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
• NegaFix - negative optimization with 120+ negative profiles

• SilverFast SE's ScanPilot guides the novice user through the optimum steps for brilliant images.
• Quicktime Tutorial Movies inside each dialog explain and teach every function

  • Enhanced Automatic Descreening. The new enhanced descreening is able to auto-detect the screen of the original. The user is able to apply it as a full automated function without any necessary adjustments or as half automated version with auto-detection and user individual settings in a dialog.
  • Multi-Sampling for effective noise reduction got enhanced with regards to the auto-alignment process. Dynamic Range increase is clearly visibleSo much better sharpness is achieved with several scanner models
  • Auto Frame Detection - automatically creates frames for all images in the prescan
  • SF Multi-Exposure - creates a phenomenal increase of the hardware's capability to capture the full dynamic range, bringing out extensive image detail in both highlights and shadows. The following scanners work with SF Multi-Exposure:

  • Now Photoshop CS3 compatible
  • New eciRGBv2 working space included in all SilverFast Ai/HDR/DCPro (Studio) versions
  • Fully Automatic IT8-Calibration in STUDIO versions: Added a new feature that improves the IT8 calibration. The IT8 target will be recognized automatically and performs all steps until reporting success.
  • Epson Perfection V 100: now supported by SilverFast
  • Epson Perfection V 350: now supported by SilverFast IMPROVEMENT:
  • Minolta: new Negafix profile: Fuji Pro 160
  • Plustek OpticFilm / Quatographic Intelliscan 5000: new Negafix profile: Fuji Superia 400
  • Canon CanoScan 8600F: Scanner will be calibrated on the first prescan or scan now to avoid drifts in brightness on successive scans that could occur when scanning with a "cold" device.
  • Scan frame: Look of scan frame changed. Instead of cross-hairs for rotating half-arcs can be used now. Also active frame is blinking in order to be noticed easier.
  • Nikon: Fixed an issue with embedded Kodachrome profiles when using HDR scan mode of SilverFast and opening the resulting image files in Photoshop without processing the images in SilverFast HDR/DCPro before.

SilverFast is high-end scan and imaging software from LaserSoft Imaging. By now standard for Desktop-Scanners and available for over 300 scanners for most OS. SilverFast combines an intuitive user interface with highest professionality. Beginners and professionals will appreciate the intelligent automatic functions as well as the possibility to manually adjust the image at any point. The professional user can adjust any operation via numerical input and can precisely monitor the results using a densitometer. The ScanPilot helps the novice user step by step to a brilliant image.

• SRD- Dust and Scratch Removal
• SCC - Advanced Selective Colour Correction
• ACR - Adpative Colour Restoration
• SC2G - Selective Colour to Grey
• GANE - Grain and Noise Elimination
• MidPip4 - Advanced Colour Cast Removal
• QuickTime Movie Tutorials
• Multi-Sampling for effective Noise Elimination and significant Dynamik Range Increase Patent-pending Multi-Sampling with Auto-Alignment unlike other simple Multi-Sampling keeps the image sharp and infact allows for more Unsharp Masking since the noise is reduced or gone. This is the most important tool regarding quality for scanners
• AACO - Auto Adaptive Contrast Optimisation An excellent tool for the correction of dark, high-contrast areas of an image while preserving the details in the highlights. It operates automatically when selected but can also be manually adjusted. The intensity and the complexity of the shadows, which are to be lightened, can be adjusted without affecting the highlights of the image.
• Extended print dialog with copy function
• This new function offers the possibility of printing images or image parts selected in the preview. The selection can be scaled, rotated or positioned manually on the print sheet. Also a 1:1 print-out, similar to a photocopy, is possible. The position of the images on the print sheet is pre-set by the position on the scan screen, but can also be manually adjusted by the user.
• Picture Setting Dialog This dialog displays a real-time output histogram that shows the effects of all SilverFast Ai Studio settings on the final scan.
• Clone Tool A powerful 16-bit Clone Tool which extends the previously implemented SRD function has now been developed. Major defects and severe scratches on the image may easily be removed or corrected. Entire areas of the image may be removed, retouched and altered. SilverFast Ai Studio may now be used for complex catalog production - without the need for additional imaging programs or tools
• Unsharp mask PLUS The USM dialog and its preview windows may now be freely resized and enlarged by click-dragging the lower right corner of the window. Now a better control of the image is achieved before scanning which allows a much larger preview of the final sharpening effects
• JPEG 2000 support The support of the JPEG 2000 format enables SilverFast's strongest compression to process such data up to 7 times faster than any other imaging software. In combination with SilverFast 's HiRePP function even 3GB files may be compressed and re-opened very quickly.
