SilverFast Ai (Canon) CommentaryOS X 10.5 missing in Purchase Options? - Version: 6.5.5r4, 2/20/2008 12:00AM PST

Well, in considering buying this (although I will try it first), I'm noticing that the OS dropdown selection stops at OS X 10.4. While the upfront information confirms that Silverfast is designed to work with 10.5, it always bothers me when the "order/purchase" pages don't agree with the "specs", but yet are specific about what OS version the software you are purchasing supports. Anyway, it has given me pause as I consider what software to use with my 9950F.

SilverFast Ai (Canon) CommentaryDoes nothing with Canoscan 9900f & Leopard - Version: 6.5.5r3, 1/20/2008 12:00AM PST

I installed the trial version. It installs, fine but sees no scanner. I tried the USB and then the firewire but SF still doesn't find any scanner. Now I've noticed that there is no way to uninstall it. This is a sign of truly poor programming! I guess they are too cheap to write a script and use an installer with the uninstall option. It figures. I'm going back to VueScan which works or at least it did until I installed this software.
