Product Description:

SilverFast SE Plus 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 Plus 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
SRD - Smart Removal of Defects (Dust & Scratch Removal)
ACR - Adaptive Color Restoration
GANE - Grain & Noise Elimination
48 bit HDR file output (TIFF & JPEG 2000)
JPEG 2000 support for 48bit High Dynamic Range Compression
NegaFix - negative optimization with 120+ negative profiles
AACO - Auto Adaptive Contrast Enhancement
Simple Color Management

SilverFast SE's ScanPilot guides the novice user through the optimum steps for brilliant images.

General: Corrected user interface annoyances concerning the scan frame(s) display in connection with use of the jobmanager if called from the VLT.

no, don't buy it, get vuescan instead! - Version: 6.5.1r1, 10/12/2007 10:41AM PST

I bought this, hoping it would be better than vuescan but it has even more bugs than vuescan and their customer service, well I'm still waiting for a email response (they have no phone service) and it's been over a week.

It won't "take' the serial number, still puts a watermark on the file. Silverfast clearly knows about this problem as they have a link on their web site dealing with it.

Save your money, and your time, avoid this junky buggy software.
