Years ago while shooting for TIME Magazine I realized that great hardware companies don't necessarily make the best software - and as much as I loved my NIKON film scanners in the field, they just weren't producing the quality I expected and needed. Then I added SilverFast software into the workflow and the difference was remarkable.
I really don't know how this all works, I'm just a photographer, not a geek - but I do know that the great functions in the interface, ease of operation and an accuracy to interpret the original, produce better and faster scans than I ever had done before."
