So, the two are used together. That's exactly right. VueScan produces beautiful clear images which Readiris can then process. I always set VueScan to produce TIFF files since these are rarely used for photos, and then I set all TIFF files to open with Readiris by default. This is necessary if you want VueScan to hand over to Readiris without a hitch.

We used to have Omnipage Pro, but it hasn't been supported for around 8 years. > > We had one of those all in one printers and sold it because we could > not get the scanner portion of it to work with the mac.
