Advantages over previous versions

The two main changes compared to previous versions of the Launcher are the completely new User-Interface and the Universal-Binary Format of the Mac Version.

At a glance:

• Completely revised user interface with tabs for the individual areas
• Simple handling of all installed SilverFast versions. The tabs clearly show which versions are currently installed on the computer.
• Universal-Binary format for Apple Intel-Macs under Mac OS X
• Full compatability for Photoshop CS3
• Multi-lingual: the new Universal Launcher may be switched into any supported language while running - no restart required.
• Helpful information: The "Extras" tab offers a variety of Links to supporting SilverFast-WebPages

The 6 tabs of the SF-Launcher:

		Scanner Palette for the installed SilverFast scanner modules
		Digitalkamera Palette for the installed SilverFast DC modules
		HDR Palette for the installed SilverFast HDR modules
		PrinTao Palette for the installed SilverFast PrinTao modules
		Extras Palette containing interesting and helpful links to Silverfast pages
		Info Palette containing information about the SilverFast Universal Launcher

SilverFast Universal Launcher as a Stand-Alone Application

SilverFast Version 6.5.5r1 or later now offers SilverFast Universal Launcher version 3.

SilverFast may be used as an independent "Stand-Alone"- application by means of the SilverFast Launcher. The advantage of the Universal Launcher is that little memory is needed, and that applications can be launched much faster.
No additional applications are required for operating any SilverFast product under Mac and Windows.

Naturally, SilverFast can still be launched from within Photoshop and as a TWAIN module.

Using SF Launcher is easy:

• First open the the "SF Launcher.app" application.
• Please click the palette with your selected SilverFast-Modul, in this example the camera palette.
• Please click the startbutton for the relevant SilverFast software, in this example on the upper button with SilverFast DC Pro Studio. The chosen version will start right now.
• The final scans will be saved directly to disk.
