This is great film scanner, unexpensive and excellent work performance.

And it is even better with SilverFast, isn't it
Kind regards

Hi, not a reply, but a question - still trying to find my way around this question thing and there does not seem any easy way to ask a question in the correct group . . . //
Anyway, i do hope someone can help.
Very recently I purchased a new Plustek 7200i film scanner.
It came with SilverFast 6.5 something that I updated today to 6.6.0r2.
I also down loaded manuals and have been reading solidly again and again but not getting the results I thought I would . .
Been trying to use the iSRD scratch removal. It all seems great during the preview and manual setting and I wait for this wondeful cleaned image to turn up in my Photoshop Elements 5 but all I get is the same scratched image I started with.
What oh what am I not doing correctly??

Dear Charles,
at what resolution and scale do you scan?
Best regards
Martin

Thanks for your interest. . .
I'm scanning for quite big files - 20 - 30 MB. - Yep, quite high resolution.
Trying to do it once - convert existing film shot into digital, clean them up - they are mostly very scratched from the original processors in Umtata, South Africa. All kept carefully in sleeves since 2001 - 2003 but obviously had a tough time going through developing and printing machines first time round.
Since posting I have noticed that some scratch removal is accomplished by the scanner/software system together but nothing like the preview images suggested was going to be achieved - I could see no difference to begin with!
When I go into to the digital scan in highly enlarges format I see the auto efforts, and often I am redoing those with a clone stamp for much better result.
It still seems that something is not working as it should?

Dear charlea,
are you scanning into 24 Bits or 48 Bits color?
For a test, could you try the other alternative?
Or are you scanning to "48 Bit HDR" ?
Then no filters are applied, at all, and the final scan will be as scratchy as before ...
Best regards,
Martin
