Lasersoft Imaging price structuring used to reflect scanner capabilities, however at the time of writing the discount being offered on the full version of Archive Suite 8 brings all versions in line €499. SilverFast supports many scanner models, but the activation code is scanner specific. No further development is being carried out on Nikon Scan 4, and other scanner software for discontinued scanners. Both Lasersoft Imaging and Hamrick refine and update their software continually, giving the user the opportunity to update when launching the program. This review comes at a time when Lasersoft Imaging has revised its price structure and software functionality and the user interface. The programs that make all this happen are seldom free and we like to get good value from our money. The aim is still to do jobs as quickly as possible. Fortunately with internet access finding the instructions on how to make that happen is no big deal. The biggest problem with most software is the learning curve involved to be able to use it effectively. SilverFast Archive Suite 8 Features and Performance ![]() The programs I am comparing are Lasersoft Imagings SilverFast, Hamrick VueScan and Nikon Scan, (the basic software supplied) as they perform with my Nikon Coolscan V (LS50). These concepts are sound, but the implementation by the software under review produces subtle variations. For archival purposes the scans should maintain their original state without adjustment for processing at a later time and saved in a raw lossless format. ![]() The multi exposure information is combined and infrared information saved separately. Multiple scans allow for greater exposure, extracting more information from the darker areas, and infrared scans reveal dust and scratches. Scanning is a time consuming pursuit but should collect as much information as possible from each frame. Digitising your film by scanning is a solution that freezes your images in their current state. the interface seems to have changed.SilverFast Archive Suite 8 combines the well known scanner software SilverFast Ai Studio 8 and the image editing software SilverFast HDR Studio 8. Archiving analogue film: You can’t stop film emulsion deteriorating over time. in the Negafix Expert dialog, I couldn't find the Auto checkbox. While writing this reply, I had to refer to my copy of HDR. it should be noted though that the negafix profile is the most important factor in getting 'good' scans from the film so tweaking the profiles can be worthwhile. Ideally, (assuming that my explanation above is correct), a fussy user would customise/tweak the negafix profile for every strip of film they scan but that could be time consuming. it should give you the consistent results you are hoping for. This profile can then be used with your images, using the same curves and colour range for each and every frame. save the negafix profile with a name of your own choice. then make adjustments to the curves and ranges while viewing one or more of your images to get as authentic a colour rendering as possible. ![]() in the Negafix window, click on the Expert button (the 'professor') to open the Expert settings. I suspect that this is not what you are referring to, so try:Ģ. This however only means that the Image-Automatic function will not be automatically triggered each time an image is opened. in the Options/Auto tab, turn off "Automatic when opening image". There are two things that I can think of to try.ġ.
