            <title>What can software do to improve a scan?</title>
            <link>http://www.silverfast.com/show/news/it.html#id19696</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.silverfast.com/img/reviews/itelogo_240x60.png" class="left">

<span class="cms_text_bold">What can software do to improve a scan?</span><br />
Quite a lot! Erik Vlietinck has ascertained this fact in his latest article for the IT-Enquirer.
<br /><br/>

Producing digital copies of photos and slides is fairly easy nowadays. Several scanner manufacturers have low-priced devices on the market, that just have to be connected to the computer to get detected automatically by actual operating systems and therewith are ready to use immediately.<br />
The results to achive this are at utmost mediocre. For producing scans whose quality can compare to or exceed that of digital photographs, it's not sufficient to just use a very expensive scanner; the most important component is the scanner software.
<br /><br />

<b>IT-Enquirer</b> about SilverFast: <i>"Some software can get very near to perfect results, though. By exploiting modern scanners&rsquo; technical and optical capabilities to the fullest, the scanner software can do more than just turn on the lamp and move the scanning element. It can detect and remove dust speckles and scratches; it can sharpen the image and colour correct the image. It can even correct photographs that, due to old age, display colour shifts you normally can&rsquo;t correct in one Photoshop session. [...]</i>
<br /><br />

<table class="cms_table">
<tr>
	<td>
<a href="http://www.silverfast.com/img/news/bsp_isrd_1010x328.png" class="lightwindow" title="Left: original image heavily scratched | Right: after appliance of iSRD&reg;">

<i>In SilverFast Archive Suite version 6.6.1 the 64-bit HDRi color files and 32-bit grayscale files contain all readable image information including the information of modern scanners&rsquo; infrared channels, using this data for image optimization, e.g. dust and scratch removal."</i>
	</td>
</tr>
</table><br />

Besides <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/isrd/it.html">iSRD&reg;</a> and <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/hdri/it.html">HDRi</a> the article introduces some other SilverFast features the author claims are responsible for enabling SilverFast to produce near perfect results. Scanner specific data is saved with the image data, e.g. for a later <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/unsharpmask/it.html">automatic Unsharp-Masking</a>, which regards the scanner's own characteristics. When scanning transparencies <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/multi-exposure/it.html">SilverFast Multi-Exposure&reg;</a> is able to increase the scanner's dynamic range, i.e. the contrast range.<br />
Color casts are reliably removed by an integrated color management, which does also allow the scanning of very challenging film types like <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/kodachrome/it.html">Kodachrome slides</a>. 
Therefore the <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/autoit8/it.html">automatic IT8 color calibration</a> with a special calibration target produced by LaserSoft Imaging is especially helpful.

<span class="cms_text_bold">La soluzione di archiviazione ottimale: SilverFast Archive Suite</span><br />
L'ultimo numero della rivista francese .psd PHOTOSHOP, di Gennaio 2010, contiene un articolo sulla Archive Suite di SilverFast.
<br /><br/>

.psd magazine: <i>"LaserSoft Imaging &egrave; riuscita a sviluppare un software che consente di digitalizzare a tempo di record le pi&ugrave; corpose raccolte di immagini."</i><br />
<span class="cms_text_small">(cfr. .psd magazine 01/2010 p.49)</span>
<br /><br/>

Il nuovo <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/hdri/it.html">formato HDRi a 64bit</a>, che contiene i dati del canale infrarosso oltre a quelli dell'immagine, viene utilizzato fin dall'inizio. Questi dati addizionali possono essere utilizzati successivamente per rimuovere polvere e graffi con la funzione di SilverFast <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/isrd/it.html">iSRD&reg;</a>. Questo iSRD&reg; migliorato funziona meglio e salva pi&ugrave; dettagli rispetto al solito sistema iCE&reg;, ed &egrave; fino a 4 volte pi&ugrave; veloce su sistemi con processori multicore.
<br />

Ulteriori funzionalit&agrave; di SilverFast sono descritte nella seconda parte dell'articolo, cos&igrave; come il flusso di lavoro della <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/show/silverfast-archive-suite/it.html">Archive Suite</a> pi&ugrave; in dettaglio.]]></description>

<span class="cms_text_bold">Scansioni da pellicola che durano per sempre - con SilverFast</span><br />
<i>"Abbandonate in scatole e contenitori, diapositive e negative frutto di anni di fotografia analogica sbiadiscono e si ammuffiscono."</i>
<br /><br />

Questa &egrave; l'introduzione ad un dettagliato articolo sulla scansione delle pellicole, pubblicato sul numero 02/2010 della rivista tedesca MACup. Con un linguaggio adatto ai principianti, si affrontano i problemi pi&ugrave; frequenti che si verificano durante le scansioni di vecchie pellicole e si forniscono alcuni suggerimenti in merito; e si parla delle tecnologie pi&ugrave; recenti su questo argomento.
<br /><br /><br /><br />

La redazione di MACup conclude cos&igrave;: <i>"Un prerequisito per scansioni perfette &egrave; uno scanner per pellicole appropriato. Il dispositivo dovrebbe comunque essere equipaggiato di un sensore all'infrarosso, [...] e dovrebbe essere abbinato alla versione pi&ugrave; recente del software di scansione SilverFast."</i>
<br /><br />

La seconda parte inizia con una dettagliata introduzione a SilverFast, e spiega importanti funzionalit&agrave; quali la Multi-Esposizione&reg;, la iSRD&reg; ed il nuovo formato HDR a 64 bit. Una sintesi del flusso di lavoro di SilverFast chiude l'articolo.

            <title>fotoforum: SilverFast &amp; Kodachrome</title>

<span class="cms_text_bold">Una tecnica per recuperare i vecchi tesori in Kodachrome - grazie a SilverFast Ai 6.6</span><br />
Dopo 75 anni, Kodak ha cessato nel 2009 la produzione della pellicola Kodachrome. Data la durevolezza di questa pellicola, &egrave; difficile immaginare la mole di immagini esistente negli archivi dei fotografi di tutto il mondo.
La Kodachrome ha diverse caratteristiche peculiari, tali da renderne complicata la digitalizzazione. La rivista tedesca di fotografia "fotoforum" ha dedicato un articolo a questo argomento nel primo numero del 2010, mettendo alla prova la scansione delle diapositive Kodachrome con il software SilverFast.

<br /><br /><br />

Per il test &egrave; stato usato uno scanner Reflecta DigitDia 5000, capace di scandire 100 diapositive alla volta grazie ad un alimentatore automatico ed agli automatismi di SilverFast. I profili Kodachrome di SilverFast hanno evitato la tipica dominante bluastra risultante dalle scansioni delle Kodachrome. Dopo aver calibrato lo scanner con un target IT8 specifico fornito da LaserSoft Imaging, la resa cromatica &egrave; stata eccellente. Infine, se normalmente gli automatismi di rimozione polvere e graffi non danno grandi risultati con le Kodachrome, nel caso dello iSRD di SilverFast la redazione &egrave; riuscita ad ottenere velocemente buoni risultati.<br /><br />

La <b>conclusione</b> di fotoforum: <i>"Il software di scansione SilverFast si presta benissimo a produrre scansioni da Kodachrome di alta qualit&agrave;. La calibrazione Kodachrome consente un'alta fedelt&agrave; cromatica alle diapositive originali, senza costringere l'utente a faticose correzioni colore in seguito. Inoltre, la funzionalit&agrave; iSRD di SilverFast (rimozione polvere e graffi) svolge un ottimo lavoro nel ripulire le vecchie diapositive."</i>

<span class="cms_text_boldred">Review:</span><span class="cms_text_bold"> Scanning with SilverFast</span><br />
Photographer Mark Segal is an expert in scanning technique and has recently written a tutorial entitled:<br /><br />

<span class="cms_text_bold">Scanning - The Old World Joins the New</span><br />
Mark explores calibration, scanning with the EPSON V750 Pro and techniques for an integrated workflow between SilverFast and Adobe's Lightroom. The tutorial is available as a free downloadable .pdf file, which can be read onscreen or printed out for reference. Mark has divided his tutorial into five topics:<br />

<ol>
<li> SilverFast's Auto-IT8 scanner calibration procedure</li>
<li> SilverFast's version of HDR in 64-bit mode</li>
<li> SilverFast's new hardware-based dust and scratch removal technology called iSRD</li>
<li> Performance of the EPSON V750 Pro scanner</li>
<li> An integrated workflow between SilverFast and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom</li>
</ol>

	</td>

Mark's conclusion on the iSRD feature: <i>"Those who have large quantities of old transparencies and negatives to scan will find this feature-set to be not only very effective, but also a huge time-saver. As well, there is an added element of flexibility to this workflow, insofar as the infra-red channel remains with the saved HDR scan, so the user has the choice of using iSRD at scan time or any time thereafter."</i>

            <title>USM: Automatic Sharpening function for HDR</title>
            <link>http://www.silverfast.com/show/news/it.html#id19343</link>

<span class="cms_text_boldred">NEW:</span> <span class="cms_text_bold">Auto-Sharpening function USM for SilverFast HDR and DC is now aligned to the scanner</span><br />
The human perception is aligned to the recognition of edges and lines. So the sharpness impression of photos can be increased by contrast rise of small brightness changes. Conventional sharpening functions often increase the detail contrast of the complete image in general and, therefore, also strengthen any image interference of the original, causing a loss of details. In contrast the SilverFast Unsharp Masking USM carefully raises the contrast at edges and lines. The sharpened images appear losslessly much more detailed.
<br /><br />

<table class="cms_table">
<tr>
	<td>
With version 6.6.1r4 SilverFast saves scanner related information along with the image data. This allows an <b>advanced automatic Unsharp Masking</b> for the later post processing with SilverFast HDR, which takes the specific scanner details into account and is therefore able to produce brilliant, pin sharp images.
