[filmscanners] Re: Polacolor Insight version 5.5.x

["Ron Carlson" <carlson@olypen.com>]

Hi David, I presume PCI will support the SS4000 as well as the SS4000+. Can
I download it without removing version 4.5? If so, can I install it without
removing version 4.5? I ask because, up to this point I have only needed to
scan slides and my set up is working fine for that but I'd like to start
scanning negatives as well. This is a kind of critical time period work flow
wise for me and I'm reluctant to change anything that might make it diffiult
to restore my status quo. I have two versions of Photoshop on my hard drive,
why not two versions of PCI ?. As you know, I'm a big fan of Polaroid and
I'm glad you guys are hanging in there. If only Polaroid could swim on the
merits of it's scanner products alone.
                    Best of luck, Ron Carlson
