Hi,
My silverfast software came bundled with my Polaroid sprintscan scanner. This included Ai and HDR. I am thinking of upgrading to version 6.

The price of an upgrade to Silverfast Ai version 6 is $65. Does this also include HDR 6 along with Silverfast Ai6? Or do I need to buy both separately?

Thanks,
Nitish

I think that you will find that each much be upgraded separately. That means 2 by $65

Thank you Ian. Yes, I confirmed the same before I placed the order.

When I bought Silverfast for my Nikon LS2000 scanner, it came with HDR. When I look at the pricing on your website for upgrading from the product, it shows a price of $65. However, it appears that $65 is only for 1/2 of the original product. Is HDR included with the the LS2000 software? (Was there an error in me getting HDR with my initial purchase?)

I also got both AI and HDR bundled with my Sprintscan 4000. And the upgrade from 5.x to 5.5 included both, which seemed more reasonable...
Anyway, since I will not pay $130 to upgrade, I wonder - if I upgrade HDR only, will there be any problem using my current 5.5 AI to scan the 48 bit files and then open them in 6.0 HDR? Is there any new features in 6.0 that I will not be able to take advantage of? Is the SRD, GANE, SCC, ACR, etc, available in HDR 6.0? Any improvements in the actual scanning process that I will miss out on?

Thanks,

Patrik

Patrik,

You can coninue to use Ai 5.5 and scan the raw 48bit images to file. Upgrade to HDR 6 and ALL the new features will be available. HDR also includes Job Manager now so is pretty much complete.
