I have a Super CoolScan 5000ED, not an 8000 or 4000. But I looked at the Silverfast, and saw that the the software is supposed to work with the 5000. But I am reluctant to purchase the $500.00 software on the chance that it would enable me to utilize all of the features of my 50000. At this time, I will continue to try to use VueScan to enable those features.
manual operation to set up each frame, whereas Nikonscan did it automatically, using defaults which were very easy to establish. Is that an issue with Vuescan?
