The image Auto Adjust functionality is one of the most useful SilverFast tools. With a single click the image is automatically optimized in terms of highlights, shadows and mid-tones. Even color casts are removed automatically. This easy to use image correction can be viewed as a good base optimization for all further processing steps.
Before applying the SilverFast Auto Adjust it can be set to the respective image type or special conditions under which it was taken. Therefore, a list offers a range of choices such as ‘Landscape’, ‘Portrait’, ‘Evening’ and ‘Snow’. A photograph that was taken at sunset should retain the reddish tint which comes from the long-wavelength sunlight. Nevertheless, highlights, shadows and mid-tones should be optimized. After a suiting Auto Adjust type has been chosen and executed, the user can go on to fine-tune histogram and gradation curve on the basis of this first optimization.
In SilverFast Ai Studio, the Image Auto Adjust is as easily to use as in SilverFast SE – one click, and the optimization is performed automatically. In addition, it is possible to configure Auto Adjust individually, this for example can be the very accurate setting of thresholds for black point and white point.
The image on the left shows a clear blue cast. For the image on the right, this blue cast has been easily removed with a single click on the SilverFast image optimization tool.
The time and effort spent in Photoshop editing and adjusting images produced by the Canon software far exceeds that required to produce superior results with the tools available in SilverFast. Automatic functions like auto-adjust, Color Cast Removal, and Adaptive Color Restoration have greatly simplified processing, and I have found that scans are significantly faster with SilverFast.
LaserSoft Imaging’s SilverFast SE is well suited as the primary software for digitizing photos, […] It offers a variety of settings and outstanding image automatics for color optimization and image correction.
