Capabilities of SilverFast Ai for Mac OS 9

[Felix]

I appreciate the reply to my query about bit-depth export in SilverFast SE. I would like now to inquire about Ai. I could not find this information on the site, except as regards the upcoming version of Ai for Mac OS X.

I am using an Epson Perfection 2450 scanner which is capable of sending 48-bit color depth positives and negatives to Photoshop 6 via Epson Twain. I would prefer to use SilverFast as it is of course a much superior program. At this time my operating system is Mac OS 9.0.4. I will not be upgrading to OS X for some months.

Will the present version 5.5 of Silverfast Ai transmit 48 bit data, raw or otherwise, to Photoshop 6? Alternatively, will the upcoming new version of SilverFast Ai for scanners support OS 9 as well as OS 10?

I would like to purchase SilverFast Ai if it will serve in OS 9 (at this time) as a driver for the Epson 2450 Perfection and deliver 48 bit data to Photoshop 6.

Again, I thank you for your help.

If the scanner allows 48 bit output then Silverfast will support that mode no matter which OS is being used.
