This appears to be making a mountain out of a
molehill surely. Defragging should be done regularly anyway, uninstalling and
reinstalling Photoshop is not difficult, likewise the plug-ins and all you need
to do is back-up the profiles created by the previous IT8 calibrations. You
shouldn't need to redo them. Think positive :-)

Upgrade Disaster
Thanks, Steve.
SilverFast also advised me to set the marching ants frame
inside of
where they were supposed to be. I tried it and it didn't work for
me. But when I was finally able to get a new serial number for the
5.5
upgrade, I found that I was able do an IT8 calibration with no problem
and
with the frame set where it should be. I don't understand what's
going on,
but I'm sure the SilverFast software needs some calibration of
its own.
Now my problem is that I get an error from Photoshop
when scanning with my
medium format scanner. SilverFast people say I
have a memory problem and I'm
going to have to reinstall Photoshop to cure
the problem. So first, I have
to transfer 20 GB of data from my hard
drive to CD to clean the hard drive up
a bit. Then I have to defrag
the hard drive. Then I have to figure out how
to uninstall
Photoshop. Then I have to install Photoshop. Then I have to
download and install the 6.0.1 update for Photoshop. Then I have to
figure
out how to uninstall SilverFast again. Then I have to
reinstall both
SilverFast Ai and HDR, not from a CD disc, but as a
download since I paid for
the upgrade. Then I have 5 other plug-ins
for Photoshop that also have to be
reinstalled. And finally, I have
to do four IT8 calibrations, one each for
the two film scanners that use
SilverFast and two more for a flatbed scanner
that uses a different
Photoshop plug-in. I sure hope that the SilverFast
recommendation to
reinstall Photoshop solves my problem.
