Of course if I turn all the options off and scan to 24 bit it seems to work just fine. Intel mac Quadcore 3 Ghz, 2GB ram, 1TB+ freespace on Raid 0 scratch disk. I'd be a might ticked off I had shelled out cash to find this out. I'm sure glad this is happening with the demo. Does this require the HDR module or something that isn't included in the demo? I have zero ability to make any pre-scan adjustments to a scan in HDR mode.

I've also had the software lock up a few times at the pre-scan phase as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.Īlso is it me or the way the software works. This occurs even when scanning a 35mm at 300 dpi 100% (<500k file size) PhotoStudio is an image editor akin to Adobe Photoshop, but more intended for quick touch-ups and special effects. 3-4 HOURS, yes HOURS! later the file finally pops open in photoshop or finishes saving to the desktop. Includes an installer for PhotoStudio 5.5 for Windows, 4.3 for Macintosh. It will perform all the passes it needs for scanning, then it will run the iSRD infrared pass and then it starts to "think". By forever I mean it will run through the scanning process. If I turn on multi-scan (doesn't matter how many passes) and use iSRD and/or any of the other options (aaco, etc) the software takes forever to complete a scan. I too have some serious issues with the software.ĭoesn't seem to matter if I use the standalone app or the plug-in (6.6.0r4e).

I want to test this on another machine to try and confirm this.
I am of the opinion that this is a hardware fault as my setup has been working for about a week. Scanning a Reflective at the same resolution works fine every time.

The software hangs and I have to reboot the PC and the scanner as it locks out the driver. You hear the scanner motors getting the scanner ready (maybe there is a calibration?) and then nothing. All software functions work fine, including preview, until I press the scan button. I am also experiencing problems with the Cannon 8800F and SilverFast.Īfter successfully scanning nearly two hundred 35mm negatives I now find that SilverFast hangs when trying to scan transparencies in 48->24bit colour mode at resolutions greater than 1200 dpi.
