vuescan - Ed Hamrick's scanner software
vuescan is an application for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that is
compatible with over 2100 scanners from 35 scanner manufacturers.
vuescan is commercial software but free to try indefinitly.
(watermarking the saved images)
vuescan supports many special scanners such as film scanners.
The creators update vuescan about every two weeks - without changing
the download file name. This will lead to md5sum failures. I endeavour
to update the SlackBuild every week, but the changes won't show up
until the next public update.
