Get consistent colors with just two mouse clicks – Fully automatic IT8 Calibration
Using SilverFast Ai Studio 8 professionals and home users are enabled to benefit from consistent colors without the need to bother with the sophisticated process behind it - just by initially calibrating their scanners.

Due to the genuine combination of the automatic frame detection and the integrated barcode technology imprinted on LaserSoft Imaging's IT8 Targets the complete calibration process runs fully automatic. Not even a prescan is required. Just place the original LaserSoft Imaging IT8 Target on the scanner and simply click the IT8 Calibration button. The ICC profile gets calculated for the individual scanner taking the scan of the target and some reference data into account.

An IT8 Target is required for the IT8 Calibration.

What is Multi-Exposure and what can you use it for?
Multi-Exposure is a technique for increasing a scanner's dynamic range and to reduce image noise – developed and patented by LaserSoft Imaging.

What is the Dynamic Range?
The Dynamic Range of a scanner, also referred to as density range or contrast range, is a measurement for a scanner's capability to recognize contrast levels.
Contrary to reflective originals like photo transparent originals (black & white film), color negatives and slides consist of multiple film layers, which respond to light differently. Therefore, transparent originals achieve a high Dynamic Range when captured, which usually exceeds a scanner's capabilities. As a consequence, especially in the very light and shadow image areas, image details get lost when scanning.

The Dynamic Range of each stage (capture, scanning, editing and storage) plays a crucial role in the quality of the final output. Generally, technologies with greater Dynamic Range produce better results.

How does Multi-Exposure increase the Dynamic Range?
SilverFast Multi-Exposure records an original's maximum Dynamic Range by performimg a double scan with an increased exposure time of the second scan. This procedure captures the light image area's details in the first pass and the the shadow details in the second. Afterwards an algorithm calculates the final scan, which now contains any detail, from each single scan.
