I have a negative that is overexposed and benefits from mulitple scanning. I have been using Silverfast SE Plus, which multiscans, but cannot save to a 16bit greyscale file. I take the raw output and finish processing it in Photoshop or PWP. I figured I would spend the $50 or so to upgrade to the AI version since it says it supports 16 bit. I assumed that as an upgrade to SE, it would contain all of the SE features. To my surprise, it does not contain all of the SE features and does not do multisampling. I suppose I should have downloaded the demo, but it never occured to me that it would be less capable than the program I was upgrading from. At this point I either have to spend another $59 to get AI Studio to get the features of both AI and SE, or just write it off as wasted money. Given that my main beef with Silverfast is the pricing policy for multiple scanners, it really annoys me to be caught in their upgrade trap.:-)
