Existing users, 
That's just bizarre. So, you're saying that until the developer spends the time to make a _scanning_ application slightly faster you're going to avoid using your scanner? That makes no sense at all, and I doubt the developer feels hurried by nonsensical comments.
Hamrick makes a wonderful piece of software and seems to focus most development time on _scanning_. It's not the prettiest interface in the world (for sure), but it supports a vast array of scanners and has many useful and flexible features.
I'm using a MacBook Pro. I'd love to see a Universal version, but my focus when it comes to scanning isn't to squeeze a few more seconds out of the software. I mean, if you're using a scanner thats so fast it is held back by the software, I doubt you're waiting to use the scanner until Hamrick updates VueScan. Is anyone really supposed to believe that?
VueScan
Scanner software for most scanner brands.
Version: 8.5.39
waiting for Universal keeps you from buying?

I would hazard a guess... - exactly! - Krioni
That's exactly what I was saying. I seriously doubt the person who was complaining has a scanner that runs so fast that the Rosetta emulation for VueScan is slowing him/her down.Ridiculous.

speed = productivity for some of us - sporobolus
i've had a VueScan license for years, and usually my needs for it are fairly casual, but when it came to cataloging hundreds of my dad's vintage prints, i did calibrated scans of each and the processing speed matteredsome of what VueScan does occurs after the scan is completed; on large scans i found color correction and JPEG compression can take a significant amount of time -- much more time than it took me to remove an image from the scanner, wipe the glass and position the next image
VueScan is optimized for volume scanning and so i'm sure there are customers who have Intel Macs who would tangibly benefit from a Universal version

... that the constraining factor is the speed at which the scanner head moves, not the fact that the software may (or may not) run under Rosetta.Reply to This
