Nikon scanner Leopard support from SilverFast
Many Nikon film scanners have received a Silverfast update that now allows for Leopard compatibility. Nikon originally told the owners of these older film scanners they will not be supported in Mac OS X 10.5. However, the software now runs on PPC and Intel based Macs, can work all the way down to Mac OS X 10.3, and costs anywhere from $400 to $512. That price will give you the compatibility as well as some newer, advanced features like scratch and dust removal. You can also scan one image multiple times for a multi-exposure option. Sounds great to me.
It’s nice to see a large company like Nikon cutting a break for the users of their older products and allowing some of these devoted users to continue to be able to use those older units. This also shows that Nikon feels as if they needed to release a 10.5 update for their users because many people have switched from Tiger to Leopard. I hope we see continued support of older products from more companies, as there are always people out there who can live without the newest trends in tech.
