Even then, tiny mouse movements mean it is hard to be precise in drawing the rectangle. This is very hard to do without me physically standing up and moving my eyes a few inches from my laptop screen. In order for Negafix to work properly, I need the frame boundaries to fall within the image itself (no black boundary pixels at all). Say I do a prescan on my 15.6" laptop monitor. Just like in Photoshop where you can zoom in beyond 100% if you really want to). The preview window should be zoomable like any other image window in any other application, regardless of the quality of the prescan.Surely I should be able to use Silverfast with any scanner I own? In any case, I assume that I tried to use the Silverfast installation I already had installed, but it didn't work, which lead me to purchase a new version (version 9). That seems like a very '90s' way of doing things. For some strange reason (to me at least) it seems the scanning software is locked to a hardware device. This is partly explained (perhaps) that I have a Plustek 8200i that I have not used for a couple of years, and a version of Silverfast was already on my PC.I think this just backs up my theory that the software isn't exactly clear (it obviously wasn't obvious enough for a dweeb like me to realise I could have just used what came with it) I'm a bit miffed that I have purchased Silverfast SE 9 to be honest.It just feels like a piece of software from the early 90s, so things aren't as clear as they should be. (is there a dedicated forum for Silverfast?) We're always dropping new epsiodes, but we're always happy to squeeze in a popular Jan - thanks for your detailed response. I think this one covers what you're looking for -> Īlso, we're always open for suggestions on new tutorials to be included in our YouTube channel. See my comment regarding "high res prescans" above. It can now saved the used settings of one frame and apply them to remaining images in the holder. We have added batchscan functionality to the WorkflowPilot with SilverFast 9. These days a lot of people have 4K Monitors (or more) and if you have SilverFast covering your full screen and zoom the prescan into a single frame, chances are pretty good, the resolution (amount of pixels) from the cached prescan will be sufficient to process and export the final scan, without having to wait for the scanner to rescan something that's already available. ![]() If the prescan (which is cached as a temporary raw scan/file on your machine) already provides enough resolution for the final scan (depends on your settings and some restrictions apply), SilverFast will not waste precious time and rescan your original, instead it will process the final scan based on the cached imeage data from the prescan. This particular bit in the software can be mystifying (no argument there), but actually adds a benefit to your workflow. This scanner came bundled with SEplus or Ai-Studio. ![]() ![]() Sorry, for being late, I've read through the whole thread, but I will reply in the individual posts, if I think I can provide some helpful assistance on top of what others have already suggested. I don't want to do any of the other things that Silverfast offers.Īre there any good tutorials out there for this simple process? It just seems a bit different each time I do it. Adjust frames just inside the negative (multiple frames sometimes).Sometimes once I have gone through all my adjustments, the negafix and then the iSRD, and then I click the final 'Scan' or 'Batch Scan', it doesn't seem to have to rescan anything and just saves out what I presume are the high res prescans.or are they full res? I have an Epson v850 and Silverfast 9 (I think it is the SE version).Īnyone else find this software a bit mystifying? I mean, it seems to have everything there that we need - and far more that I don't need and would rather do in LR or PS, but just simple stuff like preview scans which seem to be ok, but then certain tasks mean they need to be rescanned (especially if scanning multiple frames at the same time).Īutopilot (or Workflow Pilot or whatever it is called) seemed like a good idea, but if you have more than one frame, it doesn't seem you can use it. Now I haven't gone so far as developing myself (yet), so I am using a lab for this, but the scanning is something I want to be doing. I'm getting back into film photograohy in a big way.
