SilverFast SE (PLUS) 6.5.5r5 (Mac)

Overview:

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 functionPrinTao is the new professional printing function introducing layout functionality for images and text. You are able to create your individual layouts with text and images at a high efficiency. The integration of image processing, layout functionality and printing by a single software tool is unique. 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.
