SilverFast Multi-Exposure® - pour nettement plus de détails

La plage dynamique joue un rôle capital en termes de numérisation et de haute qualité ;

car on obtient des résultats nettement meilleurs avec une plage dynamique plus étendue . Un logiciel qui permet au scanner de capturer davantage de détails dans les lumières et les ombres augmente sensiblement la plage dynamique du matériel. Avec SilverFast Multi-Exposure®, un Canon 8600F atteint par exemple une plage dynamique de 3,63 D (au lieu de 2,89 D sans). SilverFast Multi-Exposure® augmente le nombre des niveaux de gris perceptibles de 776 à 4.169 (sur la base de la norme ISO 21550.*). C’est une énorme différence !

iSRD® - la suppression parfaite des poussières et des rayures

Pour les utilisateurs Canon, le nouvel iSRD® apportera de grands changements à partir de la version 6.6 de SilverFast. Le nouvel iSRD® est, semblable à la technologie FARE, une fonction de suppression de poussières et de rayures basée également sur la technique infrarouge. Toutefois, l’iSRD® fonctionne autrement que FARE. De plus, iSRD® peut être réglé et contrôlé par l’utilisateur en termes d’intensité. Offrant un aperçu fidèle du résultat final, iSRD® peut être même combiné avec SRD®. SRD® est la variante logicielle de la suppression de poussières et de rayures, ne recourant pas à la technique infrarouge. Dans SRD® (en plus d’iSRD®), il est possible de créer trois autres calques de retouche avec des masques individuels.
La technique iSRD® peut être aussi utilisée pour supprimer les poussières et les rayures sur les Kodachromes et les diapos noir et blanc.
SilverFast iSRD® possède un autre avantage : aucun lissage d'image altérant l’apparence. Les scans sont plus nets, sans artefacts, et les détails du grain du film restent préservés en plus grand nombre. De plus, grâce au support de processeurs multi-cœur, vous scannez beaucoup plus rapidement.
Kodachrome – profils spéciaux pour des meilleurs résultats

Grâce aux nouveaux profils Kodachrome spéciaux pour notre logiciel Canon, vous bénéficiez, par rapport au logiciel conventionnel, de trois atouts majeurs qui vous permettent enfin de scanner vos diapos Kodachrome dans une qualité parfaite : plage dynamique maximale, calibrées IT8 et exemptes de poussières et de rayures.
La numérisation de Kodachromes est un grand défi en termes de plage dynamique capturable. Les Kodachromes atteignent une plage dynamique allant jusqu'à 3,8D –équivalant à 6.300 niveaux de gris ou à une plage de contraste de 1:6.300 !
Grâce à la technique SilverFast Multi-Exposure® brevetée, cette énorme plage dynamique peut être quasiment digitalisée dans son intégralité sur les scanners Canon. Ceci permet également de ne perdre aucun détail des ombres des Kodachromes.
Quand vous scannez les Kodachromes sans calibrage IT8 adapté, vos scans ont tous une forte dominante bleue. Dans SilverFast, il suffit à l’utilisateur d'aller sur Général dans la fenêtre de commande principale et de sélectionner « Kodachrome » dans Pos./Neg. SilverFast applique alors le profil Kodachrome en question, spécialement fabriqué pour le scanner Canon, et supprime ainsi la dominante bleue dans l'image !
Gain de temps – Scannez jusqu’à 3 fois plus vite

A partir du nouveau SilverFast 6.6.0r4, scannez encore plus vite avec vos scanners Canon. Vous réduisez ainsi le temps de numérisation effectif comparé à ScanGear de plus de 60 % (voir graphique). Cela grâce à des optimisations structurelles apportées au logiciel dans lequel les développeurs épuisent entièrement les toutes dernières possibilités offertes par les techniques de programmation. Entre autres, SilverFast s'adresse maintenant aux processeurs bi-cœur et multi-cœur grâce au multi-threading (traitement des processus en parallèle). Ceci vous permet d'exploiter au mieux la performance de votre ordinateur.
Des workflows optimaux, de nombreuses fonctions automatiques et la numérisation par lot vous permettent de scanner jusqu'à 3 fois plus vite avec notre logiciel.

Roy Sprague (8600F) - As a newcomer to color negative scanning, I was surprised to find that a technically sophisticated product like SilverFast AI has made digitizing my archive of landscape/nature film images much easier than the basic Windows XP software included with my CanoScan 8600F scanner. The time and effort spent in Photoshop editing and adjusting images produced by the Canon software far exceeds that required to produce superior results with the tools available in SilverFast. Automatic functions like auto-adjust, Color Cast Removal, and Adaptive Color Restoration have greatly simplified processing, and I have found that scans are significantly faster with SilverFast, even when comparing 48-bit SilverFast scans with 24-bit Canon scans. Since I have several hundred images to scan, I am looking forward to automating the process as much as possible with JobManager, which offers professional levels of flexibility and control not available in the Canon software.
SilverFast QuickTime movies and documentation have really helped me to get my project underway with minimum delay. The documentation supplied with the Canon software is very basic as well as brief, and the user can spend a great deal of time experimenting with the package attempting to determine the exact effect of each function and control. This activity is very counterproductive, and it really highlights another strength of SilverFast products: solid support provided by extensive documentation. To get the best results with Canon (or any other mid-range) scanners, I would recommend use of SilverFast software. (

Anthony Faust (8600F) - It was the first time I used SilverFast software when I purchased a ConoScan 8600F scanner, I'm using WinXP. I was suitable impressed with SilverFast that it didn't take me long to upgrade from the free bundled software to the new version 6.5. The multiple image scanning feature is extremely useful. I'm transferring a combination of old negatives and old prints. Laying all the prints on the scanner platen and scanning everything in one go is a real time saver. I would certainly recommend the new V6.5 Silverfast version.
Thomas Nestinger (8600F) - ... the new multi exposure feature delivers a substantial increase in image quality.

Thomas Nestinger (8600F) - I am not a professional, but also I can clearly see a definitive increase in scan quality when using SilverFast as compared to the normal scan software. I often scan images and even with a brief glimpse, the image scanned with SilverFast catches my eye. In my opinion the de-screening function is great, and the new multi exposure feature delivers a substantial increase in image quality. I was already using SilverFast with a different scanner before buying the Canon; because I switched to Windows Vista 64Bit the compatibility to SilverFast was an important criteria for me when deciding on the model. In my eyes, a scanner and SilverFast are a combination which should go together.
Even my next scanner will be one that operates with SilverFast. That said, thanks to the excellent quality of my CanonScan 8600 F and the new SilverFast V 6.5 Multi Exposure, I believe I will be happy for a long time® (

Ralf Frick (8600F) - ... Due to the excellent initial results of SilverFast, I quickly upgraded to SilverFastSEPlus. This version contains a function called "Multi Exposure". By making several scans of a negative with different exposure times, the scan quality is dramatically enhanced and the quality of the scan result is amazing. The "Multi-Exposure Feature" effectively removes noise allowing even large size printouts of the scans.
All my expectations were exceed. The "CanoScan 8600F is a great scanner - but only the combination with the SilverFast software does it deliver truly excellent results!!! (

Ralf Frick (8600F) - I own a large collection of old B&W and color photos (including negatives) which I want to digitize. For this reason I purchased a CanoScan 8600F. One of the main reasons for buying this scanner was that this reasonably priced model is bundled with SilverFastSE. I read that this combination of hard- and software was great for scanning such images. Since I do not have the time to post-process my scans, my images have to be scanned "right". SilverFast delivers stunning results! The "highlight/shadow tool" and the "sharpening filter" usually make any post-processing obsolete, though the operation of SilverFast is very simple. The Scanpilot basically guides one through the entire workflow. You do not need to be a professional in order to obtain great results with SilverFast.

Hans Schwarzkopf (8600F) - First, I had a HP ScanJet-SCSI-Scanner. For that scanner I invested in SilverFast Ai 5.0. When the HP-Scanner stopped operating I discovered by chance that CanoScan 8600F is bundled with SilverFast. This made me buy the CanoScan 8600F. After the purchase I quickly upgraded to SilverFast 6.5. Together with SilverFast the CanoScan 8600F provides me great universal use at a high quality level.
Serge Eymann (8600F) - I have only used SilverFast SE+ 6.5 Multi-exposure for a few weeks, but I am already conquered. Indeed, compared with the software offer delivered with the scanner there is nothing to hesitate, SilverFast replaces the latter without any regret. The scanner used is CanonScan 8600F under Windows XP Pro 32bits and the principal use is the scan of magazines or booklets. It is for that that I particularly appreciate the possibilities of decreening with SilverFast, which I didn't find anywhere else. The possibilities with SilverFast are multiple.

Gregory Knipp (9950F) - I've been an amateur photographer most of my life, but in January decided it was time to go digital. I bought my first flatbed scanner, a Canon CanoScan 9950F, to begin digitalizing a large family collection of old black & white prints, black & white 4x5 negatives, 35MM color slides, and 35MM color film. I began using the included scanning software, ScanGear, and initially thought it worked pretty well.
Then I heard about SilverFast. There was a lot of positive dialogue about the product across the internet, so I downloaded a trial copy of SilverFast SE Plus and began testing it. I had already done a number of scans of 35mm slides and some black & white 4x5 negatives with the ScanGear, so I rescanned some of those images and in side-by-side comparisons quickly discovered that the SilverFast was definitely the best product. I also tried out a copy of VueScan, but I thought it was a bit lacking. I ended up purchasing SilverFast Ai which has full color management and can handle 48-bit color, including RAW, amidst it's growing list of features. Currently SilverFast doesn't support FARE (dust and scratch correction tool, Canon's version of ICE), but SilverFast technical support folks tell me that they will be able to adapt their own dust and scratch removal function (SRD) to the infrared channel of this scanner in the very near future.
For me, one of the more notable advantages of SilverFast over ScanGear is that that SilverFast does a better job of pulling out details in shadowy areas when scanning 35MM color slides and my 4x5 B&W negs. You absolutely do have greater control over your scans, as advertised.
The Canon 9950F is an awesome scanner, and SilverFast really allows the scanner to make the most of it's capabilities. I think it would be a bit of real brilliance for Canon to start bundling SilverFast with it's scanners. Until that time, I feel it is definitely worth spending the money to replace the provided ScanGear software with SilverFast. (
