Silverfast 6.6 Nikon Serial

Posted on by

I bought a Plustek 7600i SE last Monday from B&H, and took delivery today. It came with SilverFast 6.6 SE, and upon registering it on the LaserSoft website, I was given a free upgrade to SilverFast 8, with a new serial number. Here's the upgrade blurb, following registration: 'Dear customer, Thank you for registering your copy of SilverFast! Your serial number was automatically upgraded from a SilverFast 6.

You may download the Installer of your latest and greatest upgrade of SilverFast 8 here. Please make sure to run the installation before using your new serial.' I don't know how recent the purchase has to be be, in order to qualify for the free upgrade, but thought others might find this useful. For all I know, this might apply equally to the 7600i Ai scanners as well.

I've done a few tests, and it's pretty darned sweet. I've used three scanners previously to scan film--a Minolta Scan Dual III (nice scanner, no Digital ICE), CanoScan 8400F (flatbed scanner, very lacking when it comes to 35mm film scanning), and Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED (it was a loaner, and was very nice while the loan lasted). The 7600i looks to be a keeper--I'm seeing great results straight from the scanner, with only minor tweaks needed afterwards. I tried SilverFast 6.6 before upgrading to 8, and the new version's interface is soooo much nicer. I like that it's got six or seven different 'sharpen' settings (including USM with the three value sliders), not just a generic 'sharpen' function.

How to upgrade a SilverFast 6 serial number? Dear SilverFast 6 Customer If you have been a previous user of SilverFast AI 6.6, and are now upgrading to our Studio-version, a few steps are required to manually enter the new serial number and enable the Studio-features. The same procedure also applies when upgrading. Q: I have problems installing SilverFast on my Mac OSX system. Which SilverFast versions are working on which Mac OSX systems? A: SilverFast 6.6.

My biggest reservation prior to buying the scanner was that it did not have motorized feeder mechanism--you have to push the film strip holder by hand. In practice, it's not turning out to be that big of a deal. Certainly it removes the issues associated with the automatic feeder malfunctioning (which happened frequently with the Scan Dual III and occasionally with the Coolscan 4000 ED). I'll post some samples later tonight. If you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer.

Plustek just announced 8200i SE and 8200i Ai--according to their US rep, the hardware is the same as the 7600i SE/Ai, it just comes bundled with the newer version of SilverFast. I've read elsewhere that the newer ones have a sightly higher dynamic range, but nothing definite. Kyuss Blues For The Red Sun Download Blogspot.

Still, I felt that for $300 the 7600i SE was an exceptional value.
