SilverFast SE is a powerful solution from LaserSoft Imaging which combines the best of both worlds: high-end imaging technology for low-end scanners for a very low cost. We specially designed SilverFast SE for flatbed and film scanner. Images will especially benefit from SilverFast's intelligent auto-adjust and LAB-based unsharp-masking, which does not sharpen the color noise of single channels, hence avoiding the extra noise. You get many of the marvelous highlights of the full SilverFast Ai, such as:

  • Patent-Pending Multi-Sampling for efficient Scanner-Noise-Reduction and Dynamic Range Enhancement
  • Auto-adjust with artificial intelligence
  • USM - Professional unsharp masking
  • Color-cast removal slider
  • Simple selective color correction
  • RGB-TIFF and JPEG output formats
  • SRD - smart removal of defects
  • ACR - adaptive color restoration
  • GANE - grain & noise elimination
  • NegaFix - negative optimization with 120+ negative profiles

  • SilverFast SE's ScanPilot guides the novice user through the optimum steps for brilliant images.
  • Quicktime Tutorial Movies inside each dialog explain and teach every function
    • PrinTao is the new professional printing function introducing layout functionality for images and text. You are able to create your individual layouts with text and images at a high efficiency. The integration of image processing, layout functionality and printing by a single software tool is unique.
    • Enhanced Automatic Descreening. The new enhanced descreening is able to auto-detect the screen of the original. The user is able to apply it as a full automated function without any necessary adjustments or as half automated version with auto-detection and user individual settings in a dialog.
    • Multi-Sampling for effective noise reduction got enhanced with regards to the auto-alignment process. Dynamic Range increase is clearly visibleSo much better sharpness is achieved with several scanner models
    • Auto Frame Detection - automatically creates frames for all images in the prescan
    • SF Multi-Exposure - creates a phenomenal increase of the hardware's capability to capture the full dynamic range, bringing out extensive image detail in both highlights and shadows. The following scanners work with SF Multi-Exposure:

    • Nikon LS-40, 50, 4000, 5000, 8000, 9000


    • Minolta DiMAGE scan Elite 5400, 5400 II

    • NegaFix enhanced - automatically reduces colorcasts when scanning negatives

    • Nikon: Fixed an issue with embedded Kodachrome profiles when using HDR scan mode of SilverFast and opening the resulting image files in Photoshop without processing the images in SilverFast HDR/DCPro before.
