Manufacturers include Ricoh, Canon, Fujitsu, Kodak, Nikon, Panasonic, Polaroid, Samsung, Mitsubishi, and Epson, among others a full list of supported models can be found here. The third-party software is made possible by reverse-engineering drivers for more than 6,000 older scanners from 42 manufacturers, including film scanner and flatbed models. With it, Mac users can use their older 32-bit scanner with their Apple desktop or laptop even if they're running macOS Catalina. VueScan was upgraded this week to version 9.7. Third-party scanning software VueScan offers a different solution, namely support for around 6,000 older scanner models. As a result, many older scanners lost native support for the operating system, forcing owners to upgrade to newer hardware or use a different computer that retained compatibility. Most of the images I scan are about 8" x10".Apple's latest desktop operating system, macOS Catalina, dropped support for 32-bit applications. I'm not eager to spend $899 for the Epson Perfection v800 Photo Color scanner as I don't use it that much and most of the stuff I scan is fairly trashy, kitschy images from magazines or poor quality amateur photos, so the quality of the scans only has to be 'good enough'. I never used any of the Ice, dust removal or sharpening features I just scanned at very high resolution, 1200 or 2400 dpi, and outputted the images as tifs which I then fixed up and retouched in photoshop.Īnyway, it seems like I am forced to buy a new scanner for scanning old photos and analogue images.
I really liked that scanner as it was reasonably priced, yet made decent quality scans of photos.
It was an Epson Perfection V500 Photo and I doubt whether Epson is going to update the drivers to be compatible with Catalina. Hi, My old scanner no longer works since I upgraded the os to Catalina (os 10.15.2) a few months ago.
