You can choose a profile specific to your film from more than 120 available film profiles, which take the manufacturer, the exact film type and the film’s photoresponse into account. With additional sliders you can adjust several parameters such as the exposure; in the SilverFast Ai Studio 8 expert mode you can alter any alignment in great detail for achieving optimum results. SilverFast’s NegaFix guarantees a unique control when converting negatives to positives.
If there is no NegaFix profile included for your type of film, you can easily create an own profile with SilverFast Ai Studio 8. Just select a similar film’s profile and adjust its film curves.

The latest NegaFix profiles for your scanner are automatically installed during the SilverFast installation.
There are a few NegaFix profiles that cannot be offered for some scanners.

The CCR extension is a tool for eliminating color casts. Even if SilverFast doesn't contain an exactly fitting profile for a special film type or if the original shows a slight color cast itself, this feature can produce a convincing result. Color casts are automatically removed during the negative to positive conversion simply by activating the CCR checkbox in the NegaFix dialog.

NegaFix helps my color workflow enormously. I base my choice of film on the final results and not having to spend time to make my portra-scans look like portra is a real lifesaver. NegaFix profiles are adjusted to each individual scanner so you can be confident that you’re getting the right colors and contrast regardless of the hardware you’re using.
NegaFix is, for me, one of the biggest selling points of SilverFast. They have a lot of really great features, but in my book this one is tops.
