![]() Features: Fully automatic IT8 scanner calibration rapid scanning into a 64bit HDRi RAW data archive, incl.Scanners supported: All enthusiast/professional models from the major scanner manufacturers (including Canon, Epson, Microtek, Nikon, PIE, Plustek and Reflecta).Systems compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 (32/64), Mac OS X from 10.5 (Intel Mac only).We have some reservations about the high price tags commanded by the SilverFast applications, although for anyone who wants to squeeze the best possible quality out of images recorded on film or paper Ai Studio 8 represents the best-performing and most versatile scanning application we have used thus far. The same is true for the AACO tool, which operates globally across the image there are times when adjustments should be confined to discrete areas. The iSRD is pretty good but there will always be situations when blemishes are missed, regardless of the capabilities of the software. Most scanned images are likely to require additional work to remove dust and scratch marks that weren’t picked up during the scan. Ai Studio 8 lets users save scans as high-bit depth (48- or 64-bit) files that can be accessed within HDR Studio 8 for ‘finishing’. ![]() Together, they provide a superior scanner driver with facilities for dust and scratch removal, colour calibration and dynamic range optimisation plus a post-scan image adjustment application. ![]() LaserSoft Imaging’s SilverFast Archive Suite 8 consists of two complementary applications: SilverFast Ai Studio 8 and SilverFast HDR Studio 8. HDR Studio 8 is less easy to recommend because it adds very little to Ai Studio 8 and lacks many tools photographers might need for ‘finishing’ scanned images. The quality produced by the scanner is high enough for archived images, making SilverFast Ai Studio 8 a valid choice for both professional photographers and serious enthusiasts with enough images to scan to justify the investment.
