## Description

desertcart.com: Plustek OpticFilm 135i Ai - Pro-Quality Film & Slide Scanner with 3rd Generation Lens System, Bundle SilverFast Ai Studio 9 + Advanced IT8 Calibration Target (3 Slide) : Office Products

Review: Superb!! - Since delivery last month, I've scanned 700+ 35mm slides (positives), some of which are over 60 years old, with the Plustek OpticFilm 135i Ai. The scanner was easy to learn and set up, and it has functioned flawlessly. Where it really shines is in the basic "Quick Scan Plus" software where you'll find an image enhancement tool called "Sweet" (access via the "Edit" function after the initial scan has completed - choose "Edit", then "Portrait" and then "Sweet"). Dark images and skin tones immediately come to life, and excessive contrast, which is a common problem with old slides, is softened. If needed, images can be further "sweetened" in Photoshop, but often this isn't even necessary. Photos below show before and after results of the "Sweet" feature. There are several useful tools in the software for achieving other remedial effects, as well. The scratch and dust removal function works well with small blemishes, but often misses larger particles and hairs. So it's a good idea to blow gently on each side of a slide or film strip to remove such detritus before placing it in the scanner tray. Other great features of this scanner are too numerous to mention. It is important to ensure the scanner has a "safe zone" in which to operate since the film tray protrudes out the back, as well as the front as it travels through the device during scanning. I'm using a piece of scrap 1/4" plywood, cut to the footprint of the scanner with outcroppings front and rear to maintain space along the path of the slide tray, and also to support the tray against careless hand movements (see photo).

### ⭐ SilverFast problems
*by S***S on February 5, 2026*

SilverFast is not recognizing the scanner, only the QuickScan works

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ SCANNER GREAT SILVERFAST NOT SO MUCH
*by S***M on December 18, 2025*

The basic scanner 135i comes with Quickscan Plus software which is more than adequate for the casual non professional ) user scanning old slides and old negatives( in my case over 55 years old negative for example. A little bit awkward to set up for Macs and a marginal user manual for Macs Did an excellent job removing minor dust and thumbprints. The Silverfast software part of the package is strictly for the pros and while it MIGHT be good for pros- it is nearly in comprehensible for this long retired Engineer and 45 year Apple user. A suggestion. When setting up, be very careful where you choose to save/file the scan results. I strongly suggest a multi gig USB stick/file. IF you allow it to file as part of your operating system, getting rid of the first scans is very difficult. The slide carrier and negative carrier work well but initial loading and extraction from scanner need to be carefully done and can be awkard.After gentle insertion, wait 5 to 10 seconds for unit to respond by pulling and setting carrier. Once scanned, suggest that check results and if need rescan do not remove carrier. Thus as a quick check scan at lowest resolution and i you wantg to keep or do better, then change DPI to maybe 3000 and do again. Did find that after saving, on my mac mini 4 or earlier with Sequoia the "Photo" application works well for adjustements. Note that if you scan to tiff, you can then use built in "Photos" for cropping and modifying, etc. I am almost completely lost re trying to understand or use or properly load the Silverfast software.
