Art-Scan Professional allows you to get the most out of your scanner.
As our company founder says, "Art-Scan was our first product years ago and more people use it then any of our other software prodcuts. Scanner users will love the new version with its beautiful new interface, its improved features and its better compatibility with more scanners."
Art-Scan directly supports many HP, Relisys, Canon, Microtek, and Tamarak scanners. Click here for a full list of supported scanners. So if your scanner is no longer supported by your manufacturer check this list first to see if we support it.

Also many manufacturers are going to WIA drivers that leaves you with little advanced scanning features. Art-Scan replaces your WIA interface with this modern interface and tools. Or if you are just not happy with the functions made available to you by your scanners software, this software will replace the manufacturers software interface as well.
You can watch this short demonstration to see Art-Scan in use. Or view the help files to show you the power in Art-Scan. Below is some more information about Art-Scan features.

Descreening
Scanning printed material creates an unsightly moiré pattern in scanned images. Art-scan's Multi Level Descreening Filter allows you to remove this pattern by setting the original's halftone screen size. Art-Scan Pro removes this moiré while keeping the image sharp unlike most other methods of descreening.

Line and Noise Removal
As scanners get old, veritcle lines tend to appear in the shadow areas of the scanned images. In addition most scanners have trouble distinguishing between dark shades of black creating a fuzzy look in the shadows called noise. Line and Noise Removal attempts to locate these areas and smooth them out using an average of surrounding pixels.

Auto Rotation
If the image you are scanning is slightly rotated Art-Scan will automatically correct the rotation based on the image edges within the selection rectangle. You also have the ability to manually set the rotation of an image simply by dragging the slide bar.

Type of Scanning
Batch scanning is completely new feature in Art-Scan that allows you to scan multiple images all at one time. Traditionally, if you wanted to scan more than one image at a time, you had to put the first image in your scanner. Then, you had to preview the image and crop it. Next, you scanned the image. Following that, you had to put another image in your scanner and repeat the process over and over - a time consuming process.

Image Adjustment Settings
This is the easiest way to enhance an image for most people. Many different adjustments can be manipulated with the scroll bar. You can choose the option you want to adjust, such as Highlight, Shadow or Saturation from the Image Adjust pull down menu. Then to adjust, use the slider bar or the right or left arrows on the scroll bar itself. For example to make your image darker, choose Dark<-> Light and move the bar on the scroll to the left.
