#SILVERFAST ISRD VS SRDX MANUAL#

silverfast AI is included with the 8300AI while the XEs ships with silverfast 8.8 SE.

quite similar to the PlusTek 8300AI in operation using either a six position negative holder or a four slide holder.įrom other reviews, the XEs can resolve upwards of 4200 dpi when used in 5000 dpi mode while the 8300AI (which supposedly uses 8200 optics with faster processing) resolves < 3300 dpi in the 3600 dpi mode. The powerslide => 5000 dpi, powerfilm & 8300AI=> 3600 dpiĬlick to expand.an update: scanning and testing continues i scanned a couple of scratched negatives back to back and output of the 8300 was showing scratches and dust that were totally corrected on the PowerFilm.Īll units were tested at maximum optical resolution to produce 48 bit TIFFs for maximum post processing flexibility. The ISRD on the 8300 seems much more sensitive to dust and scratches than the PIE PowerFilm.

(silverfast requires going into the ISRD expert settings and manually tweaking the XY offset, while vuescan was updated to find the correctly align the IR defect scan with the RGB scan). both silverfish and vuescan are now aware and have solutions. during the troubleshooting process, we determined that the IR defect scan was not aligned with the RBG scan, so the removal algorithms didn't work properly. Initially, i was convinced the ISRD cleaning on the 8300 wasn't working. it's also scans fast enough that you need to stay nearby. for virtually every negative, i would have to adjust the frame limits in the silverfast software.

since that one requires manual advancement of the image holder, it requires the most user intervention.
