Unfortunately my Epson Perfect V500 Photo stopped working when I changed over to 64 bit software. I was advised to use Image Capture although I still don't know if it'd be any good on critical images like colour prints. However, even if it could handle critical stuff, Image Capture has a fatal flaw. It creates humungous files.

Examples:

A colour receipt, that was a 258 KB PDF with my Epson software, is 1.3 MB @ 360 dpi, or 3.6 MB @ 600 dpi with Image Capture.

A two page letter, that would have been about 1200KB with Epson software, is 16.9 MB with Image Capture.

Thoughts?
