silverfast scanning software download epson v800

The only way to do that was to upgrade to SilverFast Ai Studio 8.8 which has the needed export option built right in. My downstream software (Lightroom, ACR, PS) also lacked the ability to invert the image before applying corrections (yes, with a sufficiently detailed workflow I can do it in PS of course) so I HAD to get a positive image out of SilverFast. LaserSoft have chosen not to allow SilverFast SE to export 16bit/ch images from negatives in which the image has been inverted to a positive. When I started working with Silverfast SE 8 to try to produce files that Lightroom would handle, it quickly became apparent that SE 8 has a serious limitation with exporting. I know from long practice that it's easier and faster for me to get satisfactory results from Silverfast than from EpsonScan. So I had experience with the various programs and knew what I wanted them to do for me. I've used EpsonScan, VueScan, and SilverFast for many, many years but I've been out of the film business for the last 5-8 years or so and had to buy a new scanner as I started shooting film again. I just got the V850 and it was only a matter of a couple of hours before I realized I needed to upgrade to Ai Studio 8.8. I have not upgraded from Epson Scan for my V700 - I see no need. If budget is tight, my advice is that you can live without it.įWIW, I have SilverFast Ai for scanning 35mm and medium format film with my Nikon 9000. If $77 is not a lot of money for you and you are concerned that you might be missing something, no harm in buying it and judging for yourself. In short: my view is that you don't need enhanced dynamic range for scanning negatives, and you don't need to buy SilverFast Ai to get either hardware- or software-based dust/scratch removal - you already have them in Epson Scan.

I was interested in the Multi-Exposure which it claims improves the dynamic range of the scanner and possibly other features such as the iSRD dust and scratch and SRD dust and scratch removal.Sorry if I wasn't clear.

How long do I have to be on the forum to get a direct answer to this question: I am wondering if this is an upgrade that is worth $77.00 which it appears to cost. You basically defer my question rather than answer it and indicate that I need more experience to ask the question.
