It appears the minimal amount of work went into making this work on a Mac, which is very disappointing. Additionally, I never got the function buttons on the scanner to work.
You can avoid this monstrosity by using Mac OS X's Image Capture or the VueScan, but then you can't use the image restoration features. (It, of course, isn't Universal Binary) The interface is what I'd expect from some shareware Windows 95 program, not one of the top global imaging companies. And if you are a Mac user who is used to sleek, good looking interfaces, be prepared for a fright! Canon installs this terrible third rate Photoshop knockoff that forces you to scan within the program. Unfortunately, you have to use Canon's miserable software to access these features. It can also remove dust and scratches by using a separate infrared scan. It also has some remarkable automatic tools to restore faded photos. One simple USB cable provides both power and data transfer. Another plus is that it requires no power cord. It's also quiet and can be used vertically. The CanoScan 600F is an incredibly sleek, thin and lightweight scanner. Sleek sexy scanner, but terrible software! Mac users avoid!,īy Navarro L. I was impressed with the Canon 600F until I found the following review on Amazon: I have also been looking for a good flatbed for my new 24' iMac.
