But it sure isn&#8217;t fast when scanning high rez. So I learnt how to &#8216;batch scan&#8217; in Silverfast i.e. place 3-6 photos on the scanner, select each, one-by-one &#038; set scan parameters. then batch scan Go!<br \/>\nIt means I can queue up a bunch of photos, set it going &#038; forget about it for half an hour&#8230;.<br \/>\nA good purpose for my old sandboxed Intel iMac.
