Beside others, the multitasking capability of SilverFast 8 is a real feature highlight. It allows the user to follow a new way of working, which I have so far not seen in any scanner software.
For example, if several originals should be scanned in a row, the user can already set the image optimization adjustments of the second scan, while the scanner captures the first original.
Note: For using Multi-Tasking during a scanning operation to set the image optimization for the next image scan, a flatbed scanner is needed, since it can take several image originals at a time. Multi-Tasking can be used with other scanners only if multiple scan frames are used on individual imagess.
