How to select and apply SilverFast Multi-Sampling?
You can activate the SilverFast Multi-Sampling at ther vertical toolbar. Just click on the Multi-Sampling icon and choose the number of scans you want your scanner to do. You would achieve the highest quality with factor 16, for moderate results choose a factor of 4 or 8, please.


Be advised that with the number of samples the time until you have the final scan increases. This will, of course, also vary with the selected scanner resolution.

It is recommended to use the Job-Manager, if you want to do several scans, so you do not have to wait for each scan to be ready.

Multi-Sampling and high-bit scans?
Multi-Sampling can be applied with any kind of scan-type. You can do Multi-Sampling scans in 24bit mode positive or negative (using NegaFix!) or if you want to work with large high-bit 48bit TIFF files and Silver-Fast HDR, you can also sample into 48bit HDR format (and the new 64bit HDRi format).
This format contains the full dynamic range that the scanner can supply and with Multi-Sampling is the best image data for later processing without any loss of quality.

Note: Multi-Sampling is available in every SilverFast SE Plus, SilverFast Ai and SilverFast Ai Studio version 6.6.1r1b or later.
