Find frames on a flatbed scanner and SilverFast 8
February 2nd, 2012 · analogue photography, HowTo, News, Processing, Quicktips, SilverFast, Tips and Tutorials
SilverFast has a very helpful tool to help you find pictures loaded onto your flatbed scanner and frame them.
For this example I wil use 35 mm slides.
First simply select the kind of material to be scanned.
Select source
Then make a prescan to have an overview with all pictures in the scanner.
Press the prescan button
Under the menu “Frame” find the submenu “Find frames” and select the type of film to be found.
Find frames
SilverFast finds all the pictures and lays a scan frame around them.
Overview of all frames
After this you can proceed to make individual corrections. Clicking any of the frames will select it, you can resize or move it as well as applying any corrections to the selected picture.
Once you are done with all your corrections you can press the scan button once for a single scan or press and hold the scan button and choose the “BatchScan” option to scan all the pictures included there.

The world-wide last Kodachrome Targets
November 22nd, 2011 · News, Photography Business, Processing
| LaserSoft Imaging offers the world’s last Kodachrome targets for scanner calibration. Kodachrome was a popular slide film produced by Kodak between 1935 and 2009. It was the first commercially successful three-color film with natural color reproduction. Kodachrome film features great sharpness, fine grain and vibrant colors. In addition, it is extremely well preserved in archives.Kodachrome is very different from other films in terms of material and developing process. This fact leads to problems when trying to scan Kodachrome film like ordinary color film. LaserSoft Imaging has produced Kodachrome targets in own production, which enable true-color digitizing of Kodachrome slides. Since 2010, there is not a single photo lab on the whole planet developing Kodachrome film. (Source: Wikipedia) This means, no new Kodachrome targets can be produced in future. |
|
| Why is the calibration with a Kodachrome target important?
The yellow dye in the Kodachrome emulsion is generally perceived less by a scanner than by the human eye. Thus, the human viewer captures more “yellow spectrum” from a Kodachrome image than the scanner. In return, scan results have a blue cast for the eye, if Kodachrome slides are scanned with a normal Fujichrome or Ektachrome ICC profile. With a Kodachrome Calibration Target, you get accurate color. |
 Before and after color calibration  iSRD® also for Kodachromes |
| « I started a project recently, scanning several hundred 25-year old slides of our trekking trip to Africa. The old Kodachromes and Ecktachromes show their age. […] SilverFast provides a vast range of controls that were not previously available to me, allowing solid control over every element of the scanning workflow. The results are dramatically improved. … » (Richard Jacobs)
