What software do you use to clean up the photos you scan? The (trial version of ) VueScan software doesn't do nearly the job of color restoration, dust removal, etc. Photoshop Elements takes too long to process images one at a time.
I think that the full Photoshop application enables batch processing, with some hefty learning involved, but I'm not sure that Elements does. With MPNavigator, I would set up a scanning profile for a batch of photos based on their fade level, amount of dirt, texture, etc - and then run a whole bunch of scans at once. I'm using the 8.1 driver now with success in windows 11 but realizing that even that, I no longer have the patience for so I may buy a scanner with a feed like the Epson or Plustek.
Update: The 8.1 driver has been working fine for me. I also invested in a Plustek to make quicker work of huge piles of photos that didn't need special attention. Photoshop Elements does a fair job of batch processing folders full of faded images. I found that old photos benefitted greatly from the higher resolution detailed processing of the 9000F.
Yes, tried using CanonScan driver with Windows 11 but would not work. Got Microsoft support and they were able to get the Windows 11 scanner interface to work with the CanoScan 9000 but it didn’t offer the features the CanoScan driver did. Resorted to the Hamrick VueScan app.
