Want to Buy WANT TO BUY. SilverFast PhotoCD software for sale?

[Kodachromeguy]

Hi Everyone, does anyone have a copy of SilverFast's PhotoCD software that they would be willing to sell? I have a number of Kodak Photo CDs where I want to extract the pictures and properly correct for the exaggerated highlights.

I wrote Lasersoft but they responded that they no longer support that software. I could not find any software archive site with the software.
There are some other conversion programs I will try if I can't find SilverFast's package.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have looked at the options. The older users said SilverFast offered the most flexibility, but if no one has a copy, I'll try another technique.

Digital Light and Color Picture Window Pro is how I extracted PhotoCD images, and it handles the highlights correctly. I know version 7.0 supports it, I don't know if the new verion 8.0 does.

UPDATE: I finally got around to loading Digital Light & Color Picture Window Pro 7 on a Windows 7 computer. Only the 32-bit version has the Photo CD deconvolution/interpretation functionality. And you need the original CDs because the software needs the index file to locate the correct full-size file. I had to retrieve from my closet an old Iomega CD read/write plug-in unit.

Results: pretty good. I think I could get slightly better files by scanning each slide individually, but it would be much more time-consuming - and I would just never get around to the project. This is an interesting example of orphaned software/technology from the digital transition era. These are from Skiathos, Greece, Leica M3, Kodachrome 25 film.
