This review comes at a time when Lasersoft Imaging has revised its price structure and software functionality and the user interface. The programs that make all this happen are seldom free and we like to get good value from our money. The aim is still to do jobs as quickly as possible. Fortunately with internet access finding the instructions on how to make that happen is no big deal. The biggest problem with most software is the learning curve involved to be able to use it effectively. SilverFast Archive Suite 8 Features and Performance The programs I am comparing are Lasersoft Imagings SilverFast, Hamrick VueScan and Nikon Scan, (the basic software supplied) as they perform with my Nikon Coolscan V (LS50).
These concepts are sound, but the implementation by the software under review produces subtle variations. For archival purposes the scans should maintain their original state without adjustment for processing at a later time and saved in a raw lossless format. The multi exposure information is combined and infrared information saved separately. Multiple scans allow for greater exposure, extracting more information from the darker areas, and infrared scans reveal dust and scratches. Scanning is a time consuming pursuit but should collect as much information as possible from each frame. Digitising your film by scanning is a solution that freezes your images in their current state.
SilverFast Archive Suite 8 combines the well known scanner software SilverFast Ai Studio 8 and the image editing software SilverFast HDR Studio 8. Archiving analogue film: You can’t stop film emulsion deteriorating over time.
