SilverFast SE is a powerful solution from LaserSoft Imaging which combines the best of both worlds: high-end imaging technology for low-end scanners for a very low cost. We specially designed SilverFast SE for flatbed and film scanner. Images will especially benefit from SilverFast's intelligent auto-adjust and LAB-based unsharp-masking, which does not sharpen the color noise of single channels, hence avoiding the extra noise. You get many of the marvelous highlights of the full SilverFast Ai, such as:

• Patent-Pending Multi-Sampling for efficient Scanner-Noise-Reduction and Dynamic Range Enhancement
• Auto-adjust with artificial intelligence
• USM - Professional unsharp masking
• Color-cast removal slider
• Simple selective color correction
• RGB-TIFF and JPEG output formats
• SRD - smart removal of defects
• ACR - adaptive color restoration
• GANE - grain & noise elimination
