VueScan Standard version works at 16 bits for B&W and 48 bits for
color, PS CS works for 16 and 48 bits for most functions except for a
few filtters; I guess newer versions work 16 and 48 for every
function. Most of the functions mentioned as new features or features
for the software you mentioned are old for PS, however it's true that
Picture... is cheaper and a good option for the price.
