Viewscan, nor Insight, nor any scanner software "produces" the scans, the
scanner and the scanner operator does.  Perhaps it's true that for someone
who wants the software to simply "hand" then a scan, Viewscan does a better
job at automating the process.  I find setting setpoints and adjusting tonal
curves quite easy.  Or, perhaps for scanners that aren't all that good, all
the extra processing options in Viewscan can be very beneficial.
