Note that if you have AI Studio, HDR Studio and the Archive Suite, there are some added functionality with new special tools: A Marker Tool for decreasing and increasing intensity, an Eraser Tool for protecting important image areas, and Setup Masks for using different correction effects.Д«oth SilverFast HDR and SilverFast AI get HistoryДЄlso new to SilverFast HDR and SilverFast AI is a History feature. However, if you've processed the image via SilverFast HDR and saved the image in the DNG format, any blurring you may have done can be deleted (along with any other changes) and then you do not need to re-scan, only re-fix the image.Д®nhanced Tools for the new Dust & Scratch Removal Unfortunately if you've already processed the image by blurring the image to help hide the dust and scratches, you cannot backtrack. By comparing the pixels with dust and scratches, this means that this process can be done on already processed images and you do not need to re-scan. The trick here is that SilverFast 8.8 has new algorithms that analyze the actual pixels and compares what are pixels versus what are not pixels (aka dust and scratches). In prior releases, as well as everyone else's non-infrared dust removal, often the 'Plan B' approach is based on blurring the pixels and thereby softening the image. This new algorithm is labeled as SRDx (Scratch and Dust Removal x) as opposed to their infrared initialization iSRD (infrared Scratch and Dust Removal). These latter two are significant because in both cases the infrared rays cannot pass through the the silver halide film emulsion or print backing. In addition, Lasersoft Imaging claims they can now work the same magic with black and white prints AND Kodachrome film.

The most impressive one (in this free update to current version 8 owners) is the dust & scratch removal without the need for an infrared-capable scanner.

LaserSoft Imaging's latest release of SilverFast AI 8.8 and SilverFast HDR 8.8 film scanning and image processing software comes with some very interesting new features.
