I would appreciate some thoughts from those that use Silverfast.
It has a very steep learning curve. It is hard to use. It is unintuitive.
It has a very poor user interface.

Thanks, Steve. SilverFast also advised me to set the marching ants frame
inside of where they were supposed to be. I tried it and it didn't work for
me. But when I was finally able to get a new serial number for the 5.5
upgrade, I found that I was able do an IT8 calibration with no problem and
Well, by mass distributors I was referring to BH, Camera World, etc.
Most things nikon are sold at or near cost by these folks. They aren't
doing that with scanners because of what David had mentioned...
I can reasonably assure you that BH and others do not sell at cost,

Since you're asking about SilverFast, I assume you've already made up your
mind that you want it and are looking for validation that you've made the
right decision. OK, "Buy it, you'll love it!" I think you'll enjoy its
features and its flexibility, such as letting you do a raw scan with Ai and
Laurie,
Are you sure about that?
I don't know, but I suspect that the 4-color general/business application
inkjets also print colors outside of the sRGB color space, primarily
because, in general, some ink colors are outside of the colors visible on
the monitor just as some colors visible on
This appears to be making a mountain out of a

reinstalling Photoshop is not difficult, likewise the plug-ins and all you need
to do is back-up the profiles created by the previous IT8 calibrations. You

You've forgotten the dodgy help files that do little more than explain the
bare minimum and invariably miss the one vital thing you have to do to get
it to work.
There is no doubt that the possible image manipulations are very powerful

So what's the colour gamut of the average human eye and how much variance is
there between people's perception ?
I bizarrely found during the colour blind discussion that I could change the
hue of some of the colour charts such that I (CB) could very clearly see the
correct number on the chart
Obviously the wider the working colour space the more chance that most of
the colours of each real world colour space are represented and hence why

Me too.

Not wishing to sound to gloomy, but the advice sounds like a "we have no

Adobe RGB is a good match for printing. Bruce Fraser recommends his own
Bruce RGB as being closer to print than Adobe's

To some extent it's a question of cost. It's possible to calibrate the
scanner, the monitor and the printer

I believe that so-called Wide Gamut RGB is the closest match for the gamut of
human vision (which is very large); unfortunately, it is not a close match for
much of
