The VueScan Bible: Everything You Need to Know for Perfect Scanning (English and English Edition) Review
I've used VueScan for several years on a few different scanners. I've also used other programmes (notably Silverfast), so I wouldn't consider myself a beginner when it comes to scanning, and not so much so for Vuescan either. I was already familiar with the basics of scanning transmissive (E6, C41) and reflective media, scanner and film profiling. In purchasing this book, I was sold by the tag line: "Everything you need to know for perfect scanning". I expected this book to provide advanced tips on getting the most out of Vuescan and my scanner. Specifically, I was hoping for workflow suggestions, curves/profiling information for specific film emulsions and enhanced/expanded descriptions of the nitty gritty in Vuescan.After reading the book over, my impression of it is that this is ideal for those new to Vuescan and scanning. The first half of the book introduces the reader to scanning with information on Vuescan interspersed within the text. Chapter 7 onwards starts getting interesting as workflow information is suggested for several typical media types. These workflows though aren't as much a discussion of advanced workflow options or trade-offs, or suggestions on how various Vuescan settings might affect/improve/detract from the desired output for the selected media type, rather it is a cookbook style step-by-step instruction on how to scan. In my opinion everything in the first seven chapters of this book can be easily found on the Hamrick site or via a quick survey of various online sources on scanning. What I did find very useful were Chapters 8 through 13 - chapters with reference information on each option in Vuescan. These chapters provide detailed information on the various settings as well as the author's insights. These are useful and are something that I find myself going back to occasionally.
To conclude, I think this is a great book for beginners to scanning or Vuescan, but those already versed with the Vuescan or advanced "scanners" might be better off elsewhere.
