Other than editing that you could also do in PP, what are the advantages of using VueScan? I used the Epson V600 native software and found it to be adequate for my needs.

Terrible support. 'What's his name' never supported me after I bought it.

As far as Vuescan goes it an excellent program that I purchased many years ago. It’s updated frequently and when I mucked up moving programs from my old iMac to a new one and couldn’t log in to reinstall it, one email was all it took to get an immediate response to my problem and reinstall it.

Well - if you have a piece of junk HP 9018 OfficeJet Pro all-in-one like I do ----- Vuescan supports it and HP does not!!! HP scan app only scans at 300 dpi - Vuescan goes to full 1200 hardware capability.
BTW - OLDER HP all in ones, 2610, 8500, 8600 - better built and the HP app would scan to 19.2k dpi!

Have used Ed Hamrick's software since the early 90's (Vueprint), and later Vuescan, for a legal size scanner that had no drivers for the latest (at the time) version of windows. Never any problem with support and quickly received support when asked for. . I highly recommend Vuescan. I've found that it will drive just about any scanner out there, new or old. We still use the now free Vueprint, now Vuepro, on my wife's computer.

I would call Vuescan a decent, useful, versatile, low-cost ($90) scanning software. I doubt it's a very significant improvement over what came with your scanner.
Nice thing about Vuescan is that it allows some excellent, older dedicated film scanners to work reasonably well with modern operating systems.
A truly "better" software would be Silverfast AI Studio, but it's expensive at about $249.
That's probably overkill for use with a V600. Might be useful with some of the more advanced Epson flatbed scanners such as the V700 and V800 series (used to come with some of them, don't know if it still does). But AI Studio's real forte is old and new, high-end dedicated film scanners.
