Silverfast with Howtek d4500 scanner?


Recommended Posts

I'm considering the purchase of a used Howtek d4500 drum scanner to scan my 8x10

color negatives, and I was wondering about using silverfast software with the scanner. I

have heard that there are some banding or streaking issues with this combination, but I'm

hoping these have been fixed in newer software versions.

 

Does anyone out there use this combination, or have any advice? Thanks.

I have the 4000 Howtek and silverfast. It is a good combination. Be careful about buying

used

Drum scanners. I purchased mine on e-bay. Buying one from a dealer is probably a better

choice. You will need a mounting station.

 

The Howtek gives beautiful scans with silverfast and you can run contemporary operating

systems. The problem is learning to wet-mount. It takes a little work. Although I think the

larger film like 8X10 is easier than small film.
