What do I need to process negatives w/o scanner?

I am a little lost in the Lasersoft product concept, could you please give me some light?

What version of Silverfast would I need to use the Negafix function on digital NEF? Is it also included in Silverfast AI Studio or is the feature only available in scanner mode in this application?

Should I need Silverfast DC, what is the entry version that would handle Negafix on NEF files, and is there a crossgrade price for Silverfast AI owners? And by the way, does the AI 6 full version bundled with the Epson V7500 come with a registration number allowing upgrades?

Thanking you in advance!

Dear Alpshiker,

I guess you mean NEF files from Nikon Digital Cameras.

These files can be processed by either the SilverFast DC or HDR products.
The Bundled Ai Version of SilverFast is of course fully upgradeable, I think a good path for your update could be
to chose our Archive Suite, this would give you a SilverFast Ai Studio and SilverFast HDR Studio in one package, the Ai studio will
enhance your Epson V750 with Multi-Exposure and the HDR Studio will give you the possibility to use our optimised Archive Suite Workflow

As well as processing your NEF files with the SilverFast HDR Studio.
Please note that you can try the SilverFast HDR Stuio or any DC version before purchase.

By the way, I couldn't find a page that explains how products compare to one another. Is there such page, or a comparative features table?
