Photophiles, a French online magazine for photographers and photography enthusiasts, states: « SilverFast Ai Studio 8 is the scanner software par excellence. »
We take a bit of pride when we read that professional photographers who have never worked with SilverFast before, are immediately pleaseed with their first scan results.
Photophiles attests that SilverFast 8 is designed for professional use as well as for motivated amateurs. Instructional video clips and numerous automatic functions are a great help during the initial learning phase.
You can read the original French article at the Photophiles website.
Rémy Pilliard: « Image material older than 40 years has been used for this test. However, SilverFast has delivered excellent results, and this although a little trial and error has been necessary due to our lack of experience. Also the HDRi functionality has been reviewed in detail and it has to be said, that all actually available image information can be captured with a single scan. »

Used with plustek 8200i and installed on windows 7 PC. It breaks down very frequently. I am wasting a lot of time.
It seems that the problem is caused by AACO function. As soon as I disabled the function, the brakedown message did not show up.
Dear Francesco,
after corresponding our support team, I would like to ask you getting into contact with them: http://www.silverfast.com/support
There are no known issues with the AACO feature in general. So it’s important to know about your special setup and SilverFast settings.
Best Regards
