VueScan is an application that replaces the software that came with your scanner. VueScan is compatible with the Epson Perfection 4490 on Windows x86, Windows x64, Mac OS X and Linux. The Epson Perfection 4490 Photo is a speedy midrange scanner that offers a 4800 dpi scanning resolution and a built-in transparency unit with support for 35mm slides and filmstrips.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.

It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass.
Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.
You need to install the Epson driver to use this scanner on Windows x86 and Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, this is normally already installed by Software Update, so VueScan should just work.
