(...) SilverFast supports a wide range of scanners, from all the major manufacturers and you have to buy the product linked to a particular model. Even so, until this latest version, calibration was time-consuming and fiddly.

LaserSoft has now addressed this issue, with auto-calibration using an IT8 scanner target. (...) Simply laying this target on a scanner's flatbed and clicking the auto-calibrate button runs the calibration process automatically, making set up for beginners and graphics professionals very simple.

SilverFast is a very competent scanning application, with many pro-level features, particularly in colour control. It includes scratch and dust removal, various image enhancements and colour restoration. There's a one-touch filter too, which intelligently improves the highlight, shadow and mid-tones of an image.

SilverFast handles scans more comprehensively than most other pieces of retail software (...), is well designed and offers probably your best chance of getting a properly rendered print, transparency or negative from a traditional photograph.
