  1. @hilse I've got a sibling Brother device in the office and use it to scan documents as well as the occasional photograph and found it working as reliably as I hoped.
    Obviously, stacks of thin, glossy paper are a challenge for the feeder, as are crumpled old dusty pages.
    Scan quality is pretty good IMO -- on par with my much older Canon flatbed photo scanner.
    I'm using VueScan, paid version, by the way. The only scanner software I ever purchased, and the only scanner software I ever recommended. hamrick.com/ offers a free version which is good for a first test, but after that, you probably want the pro edition if you think about automatic feeder.

  6. Olen käyttänyt #Vuescan'ia vuosikaudet, ja vasta nyt törmäsin ensimmäiseen #bugi'in: jos skannaa tiedoston JPEG-XL-muotoon, ohjelma kaatuu avattuaan esikatseluohjelman. En tosin tiedä miten kävisi, jos ei käyttäisi ulkoista esikatseluohjelmaa lainkaan – sehän on itse asiassa oletusasetus. #atkjuttuja #linux

  11. I purchased a one-time license for #VueScan (apparently about a year ago) to run my ancient scanner under Linux, and this morning I got this email. I was almost shocked how straightforward, helpful, and considerate it was. I've gotten so used to software companies leaning into dark patterns and outright scamminess that I'd almost forgotten what it's like when a business respects its customers.

  15. Pro Tip: if you're scanning large paper and you need to stitch these scans easily, then Hugin (the default Linux stitching panorama tool) isn't what you're after. It's too complex for its own good. Instead, VueScan now can stitch automatically, without having to purchase it. The stitching process doesn't create a watermark (unlike its own scans).

    Here's the stitching of an A3 painting of mine, scanned on an A4 scanner in 3 passes, and then stitched w/ VueScan.
