Silverfast Ai Studio 8 Keygen Mac Free

• Pros Offers more control over scans than the drivers that come with most scanners. Color calibration. Hardware-based dust and scratch removal. Special tools for Kodachrome film. • Cons Needs a separate version for each scanner model it supports. • Bottom Line The SilverFast Ai Studio 8 scan utility is pricey and has a steep learning curve, but it's an excellent tool for anyone who wants to get the best possible output quality from whatever scanner they have. In many ways, LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast Ai Studio 8 ($299 to $449, depending on the scanner model) is the Photoshop of scan utilities.

I mean that in both a good and a bad way. The bad part is that although it's not hard to muddle through with SilverFast without knowing how to use it well, it's hard to master.

The good part is that it's among the best known, most widely used, and most capable programs in its category for a good reason: Once you learn how to use it, it will give you excellent results. SilverFast lets you wring the best possible photo scan quality out of whatever photo scanner you use it with. Shades of Silver LaserSoft Imaging sells an assortment of SilverFast versions, including some variations on its older version 6, and three levels of SilverFast 8, which is what I review here. All three of the SilverFast 8 variations come in different versions for different scanner models, so you have to get the right version for the scanner you have. All three also use the same program file for any one scanner, with the license key unlocking the appropriate features for the program level. Cab Drivers Cough Linctus there.

The least expensive variation, with the fewest features, is SilverFast SE 8 ($49). Even with this version, you get an impressive set of sophisticated tools, including controls for manual and automatic color correction, sharpening the image, and dust and scratch removal, complete with support for a hardware-based option using an infrared scan for models that offers it.

The program can also save scans in LaserSoft Imaging's 48HDR format, which retains all the information in the standard scan with visible light, and 64-bit HDRI format, which adds the information from the IR scan. Either format lets you post-process the image in LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast HDR, a companion program for SilverFast (which I did not look at as part of this review). The next step up is SilverFast SE Plus ($119, but $79 to upgrade from the standalone SE level and $99 to upgrade from the bundled SE version). Among the additional features in SE Plus is an option for scanning Kodachrome slides, which tend to show a bluish tint in scans, and a multi-exposure option, which is potentially useful for scanning transparencies (i.e., slides, film strips, and negatives). If you turn on the multi-exposure tool, SilverFast will take the scanner through two scans with different exposures and combine the results in one image.

The result effectively increases the scanner's dynamic range (meaning how many shades of gray it can see), so the scan will show more detail based on shading. This is not particularly useful for scanning photographic prints, but it can make a big difference with film, which has a much greater dynamic range. The second scan adds significant time for scanning each image, however, and it doesn't always give you better quality. The most notable addition in SilverFast is a color-calibration feature using a standard IT8 calibration target, which you'll have to buy separately. Calibrating is supremely easy. Put the target in the scanner, click on the color calibration tool, and wait a moment for it to scan and calibrate. That's all it takes to get scans with better color fidelity.
