LaserSoft Imaging (LSI) has embedded their 25 years of experience
into the new version of scanner software SilverFast. Coupling
innovative ideas with the utilization of current software technology,
LSI has now released the best scanning software: SilverFast 8.

There are many reasons to obtain the new SilverFast 8 - a software
which makes it easy to perfectly digitize images. The applications
are nearly endless.

The new patent pending WorkflowPilot® is a novelty and the core of
the new concept, allowing perfect scans from any original. As a kind
of virtual assistant, the WorkflowPilot® guides the user through the
correct order of steps necessary to obtain best results.

Karl-Heinz Zahorsky, founder and president of LSI: « Our
WorkflowPilot will help especially novice users to create brilliant
images. »

Thanks to full support of the latest 64bit hardware, SilverFast 8
now reaches new levels of performance. One can either utilize the
powerful tools for editing individual photos or use the JobManager to
optimize several images at the same time. Regardless of how large
your image archive may be, SilverFast 8 always scans fast and
efficiently.

The unique SilverFast Preview Concept allows for instant quality
control of each adapted adjustment. The new and optimized user
interface enables any user to quickly find all necessary tools. The
unique iSRD® feature automatically and professionally removes dust
and scratches by using the scanner's infrared channel. In combination
with the SRD® function, this feature is even available for Kodachrome
or B/W slides.

SilverFast 8 is now available and downloadable for the most
popular scanners at www.silverfast.com. Naturally, demo versions are
available for download as well. More scanners are continuously being
adapted to the new version. Previous SilverFast customers are
entitled to substantial discounts or may even qualify for a
completely free upgrade depending on when they made the initial
SilverFast purchase.
