Bad results scanning slides

Postby alessio.liquori » Thu Apr 10, 2014 1:10 pm

I always get very bad results scanning slides with my Plustek Opticfilm 8100: they are underexposed, very shrouded, the colours are innatural and there is a lot of digital noise (above all in red areas).

I found in other threads of this forum that the issue could be solved by updating the drivers.

I would like to have from the Admin a comprehensive guide to how to update the driver for my scanner: how to download it, how to install it and - above all! - how to disinstall the previous version, being sure that every old file has been wiped away from my computer.

My OS is Windows 7 32 bit.

Thanks in advance.

Dear customer,

On Windows systems you simply download the latest driver installation file from the Plustek website.
It will first uninstall the old driver and then in a second run install the new one.
Make sure your scanner is not switched on, so the driver can be removed.

Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.
