best third party scanning utility?

perhaps its just a cheap scanner that isnt going to make a wonderful scan, no matter what utility drives it….. but any improvement would help

I don’t know if they support your scanner.

interesting, will email them to see if they support my scanner.
lots of their color correct stuff is kewl, but i can do that al in photoshop.. the grain reducer looked good.

what i’m looking for, is the initial scan to be better than what i’m getting…..

Hi

I’ve got an HP Scanjet 4570c scanner. It comes bundled with some sort of HPscanning utility.

the scans arent terrible, but they are not wonderful either. Often too hot and too saturated, and, obvious "pixel noise" in the scans.
I can take them into photoshop and color correct and generally fix a scan, but, does anyone know of a better scan utility, that will make a really good scan, first time?

my stupid HPScanJet 5470c is discontinued, according to the HP website. So not surprising no one supports it.

damn. everything i own and use is outdated. this is ridiculous.

Right. That’s what Silverfast AI is for.

How silly of you, not updating everything every other month.

First make sure you’re not scanning directly into the Adobe RGB profile, which has a tendency to hot up the colors a bit. Use sRGB instead. If that’s not the problem, give the eval version of vuescan a shot at www.hamrick.com .

a shot at www.hamrick.com .

Agree about VueScan from Hamrick. Superb best I have found to date.
