Hi Mark ...
I shall try moving the scanner and let you know...
Sounds like dark noise from the CCD's, but could also be electronic
interference. One thing you can try (but if you are down to dark noise it
is unlikely to help) - at the handle end of the slide holder, there is a

Does anyone know if the $45US upgrade includes both SilverFast Ai and HDR?
I think it does but I've always been confused about HDR. My Polaroid 5.5
upgrade allows me to save raw scans, that's HDR ain't it? (Scan
PC World (I got my copy just 2 hours ago) has some comments on DVD-RW and
DVD-RAM. Not enough info, IMO, but a start. DVD holds a lot of data (up to
14 MB). Down side: if it goes bad, you *lose* a lot of data!
AFAICT, there's no clear-cut winner for storage--maybe the answer is to

What CDRs would be the good quality ones?
Kodak and Sony seem to be leading the pack. I've heard mixed reviews about
Verbatim, and while I use them for CD-RW, I'm hesitant to commit archive
stuff to them. I've had zero trouble with Kodak, but then the discs are only

I tried the web page viewer. Very interesting how my images look
after the conversion. Some are just as I normally see them and others
are very different. Some are disgusting and some are actually better!

always expands. There is no way to encode the random information that does
not take up at least as much space as the original file. Because of this,

I called the SilverFast U.S.A. office and got help. (They're slow with
answering e-mail.) They said you have to pay $45 to upgrade Ai and another
$45 to upgrade HDR. Also, they charge to upgrade each scanner you have. The
exception is for Polaroid since they use one piece of software for both
