Sorry...I didn't know you didnt already have Epsonscan.
Sorry...I didn't know you didnt already have Epsonscan.The only thing it says is that I have a scanner with no software and I'm trying to find a starting point. The fact that my hardware is inferior has been well pointed out and well documented.
But thanks for the additional snub.
Great advice. Why complicate things if one doesn't have to?Try the Epson software. If you are happy with it, there is no reason to change.
If you feel limited, you can try other software.
if you decided to work with two or more different scanners. For example the V330 for prints and medium format, and another dedicated 35mm film scanner just for 35mm negatives and slides. In that circumstance it might be worth considering switching to software that could be used with both scanners.
A quick check confirms this, although there seems to be some potential work-arounds.What I'm about to say may be old or bad info, but I read somewhere that the Silverfast license is locked to a single scanner model... Be sure to check to make sure you don't have to buy it twice.
I've received my V330 that I purchased as an intro to scanning 35mm film. I've looked at online information and everything suggests that silverfast is the best. However, I do not want to purchase something that I wont fully use.
What are the reasons one would choose Silverfast over the Epson software? I doubt I'll shoot much color film, so the majority of what I scan will be black and white for use in cyanotypes etc.
Are there any advantages to using Silverfast over the normal Epson software?

The V330 is your weakest link. Cutting edge software such as Silverfast will not make up for its deficiencies.
EpsonScan>Professional>Configuration>Color-no color correction for max detail in the scan, adjust in post for best image.

4990 if you can find one.

I quickly got tired of not being able to scan my 120 negatives, so I picked up a 4990 for $150.
I used one for years and it did a great job. Yes there are better but it is more than good enough.

@MattKing Can you provide any detail or pointers to these workarounds.A quick check confirms this, although there seems to be some potential work-arounds.
Best to assume you would have to buy it twice.
I'm not going to be much help on this.@MattKing Can you provide any detail or pointers to these workarounds.
