Like most scanners, the software is not extremely well integrated, since it comes from different manufacturers. This translates into many clicks or key presses as you agree to all the license agreements and installation paths required. Images are reasonably sharp, but a bit on the dark side. Using the advanced settings can compensate for this. There are two modes, beginner and advanced.
Advanced mode allows a user to fine-tune image settings.
Settings can be typed in or they can be changed through a set of slider controls, which are adequate, but awkward to use. In addition, a multiple frame tool is offered in advance mode. The destination setting can be changed in the preferences dialog, but it's not easy to find. A more logical location would have been a button below the other tools. Once located, however, the destination setting allows scans to be saved in one of six file formats, including Photoshop's .psd format.
