GOLD AWARD – The DigiFoto (NL) has tested SilverFast 9 « SilverFast has been the crème de la crème of scanner software for years. » DigiFoto, one of the leading Dutch photo magazines, took a closer look at the new SilverFast 9 scanner software and subjected it to a detailed practical test with an Epson Perfection V850. The testers focused on the comprehensively optimized WorkflowPilot and on the new, unique SAC (Single Archive Command).

The DigiFoto confirms that the WorkflowPilot can now guide a less experienced user through the complete scanning process. The Single Archive Command, which is especially suitable for large archives, was particularly impressive because of the significantly increased speed for raw data scanning. This feature is available in the SilverFast Archive Suite. DigiFoto Conclusion: « SilverFast remains the standard by which any other scanning software has to be measured, and version 9 sets the bar even higher.
