SilverFast 8 & Lion
SilverFast 8 & Lion
I purchased a Plustex 7600i in July and got SilverFast 6.6 with it. I found SilverFast very awkward to use and my results were poor, so I continued to use VueScan.
I updated to Lion and I got a free update to SilverFast 8. SilverFast is still very awkward to use and gave me poor results. However, it must have loaded a 64-bit driver as VueScan x64 works, but VueScan x32 hangs when I try a scan.
Plustex really needs to make this driver available directly.
I find SilverFast's different versions and pricing very confusing, and the inability to do multi-sampling with the SE version is a cheap trick to get more money for basic functionality.

That's an absolutely sterling idea to install the demo version of Silverfast and then continue using Vuescan! Thank you for the tip. I've been dreading this switch as I'm getting new hardware that will not work with Snow Leopard so can't hang on with it.
