It can give you a higher degree of efficiency to improve the image. The application adapts to the scanners devices and thus can obtain the best results and output. The application provides tools for color reproduction for all types of users and scanners. This means that you can turn on or off individual steps to see the differences, but the changes cannot remain off if you wish to continue with subsequent changes in the process.SilverFast Ai Studio 2020 is a powerful and advanced application that has new standards for easy control of various desktop photo scanners. Lasersoft Imaging claims you can temporarily turn on and off individual steps and observe the effect's changes. If you are working with DNG images (created in SilverFast AI 8) that can contain lots and lots of meta-data, SilverFast is apparently saving each step of your image correction within the DNG allowing you to examine your image's processes step-by-step. This allows you to 'step back in time' and select one of your earlier edits and continue from there.

By selecting the top 'History' icon from the vertical Toolbar (see image below), you open up a scrolling (horizontal) view of each step you've done.

Note that if you have AI Studio, HDR Studio and the Archive Suite, there are some added functionality with new special tools: A Marker Tool for decreasing and increasing intensity, an Eraser Tool for protecting important image areas, and Setup Masks for using different correction effects.īoth SilverFast HDR and SilverFast AI get HistoryĪlso new to SilverFast HDR and SilverFast AI is a History feature. However, if you've processed the image via SilverFast HDR and saved the image in the DNG format, any blurring you may have done can be deleted (along with any other changes) and then you do not need to re-scan, only re-fix the image.Įnhanced Tools for the new Dust & Scratch Removal Unfortunately if you've already processed the image by blurring the image to help hide the dust and scratches, you cannot backtrack. By comparing the pixels with dust and scratches, this means that this process can be done on already processed images and you do not need to re-scan. The trick here is that SilverFast 8.8 has new algorithms that analyze the actual pixels and compares what are pixels versus what are not pixels (aka dust and scratches). In prior releases, as well as everyone else's non-infrared dust removal, often the 'Plan B' approach is based on blurring the pixels and thereby softening the image. This new algorithm is labeled as SRDx (Scratch and Dust Removal x) as opposed to their infrared initialization iSRD (infrared Scratch and Dust Removal). These latter two are significant because in both cases the infrared rays cannot pass through the the silver halide film emulsion or print backing. In addition, Lasersoft Imaging claims they can now work the same magic with black and white prints AND Kodachrome film.

The most impressive one (in this free update to current version 8 owners) is the dust & scratch removal without the need for an infrared-capable scanner.

LaserSoft Imaging's latest release of SilverFast AI 8.8 and SilverFast HDR 8.8 film scanning and image processing software comes with some very interesting new features.
