Important news around this time of the year from a small but innovative start-up company located in Bonn, Germany - Eggjet. In addition to their Eggjet-Printer series they now offer 2 3D Egg scanners.
These are some of the specs:
The egg-scanner with the best value for private use:
- single-egg-input
- 3D scan-system
- 300 dots per Egg
- 1 EPM (egg per minute)
Frankly there is no SilverFast support available for this scanner but we will gladly accept requests.
On behalf of the whole team at LaserSoft Imaging we wish you Happy Easter 2008 !
This post was inspired by the DDQ (Digital Darkroom Questions) newsletter from Tim Grey. I can highly recommend his newsletter because it deals with practical issues from”joe average end users” like you and me. He also publishes a blog with interesting thoughts and ideas on Digital Imaging.
The idea of his newsletter is that subscribers get to send Tim questions and he will pick one of them to be featured and answered. This particular subscriber wanted to change the creation date of his scans (lets’s anticipate he was using SilverFast) to the date he took the shot. Because any scan software will take the day the scan was made as a creation date it is most likely not the date the photo was taken originally. Which is why I decided to pass on the info.

These christmas days have gone so fast and now we are just a day away from 2008! A new year is waiting for us. To make the wait a little more enjoyable we have a fun little animated video via youtube for you:
Photographer Peter Wolff from photographical.net has started a new website dedicated to his fine art prints. This time no technical reviews (although we love his reviews) just plain beautiful photography. A quote from his gallery:
I insist on a naivity in my images, in which my own astonishment of the subject shines through and hopefully also becomes part of the spectators experience too.
You can purchase a print or two online for very reasonable prices while he ships worlwide for $ 10.00 flat per image. Make sure to pay him a visit and check out some of his flatbed photography. Most of it is done using SilverFast.
The current version of SilverFast 6.5.x is not fully compatible with Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5. With the official launch of Mac OSX Leopard on October 26th this week a lot of users are asking us whether SilverFast will be ready for Leopard ? The good news and simple answer is “Yes, of course!”. Right now we are working very hard on making SilverFast Leopard compatible as soon as possible. At the moment we expect to provide Leopard compatibility with SilverFast version 6.5+ as a free update shortly after Leopard has been released.
So we caught your attention with this statement, right ?! For some time now the amount of pixels in a digital camera seems to be the only dimension in terms of quality. Wrong !
It has been a while since our last SilverFast Quick Tip. To make up for it we present a new screencast called: ” SilverFast Global Color Correction Sepia Effect”. This screencast and lots more are also available as full size quicktime movie via www.silverfast.com. Enjoy and be creative with SilverFast!
