William C of this very fine list put me on to vuescan and it rocks. Dunno about batch scanning as I don't have a slide feeder...but you can do as much or as little as you like with it and it is far better than Silverfast (what I remember of it). I switched from Silverfast to Nikon's software as I felt it gave me more control over the image - pre-scanning, but Vuescan is better still IMHO. Will drive nearly any scanner too - which was good for me as Nikon stopped supporting my old ls-1000 for MAC G4 and vuescan has breathed new life into the old beast...and all for $40 - inc every upgrade... Eats a a lot of RAM though - that's the only bummer about it...
