Product Description:

SilverFast SE is a new solution from LaserSoft Imaging which combines the best of both worlds: high-end imaging technology for very low cost.

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. There are many of the marvelous highlights of the full SilverFast Ai, such as:
  • Real-time correction
  • Auto-adjust with artificial intelligence
  • Professional unsharp masking
  • Color-cast removal slider
  • Simple selective color correction
  • RGB-TIFF and JPEG output formats SilverFast SE's ScanPilot guides the novice user through the optimum steps for brilliant images.
SilverFast can also be upgraded to SilverFast Ai Standard with SilverFast IT8-Calibration and JobManagement. This allows batch correction and processing on the fly.
  • Version 6 Highlights:
  • Smart Removal of Defects
  • Adaptive Colour Restoration
  • Professional USM sharpening
  • Color Management
  • QuickTime Movies help
  • SilverFast now supports the following models:
  • FilmScan 35, 1800, 2700, 3600
  • ScanMaker V6 USL, X12 USL, X6, E3, E6,
  • ScanMaker 330, 630, 636
  • ScanMaker 5700, 5900, 6100, 6400 XL, 9600 XL
  • ScanMaker III, 4, 5, s400
  • ScanMaker i700, i800
  • Multi-Sampling for efficient noise reduction and dynamic range enhancement i700, i800, i900, and 1000XL activated.
  • Auto Frame Detection - automatically creates frames for all images in the prescan
  • NegaFix enhanced - automatically reduces colorcasts when scanning negatives
  • New NegaFix Profiles allow for more detailed corrections.
  • SilverFast Ai-HDR Gamma Optimization further synchronizes 48bit scanning between SilverFast Ai / Ai Studio and image editing with SilverFast HDR / HDR Studio.
  • 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.
  • When scanning with SE versions without default ICC or input profile, scans could on certains conditions be affected by increased color noise due to an otherwise minor bug as a side effect - fixed.
  • What's new in this version:

      BUGFIX:
    • Multi-Exposure: progress bar wasn't shown during Multi-Exposure action - fixed
    • General: free rotation could lead to black pixels in the corners of the final image if angle was very acute - fixed

    This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

    • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
    • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

    SilverFast SE - Microtek CommentaryMaybe a good product, but customer service a problem - Version: 6.5r6, 6/29/2007 12:24PM PST

    I've been trying to use this to get my Microtek ScanMaker 5900 to work with my new MacPro. The trial software seems powerful, and produces a scan, but it hangs consistently on preview, with the only escape being to shut down the scanner. I contacted pre-sales customer support in mid-May, and after 2 weeks, finally got a request for SF Logfiles, which I sent. I received some emails that seemed internal about how they'd "closed" my ticket, and then after several attempts to get a response, I finally got a response in mid-June, that made it appear as if nobody had ever read any of my previous emails. To date, the issue is unresolved, and apparently unaddressed. I figure that if this is how they handle issues for a potential customer, how will they respond when they actually have my money.... I'm not going to risk buying this, to find out...

    SilverFast SE - Microtek ReviewExcellent Product - Version: 6.4.4r6, 4/12/2007 01:08PM PST

    This came bundled with my Microtek i700 scanner and I like it way better than Microtek's software. The only thing it can't do is work with the scanner's buttons. Microtek's software felt too much like Windoze, but SilverFast has a much better interface, even with all the windows it gives you. The instructional videos are an appreciated bonus.

    Dear Microtek V6USL and SilverFast users

    since version 6.4.1r3 you can define ( > "Options" > "Spezial" ) an inactivity interval after which the scanner lamp will automatically be switched off.
