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.

SilverFast 8 is the most comprehensive scanner software in the world. Each feature of the previous version was implemented from scratch. Using modern multi-core technology, it is possible for some functions to reach a calculation speed of up to 40 times faster, on Mac as well on Windows PC. New features such as the WorkflowPilot and the Preview Concept make SilverFast 8 perfect.

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. 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.

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 is especially useful when working with two screens.
