SilverFast vs. Plustek DriversEvery scanner manufacturer provides an own scanner software for its devices. Usually, these software solutions are not as powerful as SilverFast. Therefore, we compare for you. Test results are available below. OpticFilm 7600i | Dynamic Range | Dust and Scratch Removal |
Kodachrome & PlustekKodachrome slides are particularly difficult to digitize, the scans often show a blue cast. Using a Plustek scanner with SilverFast, you obtain perfect scans. Even SRD and iSRD can be applied. Info Kodachrome Profiles |
Professional photographer Mark Segal has put the OpticFilm 7600i through its paces in a comparative test with the established scanners Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED and Epson Perfection V750 Pro. Mark has used SilverFast with all three scanners to digitize 35mm color positives and negatives. Regarding the characteristics that are relevant for the scanning process like detail rendition, color consistency, dynamic range, speed and efficiency of dust and scratch removal the 7600i is hardly inferior to its competitors or performs even better. For this price range it's a real surprise!
Mark Segal concludes:
"The combination of the Plustek OpticFilm 7600i and SilverFast Ai Studio with Auto IT8 profiling provides a viable colour management solution for the scanner component of a colour-managed workflow. [...]
SilverFast iSRD works well with this scanner, which is a real boon to productivity in terms of obtaining clean scans in little time."
