"VueScan 8.3.75 is much faster with CPU-intensive scanning tasks, such as removing dust from slides, descreening, and restoring colors. Modern film scanners can produce hundreds of GBytes of scan data, so any speed improvements are very noticeable."

VueScan is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. VueScan offers options for scanning faded slides and prints and automatically adjusts images to optimum color balance that reduces the need to manually do this in Photoshop.

It includes built-in IT8 color calibration of scanners, producing colors that look true to life, batch scanning and other advanced and powerful scanning and productivity features, including PDF output.
