Is 8 faster to use than 6?

[Landyman130]

I have the Plustek Opticfilm 7600i with bundled SilverFast (UScan-SE).8ba (vers.6.6.1r5).

I've not been using it since early last year due to an eye problem. I've recently received an e-mail offering me an upgrade to the new SilverFast 8.

Going to the website, I've downloaded the 'silverfast8quickguide_en_2012-4-11.pdf' and looked at page 13. It would appear that the name for every scan has to be typed in manually for every image.

This to me was a major weakness and part of the slow repetitive manual effort in using the software. When I scan with a low cost HP all-in-one priner/scanner, it automatically increments the filename.

The WorkflowPilot mentioned in the 'Preface' (Pg 3), suggests it's easy to work with, but 'easy' is not necessarily 'fast' as the name, 'SilverFast' implies.

A lot is made of the 'Multi-Exposure', which if my memory is correct, I already have in the software V-6 indicated above.

What do I gain by spending 59,50 € ?

If you do not change the file name it will be automatically numbered like this:

file
file (1)
file (2)
...

The Workflow pilot offers ways to learn certain procedures.
So you know which steps to take while scanning in normal mode.

kind regards,
