Hey Mark, I never used Silverfast but have used Vuescan for a numher of years, and can say that the tech support, updates and ease of use are top notch. It is perhaps one of the best software companies out there.

I downloaded the vuescan trial and it seems to work ok, but the IR cleaning seems to be different than the SF. I didn't see a cost on SF but that probably means its very expensive. Vuescan wasn't that bad and looks like it will work with an old flat bed too. > >Would appreciate the input. > >Mark > > > > Foto/SFX, San Jose, CA 408-835-1184 http://www.aviationphotographers.org/, http://www.fencecheck.com http://www.myspace.com/fotosfx, http://www.portfolios.com/profile.ht...=14627.baldwin
