If I kept like with like, they worked well. Those I did have to separate based on the time frames because if I did a preview with an inside pic and a snow day pic, one of them would not come out. The box says Kodak but the slides are only stamped with the month and no other info. Mine were a mix of Kodachrome, Etchachrome and one box that I have no idea about, except they were taken in 4 varied conditions over the span of 4 months in the early 80s (inside December and April, outside in the snow (grey) and outside in the spring (sunny). It’s a little more hands on than negatives as you can only load 4 slides at a time. I know two days sounds like a lot but I wasn’t sitting over it, rather I let it work behind me as I was working. I spent the last two days scanning 7 boxes of slides using the Epson V600 and the older Epson software, on professional mode. The software installer puts their prefs, samples, etc. The doc installer is very simple but wants to put everything in /Users/Shared/ which is a tad odd. *Using Suspicious Package I always peek at installer packages with SP to see what they’re up to. Maybe looking through the manual will have something enticing enough to prod me into getting all set up. I did extract the pdfs from the documentation installer package*. I won’t install it or the epson drivers until there’s a scanner to connect to though there’s already enough cruft on my systems. It looks like silverfast might run on sierra though maybe not iSDR. This seems to be a silverfast proprietary thing, presumably it will still work well enough since the basic techniques have now been around for a long time. I missed reading all of the words on the epson driver page–“This software includes iSRD®, an Infrared Dust and Scratch Removal tool that you can use in lieu of Digital ICE”. Turns out that it doesn’t actually do ICE. Hopefully the key will work if I ever get that far I don’t need yet more accounts. They gave me an activation key, but in a different page they say you have to create an account and don’t need a key. I managed to find my serial number without excavating the closet, and it was accepted! so I downloaded silverscan se 8.8. If that doesn’t work, something is amiss somewhere. You’ll need to download the epson drivers from the sierra compatible page, which is dated 10/13/14. Epson Scan 2 is in the mojave+ sections, and it needs mojave or later.
