What computer and software are you using with SilverFast. I had to go to

Download Vuescan for a trial run - it's the full program but inserts a
watermark unless and until you decide you like it and buy it.
I don't think any of us can tell you what will work best for you - we each
have our own ways of working and preferred software.

Vuescan is designed this way - it's designed to capture ALL possible detail
in the shadows and highlights, so the resulting image will be bland. It's
left to PhotoShop or your preferred image editing program to do all
end-clipping that you wish, and adjust the colors and luminance for rich

I take it from your comment that Insight does not have provision for
IT-8 calibration. Does it at least have provision for using the
profile made with Silverfast? What I want in a scanner software is
the ability to set endpoints, get essentially the same tone/color
balance as the original
I too have had this problem, but it was not so easily solved. In the end, I
had to start Windows in Safe mode and remove all the scanner drivers and
re-install them. Without doing it in safe mode it seemed to keep adding
scanner drivers! Using Safe mode was the trick!

No, the scan was not sharp using polacolor software without any scanner
sharpening on. It lacked sharpness in both Polacolor and Silverscan, both
used without sharpening as I prefer to sharpen using Nik Sharpener Pro in

I have copies of a friend's results using an modest 2yr old
Sony consumer digital camera on a 6x6 Hasselblad slide, and they're excellent,

As usual, it depends how fussy you are.

A3 sized print
(about 260-270 dpi
and that size)
Yes, if it's an inkjet print, because the printer resolution
is less than this (approx 200dpi sent to the printer). But
