SilverFast Ai is a professional scanning software that combines powerful image optimization and enhancement tools with a user-friendly interface. SilverFast Ai was developed by LaserSoft Imaging AG, a German company that specializes in scanner software for photographers and graphic arts professionals. SilverFast Ai is designed to help photographers, graphic designers, and other professionals get the most out of their scanned images.

SilverFast Ai features:

• Multi-Exposure: SilverFast Ai has Multi-Exposure, which combines two scans with different exposures into one, increasing the dynamic range and reducing noise in dark areas.

SilverFast Ai provides a powerful, user-friendly interface for creating high-quality scans with accurate, consistent color.

• NegaFix: SilverFast Ai's NegaFix converts film negatives into positives, with profiles for many film manufacturers and film types.

• Color Management: SilverFast Ai supports IT8 calibration, which creates a color profile for the scanner so that scans reproduce the colors of the original accurately.

• Dust and Scratch Removal: SilverFast Ai's SRD tool and, on scanners with an infrared channel, iSRD detect and remove dust and scratches from your scans.

• Image Processing: SilverFast Ai includes a histogram, global and selective color correction and a neutral pipette to optimize, enhance, and correct your images.

• Batch Scanning: SilverFast Ai's JobManager and frame detection let you scan several slides or film frames automatically in one run.

• Multi-Format Support: SilverFast Ai saves scans in formats such as TIFF, JPEG and PDF, and HDRi RAW files keep the raw 48-bit data with the infrared channel for later processing.

• Professional Workflow Tools: SilverFast Ai runs as a standalone application, as an Adobe Photoshop plug-in or as a TWAIN module, so it fits into existing workflows.

• Online Support: LaserSoft Imaging provides documentation, instruction videos and a user forum, which are linked from the SilverFast Launcher.

• Compatibility: SilverFast Ai is available for more than 340 scanners and digital cameras from makers such as Epson, Canon, Nikon and Plustek, and each version is made for a specific scanner.

SilverFast Ai is a good choice for photographers, graphic designers, archivists and other users who want more control over their scans than the software bundled with the scanner offers. With SilverFast Ai, you can optimize, enhance, and correct images during the scan and save them in archive formats. The product line is continued as SilverFast 9 with the Ai Studio edition for Windows and macOS.
