Introduction
Whilst the tutorials that follow are based upon the version of
SilverFast Ai and HDR supplied with the Polaroid
SprintScan 4000 and 120 series film scanners they should be
compatible with virtually all supported scanners.
Please note that the tutorials are aimed at SilverFast
users intending to output images in the RGB format. I have not
provided any information on the SilverFast configuration
required for the output of CMYK images.
Frozen in Time!
I hope you find the tutorials helpful, and don't forget that
LaserSoft Imaging does provide lots of information on
their web site along with software Updates. Click the Logo

Many of today's scanners are designed to allow high-bit
scans, however, very few have the necessary tools to ensure
that these scans are as optimised as we would like. This
tutorial begins describing the technique of obtaining high-bit
scans from SilverFast Ai and finishes with a number of
tips on image colour and tonal correction within SilverFast
HDR. The colour and tone correction methods described are
applicable to all versions of SilverFast, so do give them a
read.

Tutorial 3

Scanning negatives is something that many scanner software
packages seem particularly poor at, or is it just that the user
has difficulty comprehending the maze of options, dialogs, etc?
Hopefully, after reading through one or other of these two
tutorials you will find that scanning negatives with SilverFast
isn't the challenge it once was. Tutorial 3
introduces the new NegaFix
feature that will make the scanning of negatives nearly as easy
as scanning a positive.
Tutorial 3 also includes a few tips for those wanting
to use one of SilverFast's more powerful colour correction
tools, "Global Colour Correction".
