I purchased a HP4400C scanner.Can I use Silverfast?Which one?Thanks.

The only and the best way is SilverFast DC (light version) or HDR (full version).

I?m not sure, whether the HP4400C is upported or not, but try the demo version of SilverFast for HP scanners.

Thank you very much to both of you.

I've recently bought a HP4400C too - I currently use a SilverFast on a PIE PF1800 film scanner. I bought this scanner because the details about the scanner say it is "True 48-bit scanning". The software provided with the scanner does not support exporting of 48-bit images, it probably does do image adjustments in 48-bit before converting to 24 bit.

Does anyone know the facts about this scanner, it is physically capable of exporting 48-bit, is there any software I can use other than the software that came with the scanner. I just hope that I have not been ripped off - especially since I knew the difference between internal bitness and external bitness. My logic at the time was if "True 48-bit" does not mean exporting 48-bit then what does it mean.

Thanks - Mark

Mark,

it seems. that you are using the SE version of SilverFast for the PF1800. SE versions do not save the images in 48-bit, but the adjustments (like gradation curve) are still made in the scanners internal bit depth. If you would like to scan 48-bit files, you will need the Ai version of SilverFast. Try the demo.

Sorry about the confusion, I was specifically asking about the HP 4400C - wanting to know of the capabilities of the hardware and of any software that can make use of 48-bit output (if available).

Anyway, I do have the AI version of Silverfast for the PF1800 which can save all 36-bits, and am happy with it - though looking forwards to the GANE(TM) feature.
