SilverFast SE for old photos
PostPosted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 4:06 am
I recently came across a large cache of old family photos - from the 50s - 70/80s mainly. B&W & color photos. No negatives. I purchased an Epson V700 expressly for scanning them.
However, I am rather a novice at scanning. What are your recommendations as to what software to use to scan the photos?
I read on SteveHuffPhoto that SilverFast SE is much better than the included Epson utility. It produces sharper images. I downloaded a demo of the program and it seems to rely quite heavily on manual fine-tuning of the settings. I have no idea what those settings should optimally be.
Should I go with another software that's easier to use? Or should I stick with SilverFast SE? If so, what are the settings I should use?
