Comments about NAPS2 as an Alternative to VueScan
Most Recent Commentlian00As said before, my old Epson 10000 won’t work with Naps2. No problem with Vuescan.
Works flawless under Win 10, recognized the flatbed-scanner in one click. Now I can edit the scan before storing it. Brightness, contrast, size or a crop. A huge improvement over the deeply hidden default WIA scanner in W10. And all this luxury in a portable tool that’s just 5.3Mb. It recognized my default language without asking. Great stuff.
