (read: user-friendly) -- a big plus in my book.

I may find that the initial positive impression of interface fades with use. There are lots of interactions between controls such that changing a setting on one tab may well silently change the interface and/or settings on another tab. At this point, I find the interface rather frustrating to use. It seems more like a big pile of knobs and buttons than anything with an interface design built around actual production tasks. (Disclaimer: the author updates the program at least once a week and it has probably been several months since I used it so who knows what has changed.)

The only nit I have to pick is that the VueScan preview window does not quite match the preview in PS7, though it's close... I don't know if VueScan uses the monitor profile for its preview (which can be as large as your whole screen, BTW -- very nice).

VueScan has gotten more ICC savvy recently but I've never trusted the on-screen display colors. I queried the author once and got an explanation that didn't make sense. Anyway, I haven't used it much since it gained ICC capabilities so things may have improved.
