Background Knowledge
What is VueScan? Developed by Ed Hamrick, VueScan is a computer program for image scanning.

Why you may consider uninstalling VueScan on your Mac? VueScan can be downloaded for free. But with the trial version of VueScan, a watermark is placed on all image scans until you purchases a VueScan license. If you are not a fan of VueScan, then you can simply uninstall it from your Mac by following this easy tutorial (Learn How To Uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader on Mac Mojave).
