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
SF SE Plus upgrade available for efficient Noise reduction and Dynamic Range increase
QuickTime Movies help

What's new in this version:

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.

Nikon Film Scanners now 100% Leopard (Mac) compatible - from SilverFast version 6.6 on - Version: 6.5.3, 6/23/2008 02:34AM PST

F. Meyers

Good NEWS for all Mac Users:

"Starting with version 6.6, SilverFast now supports Leopard for all 35mm Nikon scanner models (and all current IntelMacs).
Nikon Filmscanner are now addressed directly without any detour through the MAID-module.
With help of the patented SilverFast ME®, Kodachrome slides can be scanned with full dynamic range up to 3,8D for the first time
(without SilverFast ME® the Nikon LS5000ED generally only reaches 3,3D)."

SilverFast SE for Nikon LS 2000 scans into 48 bit format, too. ICE is supported as well. SilverFast SE Plus allows to use Multi-Sampling to eliminate noise. This way the Dynamic Ranage of the LS2000 is significantly increased.

SE scans only in low bit - Version: 6.1.0r5, 11/6/2003 04:47PM PST

it's only me

The SE versions of Silverfast only scan in 24 bit. To scan in 48 bit you need the (more expensive) Silverfast Ai. IMHO, not being able to scan in 48 bit isn't worth it. With high bit output support, you'll have a lot more bit depth to work with when you bring the scan into your image editor.
