Re: [Digital BW] Silverfast 6, sprintscan 120 & PS problem

2003-01-02 by Lloyd O'Daniel

Yes, I'm experiencing that problem with SF6 on a SS4000 Plus. I can click on
cancel after the progress bar gets to 100% and get the file into Photoshop.
I'm having a far more serious problem that I have reported to Lasersoft,
with no response so far. I have noticed fine white line banding in the
center of the scan frame which makes the scans worthless for printing. I'm
pretty sure this did not occur with v5.5 scans on the same scanner, but
would have to reinstall and rescan to make sure. I AM sure that the banding
does not occur with Polacolor Insight or with Vuescan.
