scanning 35mm xpan / microtek artixscan 120tf

[rainbowphoto]

I am having problems scanning 35mm xpan on my Artixscan 120tf w/ Silverfast 6. Currently I am scanning the negative in two pieces (48 bit HDR) and stitching them back together in Photoshop. This is pretty time consuming. If there a way to scan the whole negative? I can scan the whole negative with the Microtek software but I'm not liking the results. Any help would be great.

Dear rainbowphoto

I did post such a feature request for the MS AS 120tf and the Nikon LS-8000/9000 scanners quite some time ago in our internal development databases.
I also proposed this idea to product management and the president of LSI, Mr Zahorsky.
So I guess that in some future version of SilverFast this feature might be implemented.

However, I didn't know that this can be done with Microtek's own software until know. This is likely to increase priority to this feature request.
But I might this to be tested internally.

Could you kindly tell me which version of ScanWizard does provide this specific scanning mode?
Thank you very much in advance

Best regards

Scanwizard 7.1.5 allos it. That version has also corrected all the problems I was having with the others. When I'll be back home, I'll try the latest Silverfast release to see what the status is.
