VueScan for Film/Slides

Plustek OpticFilm 8300i

Plustek OpticFilm 8300i Technical Information

VueScan is compatible with the Plustek OpticFilm 8300i on Windows and macOS.

This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.

It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass.

Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.

You need to install the Plustek driver to use this scanner on Windows and macOS. You might also need to use the x32 version of VueScan with this scanner.

This scanner is supported on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later if you first install the Plustek drivers for Mac OS X 10.6 or later (these will work on newer versions of Mac OS X). Also, run the x32 (not x64) version of VueScan with these drivers.

Note that Plustek drivers for Windows Vista or later will usually work on Windows 10. Drivers for Mac OS X 10.6 or later will also usually work on Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra).
