Done properly the quality will be better than flatbed, can even be faster. But better than flatbed scanning, although even more tedious, is to use your digital SLR and appropriate optical attachments to scanograph your film originals. You can try Vuescan and see if that works for you. The control of transparency scanning in the software built into x86 macos (have not and don't plan to use ARM based MacOS) has minimal controls for and is essentially useless for transparency scanning although ok for basic document scanning. You can research why this is the case, a combination of Apple truculence and what is a tiny market for OEMs vs cost of updating software.
I have not used flatbed Epson in a while but when I did Epson support for the flatbed transparency scanner I had stopped with whatever version of MacOS was in use when the scanner was first sold. Canon has not updated Canonscan since, I believe, High Sierra (could be wrong) for MacOS. That software allows full use of the transparency mode of applicable scanners. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.Welcome to the world of Apple peripheral support where Apple writes sort of universal drivers and OEMs abandon whatever, if any, operating software they wrote for their peripherals in a prior version of MacOS.Īn example: the Canonscan software for older Canon flat top scanners has worked/been updated for several versions of Windows. I just can't get it to see the scanner and as I am relatively new to the OSX world I have reached my limitations in diagnosing the problem or trying solutions. The FAQ files on veho's website talk about needing USB2 but surely USB3 is ok.maybe that's the problem. I checked in system information and it shows there giving the following information:. I've checked in Printers and scanners and it's not there, I even tried removing my printer in case of conflict but still nothing. I installed the software on my rMBP and the device lights up when connected to USB but in the accompanying software (Media Impressions) when I press 'acquire' there is 'no device detected'.
I was bought the Veho VFS-002 as a xmas present as I have hundreds of slides that need to be scanned and it's one of the few that claim to be OSX compatible.
