I agree that $45US to upgrade SilverFast is not an unreasonable price. However, it's more complicated than that. A lot of us paid a lot of money for SilverFast only to learn that the new version was released before we even got our version installed and working. Lasersoft should give free upgrades
It's often easier to make the color corrections with the scanner software rather than with Photoshop (and I assume that also applies to Paint Shop Pro) because scanner software often includes film profiles, which is very helpful in removing the orange mask from color negative film. But a lot of
