Version 6487 introduces a rewritten thumbnail cataloging engine. Previously, scanning a 35mm film strip with 6 frames could take 20–30 seconds to generate individual thumbnails. Now, it averages under 10 seconds on the same hardware. This is a massive quality-of-life improvement for photographers scanning archives.

If you print and scan your own art, you’ll appreciate this: v6487 includes an updated color engine that auto-detects paper profiles from Epson’s premium glossy, luster, and matte papers. Scans of printed photos now show less metamerism (color shift under different lights). Users on Reddit’s r/Epson have called this “the first version that truly matches what I see on screen.”
Ultimately, if you’ve been frustrated with Epson’s software in the past, give v6487 a chance. It won’t transform a budget scanner into a drum scanner, but it will remove many of the software bottlenecks that made scanning a chore. And in the world of utilities, that is the definition of “better.”
