There have been some bugs in Silverfast 5.5 and the CMS settings. Update to
5.5.0 r 16. ( you find it at
Silverfast home page) I have no trouble with my MAC G4 and LS2000, LS4000.
Best regards Mikael Risedal

Hello all!
I simply cannot make SilverFast work well. (Version 5.5.0r14, NK LS-2000,
Mac OS 9.1, PS 6.0.1) Negatives scan with a nasty green cast and are
usually
too dark and muddy. I have set up color management correctly in PS; I
believe I have also done so in SF (the manual is gibberish, but a
knowledgeable user kindly assisted me). I have read Ian's clear and logical
tutorials. I have carefully chosen perfectly exposed negs with a wide color
range. I have tried every one of the settings available.
SilverFast costs something absurd like $350 US to support ONE scanner
family. VueScan costs $40 US to support scanners I never heard of! All of
them! And it WORKS! It's ugly as a warthog, about as intuitive as, well,
SilverFast, but it by God works! Yes, we could use profiles for some new
Fuji films (I bet Kodak has that data available by now.), and a slide or
two
would do not harm, but the damn thing FUNCTIONS. (Even though Ed seems to
have hired SilverFast's tech writers...)
If anyone can explain how to make NegaFix actually fix something, I would
appreciate it very much.
Les
