SilverFast and Epson V700

I bought an Epson V700 Photo flatbed scanner, and with it came a
SilverFast SE disk. How does this compare with other photo editing
software? I mostly use Nikon CaptureNX2 and sometimes PhotoShop CS3.
Should I bother to install SilverSharp SE?

Thanks for your advice.
Mike.

My scanner came with both. I prefer the Epson scan.

Getting the full potential from one scanner programme should suffice and
far exceed your requirements.

Silver Fast SE is the lite edition. I do have a copy of the full
programme and tried that but went back to the Epson one.

Oh, and congratulations for your acquisition. What kind of material do
you expect to scan? Slide film? black&white film? Printed photos?
(this was something we forgot to ask you in your initial question)

N.F.

The main use will be for old prints, of which my wife has
a large number. I will also be happy to not have to go out
to get copies for routine household business.

It's not editing software, it's scanning software; hence it needs to be
compared to Epson Scan, Nikon Scan, and Vue-Scan, not Photoshop and
Nikon NX2.

If you are like me you will install it, try it and then use something
else.
