Excellent interface. However, we often need to scan 6 images at a time on our flatbed. Without our current Mictrotek Scanmaker software--which is very buggy--we can do an overview, set as many crop/selections around each image and click one button. The software scans each image separately and automatically saves them to disk--or opens them in Photoshop if we like.

In my opinion, Hamrick's Vuescan has a weak version of batch scanning as described in the help manual. Basically, for each photo, you need to keep opening the flatbed to place the photo in the same corner to avoid pre-scan steps. Not very efficient.

If Hamrick could do this, I'd buy it.

I've done batch functions by laying out serveral images (such as a negative strip or many smaller photos) and then scanning that to a file. You can then rescan FROM THE FILE as many times as you want by adjusting the crop/preview sizes each time. Rescanning from a file takes hardly any time at all.
