In practice, it's not turning out to be that big of a deal. 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. 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. I tried SilverFast 6.6 before upgrading to 8, and the new version's interface is soooo much nicer. The 7600i looks to be a keeper-I'm seeing great results straight from the scanner, with only minor tweaks needed afterwards. 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). I've done a few tests, and it's pretty darned sweet. For all I know, this might apply equally to the 7600i Ai scanners as well. 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. Please make sure to run the installation before using your new serial.' You may download the Installer of your latest and greatest upgrade of SilverFast 8 here. Please replace your old serial number with the new one provided below. 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 6.6 to a new SilverFast 8 serial number due to an agreement with the hardware manufacturer. 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. I bought a Plustek 7600i SE last Monday from B&H, and took delivery today. I've tried to download an update (having registered silverfast upon installing it) and the website says my serial number on the CD sleeve is not valid or already registered. When the 'SF Launcher' is started it says 'SF Launcher v2.1.4' on the title bar.
The Silverfast disk says 'SE' on it and the sleeve has 'SilverFast SE 6 serial number for Perfection V700 Photo' on the top above the serial number. In oter words there isn't a command to import anything relating to the scanner. I've installed the Silverfast program that came with the machine and am not able to pull-up an 'import' command within Photoshop (CS). I just recently purchased a Epson v700 flatbed scanner. 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.
