Once you're familiar with SilverFast, you'll probably want to simply adjust settings as needed. QuickScan offers only a limited number of settings, so you're well advised to skip the QuickScan utility and use SilverFast instead. You have to set everything manually, or you'll most likely wind up with a poor-quality image.

Unfortunately, neither utility offers the kind of sophisticated algorithm that will prescan, analyze the image, and then set assorted features to reliably give you a high-quality scan. With the IntelliScan button, SilverFast will open on your PC.

With the QuickScan button, the software will, by default, scan and save to a file. To start the actual scan, you press either the QuickScan or IntelliScan button on the front of the scanner. After you finish each scan, you manually reposition the carrier for the next one. The carriers each click into place for each frame or slide, so you can easily line the original up correctly.

The first step for scanning is to mount a strip of film with a maximum of six frames, or one to four slides, in the appropriate carrier, then insert the carrier into a slot on the side of the scanner. The program will compare the colors in the scan to what they should be according to the comparison file and then create a calibration file to adjust for the differences. You then choose the IT8 calibration icon in SilverFast, and scan the slide. To calibrate, you first go to the LaserSoft Web site to download the appropriate comparison file for the particular slide that comes with the scanner. Typically, you would also calibrate the scanner as part of the initial setup. Setup was standard, with little required beyond installing the software and plugging in the supplied USB cable and power cord. I tested the 8200i Ai on a Windows Vista system. Also included with the scanner is a standard IT8 target slide, so you can take advantage of the calibration feature in the software.

SilverFast Ai is the high-end version, adding the automated color-calibration the SE Plus lacks.

It's one of the most capable choices for professional photographers and serious amateurs, but it's not particularly easy to use. SilverFast, which also comes with the Epson V700, is to scan utilities what Photoshop is to photo editing. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Epson Perfection V550 Photo Color Scanner Reviewįor scan software, you get the same Plustek QuickScan utility as with the 8200i SE, but with LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast Ai 8.0, rather than SilverFast SE Plus. The 8200i Ai offers at least two advantages over the Epson V700, with color calibration and 7,200 pixel-per-inch optical resolution, which can potentially provide more detail in scans than the 6,400ppi Epson V700, or the less expensive Editors' Choice Epson Perfection V550 Photo Scanner ($609.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), also 6,400ppi. Color calibration can potentially give scans with the 8200i Ai better color fidelity. Among the most obvious are the Epson V700's ability to scan up to 12 slides or 24 frames of film at once, scan transparencies (meaning slides or film) as large as 8 by 10 inches, and a selection of software that includes an option for fully automated scanning with surprisingly good results. The 8200i Ai ($499.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) comes with software that lets you color calibrate the scanner for images that are truer to the originals.Īs with the Plustek 8200i SE, one of the 8200i Ai's obvious competitors is the Epson Perfection V700 Photo ($1,499.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), which offers several advantages to go along with its higher price. Where the two differ is in their scan utilities. In fact, the scanner itself is virtually identical to the Plustek 8200i SE. The next step up from the Plustek 8200i SE, it offers the same 7,200 pixel-per-inch (ppi) resolution and hardware-based dust and scratch removal, along with a less-robust, but faster, software-based alternative. The 8200 Ai ($499.99) is Plustek's top-of-the-line model for 35mm dedicated film and slide scanners.
