The automatic frame detection for photos, slides, negatives and film is a tool to ease and quicken scanning serveral images with a flatbed scanner. Hereby, multiple reflective or transparent originals can get scanned and automatically optimized simultaneously. The automatic frame detection is available for all SilverFast versions from 6.5 on. It is best suited to identify originals which are positioned on the flatbed with or without an image holder. If no image holder is used it's recommended to apply the Auto Frame Alignment feature with Auto Rotation simultaneously for automatically aligning the images in a rectangular order. Manually cropping and aligning images in another editing application is not necessary, when combining these two functionalities.

The Workflow - How to apply the SilverFast Auto Frame Detection:
- Place the originals on the flatbed and perform a prescan or preview the image:
SilverFast puts a frame around the entire preview window. 
Select the Auto Frame Detection button and choose the desired format from the opening menu.- SilverFast generates individual frames for each image and optimizes the images automatically.
- Additional adjustments such as sharpening, image size or resolution can be done individually to each image.
- Finally all chosen images get digitized and optimized by a single scan.
The Auto Frame Detection has been considerably improved for SilverFast 6.6. filmstrips, which weren't really easy to scan before, can now be digitized as separate images smoothly without the need for any extensive post processing. The User therefore chooses the original's format, he wants to scan, in a menu. This information enables the software to put tight-fitting frames around the separate images. The frame detection is working likewise with positive and negative film.
Film Holders for filmstrips of following formats are supported:
- 35 mm
