Silver Fast, Multi-Exposure & IT8 Calibration

Silver Fast are offering a 20% reduction for Bug user group members. On the following products.

Multi-Exposure
The dynamic range of each stage (capture, scanning, editing and storage) plays a crucial role in the quality of the results. In general, technologies with greater dynamic range produce better results. The objective of Multi-Exposure is to enhance the Dynamic Range of scans from film material since a scanner rapidly reaches its limits with single scan acquisition. Because no substantial improvement of dynamic range can be achieved with reflective scans, Multi-Exposure works with film material only.

Automatic IT8 Calibration
Consistent colors and color management has been and is still in many areas a certain mystery for professionals and even more for consumers. For a long time receiving color consistent scans has been a dedicated field for professional color consultants and operators only. The new SilverFast version helps professionals and enables consumers to just benefit from the highly added value of consistent colors and to neglect the sophisticated process behind it. With SilverFast V6.5.0r6 users from all experience levels can experience color consistent scans by calibrating the scanner first.

You can download and test demo versions for Windows and Macintosh for free.
