SilverFast 8 - the best scan software with an unique feature
LaserSoft Imaging has gained 25 years experience in the development of imaging software. The redevelopment of SilverFast has built on this wealth of experience. The combination of various innovative ideas and the integration of current software technology has created SilverFast 8 which is regarded as the best scanner software.

The WorkflowPilot, a unique feature, is a core element of the new software.
As a kind of assistant, it guides the user in the correct order through all processing steps required for his individual workflow. Turning your analog originals into convincing scans is so simply, because all complex operations become just a child's play for the user.
The SilverFast Preview Concept allows to immediately see the result of any adjusted setting in the preview window.
The user interface of SilverFast 8 is newly developed by current standards,
for the user can operate all major functions quickly and easily. SilverFast 8 supports the latest 64bit hardware and is therefore extremely fast and efficient.

The WorkflowPilot is an essential core element of SilverFast 8. This novel feature, which guides the user as a kind of wizard in the correct order through all processing steps required for his individual workflow, is unique in the world.
Depending on which material should be digitized for what purpose, there is a different workflow that will be worked on step by step after starting the WorkflowPilot. In addition, the user is supported by the wizard with informational texts and QuickTime movies that are directly callable from the software. The WorkflowPilot prevents potential errors in the operation, which could result from applying various tools in an incorrect order. Of course, the advanced user can also work completely free without using the WorkflowPilot.

The SilverFast Preview Concept allows to immediately see the result of any adjusted setting in the preview window. Even the results of complicated image enhancement functions, such as iSRD for infrared-based dust and scratch removal and Unsharp Masking USM, can be assessed with SilverFast 8 in advance.
A 100% zoom facilitates to properly evaluate and set the parameters of these tools.

The user interface of SilverFast 8 is newly developed by current standards, for the user can operate all major functions quickly and easily. The GUI also offers the possibility to flexibly arrange the control elements anywhere on the screen to fit personal preferences easily by dragging and dropping using the mouse.
This proves especially useful when working with two monitors. In WorkflowPilot mode, the required tool dialogs automatically open in the foreground.

SilverFast 8 is multitasking capable. Thus, the user is never forced to
interrupt his workflow to wait for the scanner or a complex SilverFast calculation. 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.

SilverFast 8 is compatible with Windows 7, 8, Vista and XP, and it runs natively on Intel Mac OS X systems from version 10.5 (including 10.8 Mountain Lion - no PowerPC). 32bit systems are as well supported as 64bit machines. The support of multi-core processors and cleverly developed calculation rules allow significant speed advantages - in some cases, SilverFast 8 is almost up to 40 times faster than the previous version.
