#Vuescan vs lightroom 6 software

In this respect Vuescan just does what you tell it to do, and apart from a few initial settings doesn't really need adjusting from scan to scan. It tries to work too hard at making a good image straight out of the scanner when the best image for post processing B&W is a flat and boring scan.

#Vuescan vs lightroom 6 software

Some software constantly battles against you in getting a scan suitable for importing to Lightroom/Photoshop etc. I hope this gives you a reasonable impression of the reasons. VueScan, IMO, is a superior scanning software that gives good control over the captured file and maximizes the data to work with later in PS or similar. (Not relevant for C1 or Aperture as they are RAW processors). Regarding PS or Lightroom, it is always desirable to work with the best possible file for adjustments. Mostly I don't know which one's until I have viewed them, so ALL have to be potentially be up to that standard. OTOH, some of my images, both digital and analog, get enlarged to extreme dimensions. How much does it matter that your camera sensor is excellent if you are only prepping for internet use? Very little IMO.

Steve, I think it is best explained by comparing it to the sensor in your digital camera. How much does the software matter if you are going to load the scan into capture one or aperture or photoshop or Lightroom or whatever? Not trying to be controversial here I really want to understand what difference there is.
