Use iSRD to auto-detect and remove dust and scratches from the image. Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully. Removing them one-by-one takes a tremendous amount of time, since often hundreds or thousands of small defects (dust grains or lint) are found on the original image, which only become visible after digitization. Plustek OpticFilm have a reliable solution to this problem. The OpticFilm 8200i scanner has an infrared channel that finds all the the dust and scratches on the film surface. Infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it. iSRD utilizes this behavior as follows (Automatic) Step 1 : Use white light for regular RGB scan. Step 2 : Use infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only. Step 3 : Maker the dust and scratch on image. Step 4 : Calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details. In conclusion, OpticFilm 8200i Series can automatically remove the dust and scratches from the scanned image. Dust and scratches are removed during the scanning process eliminating the need for post-process removal of dust and scratches. How to install Silverfast Software 1.

Review: A great 35mm film scanner - This scanner has all the features that I could want. At first the interface looked a bit daunting, but that is because it can do so much to perfect the end results. The only thing I find is that that the preset negative film types do not include some which I have used. Other adjustments make up for this. With high scan resolutions, very good quality picture files can be produced.
Review: Poor technical help .Non current version .Going back . - Item arrived promptly and well packaged . Customer help from the software company was very poor . May have worked if the supplied cd could be used for installation but who does that nowadays ? The alternative - downloads from the website of Silverfast seems incompatible with both my Apple and Windows 10 and contacting customer service last week has really so far after 3 days just been an acknowlegement of my email and a suggestion I read their FAQ ‘s ( which I did prior to contacting them ) Perhaps if it was version 9 not 8 like this one they would be better This is the reason for return . It seems there is no uk based support - USA or Europe so can’t phone for help . Useless item due to poor backup and outdated software issues . Will return .

### ⭐⭐ Plustek ignorance.
*by K***R on 25 May 2025*

This is a great scanner for slides and 35 negatives. Colour settings do not need too much altering and scratches are almost always eliminated. The same cannot be said for black and white negatives although it should remove scratches and dirt in the specified settings. It does not unfortunately remove them. Yes I can sort this out with proprietary software, but it also means extra work. For the price paid it should do everything as specified. One of the bug bears, and again because of the price, I would have thought at the very least, the inclusion of a film holder for 110 negatives. This appliance would have gotten a five star rating. As it cannot give near perfect black and white results and is unable to do 110 negatives. I feel I can only give it a low rating. Plustek have no interest in committing to providing a film holder for 110 negatives and the minor update to the software. For the price it should have been able to do a lot more than slides and 35 negatives.
