In macOS 10.14 - 11.0, this step has been taken: 32-bit apps and drivers are no longer supported. Scanners lacking 64-bit drivers are not compatible with macOS 10.14 - 11.0.įor the last several years, Apple has been preparing to transition to a purely 64-bit system. Still, I felt that for $3i SE was an exceptional value.Caution when updating to macOS Mojave (10.14) and laterĪpple has ceased to support 32-bit systems. I've read elsewhere that the newer ones have a sightly higher dynamic range, but nothing definite. Plustek just announced 8200i SE and 8200i Ai-according to their US rep, the hardware is the same as the 7600i SE/Ai, it just comes bundled with the newer version of SilverFast. If you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer. Certainly it removes the issues associated with the automatic feeder malfunctioning (which happened frequently with the Scan Dual III and occasionally with the Coolscan 4000 ED). In practice, it's not turning out to be that big of a deal. My biggest reservation prior to buying the scanner was that it did not have motorized feeder mechanism-you have to push the film strip holder by hand. I like that it's got six or seven different "sharpen" settings (including USM with the three value sliders), not just a generic "sharpen" function. I tried SilverFast 6.6 before upgrading to 8, and the new version's interface is soooo much nicer. The 7600i looks to be a keeper-I'm seeing great results straight from the scanner, with only minor tweaks needed afterwards. I've used three scanners previously to scan film-a Minolta Scan Dual III (nice scanner, no Digital ICE), CanoScan 8400F (flatbed scanner, very lacking when it comes to 35mm film scanning), and Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED (it was a loaner, and was very nice while the loan lasted). I've done a few tests, and it's pretty darned sweet. For all I know, this might apply equally to the 7600i Ai scanners as well.Hyun. Please make sure to run the installation before using your new serial."I don't know how recent the purchase has to be be, in order to qualify for the free upgrade, but thought others might find this useful. You may download the Installer of your latest and greatest upgrade of SilverFast 8 here. Here's the upgrade blurb, following registration:customer,Thank you for registering your copy of SilverFast!Your serial number was automatically upgraded from a SilverFast 6.6 to a new SilverFast 8 serial number due to an agreement with the hardware manufacturer.Please replace your old serial number with the new one provided below.

I bought a Plustek 7600i SE last Monday from B&H, and took delivery today.
