VueScan works with the Epson Perfection V750 on Windows, 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.
If you're using Windows and haven't installed the Epson driver, you can instead install VueScan's driver by:
- Make sure you've installed the latest version of VueScan
- Click the Start button in the lower left corner
- Click 'Computer' or 'My Computer' with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
- Click the 'Hardware' tab (not needed on Vista or 7) and then click 'Device Manager'
- Click the scanner with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
- Click the 'Driver' tab
- Click 'Uninstall'
- Reboot the computer
If Windows asks for a driver for the scanner, tell it to install it automatically or to look in c:\vuescan.
This should cause the driver for the scanner to be loaded properly.
You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.
Epson sold this scanner in some countries as the Perfection V700 / GT-X900 / GT-X970.
