« SilverFast from German software company LaserSoft Imaging, Kiel has a leading position in this field for years and is the undisputed number one in terms of quality. The new "Ai Studio 8" version is designed for professionals, but equally intended for amateurs, who want to get out the maximum of their images. »
Besides the very expensive professional equipment from Hasselblad, Roberto Casavecchia is also very happy with some rather inexpensive scanners, such as the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i, as long as they are used with SilverFast: « Every scanner, from beginner to professional high-end model, will benefit from this software‘s features and workflow. » The complete (German) article can be found in the actual issue 02/2012 of fine art printer magazine. |
