Summary: Not only Mac but Windows to...
Comment: The "Silverfast SE plus Mac Os" inference is very misleading in the title of this scanner. After researching the model no. and checking on the Plustek Website; I rolled the dice and bought this scanner for use on a Windows Vista computer.
As I suspected; the Mac name in the title is misleading... The scanner comes with two disks. One with the scanner drivers and basic scanning software... The other with the SilverFast SE Plus... BOTH for Mac and WINDOWS... So if you are a Windows Vista, XP or 2000 user; fear not. It is supported...
The installation was straight forward. There is a mild learning curve in the use of the software. However, I haven't yet come up to full speed on using it. My initial scans have been quite good... Stay tuned...

Summary: Good, works on a Mac, but not yet mac frendly
Comment: This is the second one of these I have purchased. The first on was windows only, but didn't say so on the Amazon site. I bought it through AntOnLine via Amazon marketplace, won't do that ever again. Ant would not take the return because they said they don't take returns on things with optics. So I gave that scanner as a gift to someone who uses windows. I bought this new scanner, now Mac compatible, but NO mac instructions in the docks. The driver disc had no Mac software. I tried the Silverfast software, again no Mac instructions, but DID find a Mac instal, after really looking around on the Silverfast disc. It installed well, weird install but worked fine, and now Silverfast talks to the scanner and I can finally scan!! But just to prove the Mac software still has need to improve, there is no quit command. You need to use command Q or force quit. But it works, it works well, and that's all I really care about.

Summary: Very impressive scaner
Comment: This scanner is a wonderful toy. Quality of scans exceeded my expectations. Considering that my slides are of very poor quality the results I get are amazing. Your own results will depend on how well you master the software which is very powerful but not completely user friendly. I scan 4 times at resolution 7200 and use automated Dust and Scratch Removing utility which is rather easy to learn how to use. Scanning of one slide at this resolution may take up to 10 min but it worth the effort. I do preliminary trials at low resolution to accelerate the process. Main issue I have with the software - resetting parameters. Manual instructs to press ALT-"Reset All" button. Only I wish there was one there. I guess you need to pay extra to make this button visible. Overall - great scanner for the price of a digital camera.

Summary: Plustek to the Rescue
Comment: This scanner is a marvel! It arrived less than 24 hours after I'd place the
order, and it has changed my life! I'd struggled with terrible name-brand
flat-bed scanners for years [they produced terrible noise in the shadows and
were dead-slow at resolutions above 200dpi] in my efforts to digitalize a
collection of many thousands of treasured 35mm slides dating back 50 years.
Not only is this scanner incredibly fast compared to the my old ones, but it
does a triple pass for every slide, then averages the results to produce
images that are beautiful and have no noise in the shadows. I've succeeded
in making wonderful pictures from slides that were terrible! One set, very
important to family memories, taken in 1969 at a special occasion, had been
unusable due to inadequate flash technique [they made everyone look like
stainless steel; i.e., no flesh tones and gleaming highlights]. Due to the
capacity to try different resolutions [up to 7200dpi] and then use the
remarkable software to achieve optimal tones, I was able to resurrect the
entire collection, with the exception of a few that had been hopelessly
underexposed. Trouble with finding the detente position for the slide carriage
reported for earlier/other models has been eliminated on this model. While I
can't just set it and walk away the way commercial processors would have to
do, I'm thoroughly delighted with this unit. Thank you, Plustek & AOL.

Summary: Its slow but does what it promised
Comment: The Plustek scanner has been great so far after 700 slides is working great. I use it with OS X Leopard. The photos are looking great and get a color and brightness tweak automatically. there are shortcuts you will use when you get used to it. Obviously scanning one slide at a time is going to be slow to go but the quality is extremely high and the files can be very large if you choose to save them that way.
Installing the program was a bit of a challenge, I had to register it online first before it would work.
I hope this helped someone to choose this scanner, it is really a great buy for the money
