And I would be very unsurprised to find that trying to run SF8 for Canon and SF9 for Plustek leads to System-Fehler-Alles-Kaput.Īnyway, I suppose I’ll buy it at some point, but based on experience the initial release is likely to be a stable as one-legged Bremerhaven dock worker after a night on the schnapps. I expect I’d have to pay the same price again to have both on SF9. Of course, this only allows my to run SF9 on my Plustek scanner, not on my Canon scanner. Note the “new” prices though - not sure what they’re smoking up in there in Kiel, but I want some too. So, the Archive Suite, which includes Ai Studio AND HDR Studio, costs less than half the upgrade price of Ai Studio alone. Apart from some other unspecified “improvements”.Īnd how much does it cost? Well, as ever, Lasersift is very coy about this, making you jump through all sorts of hoops to get a price. I have no idea why scanning speed itself should be faster with SAC, or why it should be only available through SAC. Also, the blurb adds, without evidence, “you too can enjoy the advantages of our scan booster with the Single Archive Command” and “75% faster with SAC”. Basically it seems to be rearranging some existing deckchairs (auto frame finding, Job Manager, VLT), and is of use only for flatbed scanners. What this does is anybody’s guess, but it claims to be a “One-click-archiving solution”. Yes, we get the obsessive Air Force reference. Awesome.Īnd last but very much not least, SAC - Single Archive Command. This is apparently a web page where I can see a list of licenses I own. The actual layout looks 100% identical to Silverfast 8, with - and here we have to recognise a serious accomplishment - even uglier icons. I regret my cynicism, but I very much doubt that any of the outstanding usability issues have been fixed. Well, from the screenshots this appears to be a touch more lipstick, only this time also available in fashionable black. I wonder what Mark Segal thinks about that? So, the headline feature is a new E-Book, written by Chief Mad Scientist, Wing Commander Karl-Heinz Zahorsky. But this update… well, let’s see what’s new: Actually, it’s chugging away now on my Mac, but only as a input provider to Negative Lab Pro. It’s a weird time of year to announce a new product, but Lasersoft are a weird company (I used to think of them as eccentric, which has a certain charm, but now they’re just weird, as in irritating). A totally unexpected email popped up in my inbox yesterday, announcing the release of Silverfast 9.
