VueScan is compatible with the Epson Perfection V600 on Windows x86, Windows x64, Mac OS X and Linux.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.
It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass.

Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.
Color calibration, with a standard IT8 calibration target, will give your scans better color fidelity. As with SilverFast, VueScan comes without a scan target, so you’ll have to buy one separately. The calibration also takes a few more steps than with SilverFast, but it’s easy to follow the instructions in the User Guide. Scanner profiling is the process of determining the precise color characteristics of a scanner or digital camera. VueScan uses IT8 targets (also called Q60 targets) to do this. IT8 targets are included with many scanners. You can also obtain IT8 targets from this source.
You need to install the Epson driver to use this scanner on Windows x86 and Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, this is normally already installed by Software Update, so VueScan should just work.
You need to install the Epson driver to use this scanner on Linux.
