@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. https://www.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.

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

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.

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.

In general, I support #opensource projects pretty much exclusively. Both in Linux, and GrapheneOS.

But ...

There is still a special niche that I think is very important, and it's those small boutique proprietary developers. Their projects are usually works of passion, and fill a unique need.

I would support them in a heartbeat.

Two that come to mind are #VueScan, and #Obsidian. They both just do their thing, and do it extremely well.

There are probably many many more.

Didn't realize that #Vuescan can now stitch scanned images too! Saves me from using a separate stitch program. Will need to try this to scan some of those horrendous college marksheets.

@rstub Maybe that's where I went wrong? My first #negadoctor frame was part leader, part exposed image. Here's a result frame versus #Vuescan result. EDIT: And a 4th frame straight from Filmomat #SmartConvert demo. #BelieveInFilm

Ich habe hier ja #VueScan mit einem #ScanSnap #iX500 auf #Fedora am laufen.
Nachdem das nach einer Weile recht instabil wurde, fragte ich beim Support nach.
"USB-Kabel" war sein erster Tipp... und siehe da, der war richtig 😱 🤣

I love how #VueScan keeps getting better. I put off scanning a lot of instaxes and a few pull-aparts I had and in this one case, the procrastination pays off because now I don't have to be super careful about how I align the photos as the software gets them all scanned straight for me now.
