SilverFast 8 Focus Control / The professional feature for crisp and sharp images

Kiel (ots) - LaserSoft Imaging (LSI) has optimized SilverFast 8
Focus Control for high-quality flatbed and film scanners. From
version 8.0.1r24 SilverFast scanner software now works with the most
efficient Focus Control that ever existed. It?s numerous settings
allow to adjust sharpness perfectly.

In order to produce high-quality scans, some professional scanners
from Epson, Nikon, Microtek, PIE and Reflecta allow to manually
adjust the focus of its scanner optics. This implies the possibility
to offset the focus up to several millimeters above or below the
regular focus level.

Using filmholders may slightly lifts your originals, especially
slide mounts are of different thickness and also filmstrips inserted
into film scanners are not always perfectly flat. The focus may
marginally vary from frame to frame. Setting an appropriate focus
leads to crisp and sharp images. All adjustments can be controlled
immediately with the Focus Control preview dialog.

SilverFast 8 increases the Epson Expression 1640XL, 10000XL and
11000XL scanner's performance and opens new possibilities. These
scanner's have an outstanding depth of field and a special type of
lightning that casts no shadows. In combination with new SilverFast 8
Focus Control these are the only scanners, which are able to scan
three-dimensional objects such as coins with amazing sharpness and
details.
