I just bought an Epson 3200 scanner, which seems to be a good unit for both traditional flatbed scanning and scanning photo negatives and slides. Unfortunately, the unit ships with software that does not recognize MacOS-10.3. There is a replacement for the Epson Scan program and photoshop plugin on the Epson support site. Epson refuses to upgrade the LaserSoft SilverFast SE to a version that is compatible with MacOS-10.3.
Before I shell out $40 to LaserSoft for the upgrade of SilverFast SE, is this a good idea, or is there other scanning software that is better for slides and negatives?
Also, is there a reliable way to shift the scanning program between Image Capture (for faxes and the like), Epson Scan (for simple photos), and SilverFast SE (for negatives and slides that need some work)? I find that I have to turn off the scanner and kill whatever program was using the scanner before I can get another program to connect to the scanner.
Thanks,
