![]() I use mainly iSRD for scratch and dust removal, GANE for some scanner noise reduction and USM for intelligent auto sharpening. With Silverfast HDR Studio you access the scanned HDR files and process them with all the required tools. there is no need to rescan them even if you decide to give the scan a different look or you realized that you have messed up color balancing or contrast adjustments. Once you have scanned your slides you can put them away and safely store them. With this software you have almost the same set of tools available as in SilverFast. The settings determined in the first frame will be copied to all succeeding frames. After the Pre-Scan and after setting up the first frame, you can start the auto frame find option and SilverFast will automatically detect the frames of your slides. This again will void rotating them later on. I also find it easier to put vertically orientated images vertically into the frame. There is a lively discussion of whether to put the emulsion side towards the scanner or not, but as I never saw any significant difference I only recommend to stay consistent otherwise you need to flip you images later on in post-processing. Epson recommends to put the emulsion side up. Mounting the slides is a tedious task, but doing it correctly will save you some time later on. While it is no problem to go beyond this value, you won´t scan more details, but you will increase file size tremendously. As soon as the slider changes from green to yellow you hit the maxium optical resolution for your scanner. SilverFast´s resolution slider helps you with this decision. For most scanners this value is lower than the resolution advertised by the manufacturer. So you can concentrate on digitalizing your whole archiving before you need to decide how a scanned slide needs to be processed.Įach scanner has an optimum resolution and this normally the optical resolution. ![]() All the processing steps can be postponed to a later stage without compromising on quality. These files are basically linear scans (this means a gamma of 1.0) and are unaltered scans from the film. With the basic SilverFast software you need to create so called HDR scans. The scanning part of the workflow will be detached from the processing part and this will make the whole process absolutely future proof. In this video I introduce a concept that includes SilverFast HDR studio. I do agree that it is a time consuming task, but the reward of having the complete body of work on the hard drive is worth it in my opinion. After my visit to Photokina in September I realized how many photographers see digitalizing their archive of slide film as a big challenge. It has been a while since I posted my last video here. A workflow concept using an Epson flatbed scanner and Silverfast HDR Studio.
