I had checked out VuScan a couple of years ago on Win7 but the capabilities to remove imperfections and control the RBG settings is not as rich. Found an old CD with WinXP SP3 on it but qemu-kvm would not pass the CD to the VM creation process. Ended up moving everything to a USB stick. Successfully created the VM and installed the software. Next step is to hook up the USB scanner, pass it to the VM and test.
