VueScan is a completely standalone application. You can download an
evaluation copy from
http://www.hamrick.com/
A license key is available for $40 for the standard version, with one
year of free updates, or $80 for the pro version with more features
and unlimited free updates. I've been using it since Ed Hamrick
released it for Mac OS almost 10 years ago, at the time it was $40
with unlimited free updates. Best $40 I have spent on software. It's
the only scanning software I've used to drive all the scanners I've
owned since I got it (it does a FAR better job than the original
software Minolta offered with the Scan Dual II, for instance) and it
provides me an alternative RAW conversion processor as well. Very
useful.

But is the scanning software a plugin and as such need a program like
photoshop to operate? Or will it scan and save to a file on its own?

I don't know what software Epson supplies with the V300. I've never

of the Epson software for either of the V700 or 2450 scanners.
However, I strongly recommend VueScan for driving the scanner. It's
got
amongst the best scanning algorithms I've seen with any software
and is
updated regularly. The V300 is on the supported scanner list.
Image editing is separate from scanning. Use what you like there.
While you
can do a lot of the basic capture needs in the scanning software,
scanning
software should be used to capture the data as best possible, not
edit or
finish render it.
