With SilverFast V6.6, LaserSoft Imaging offers its own, fully Leopard compatible support
In case your customers also look for a solution in order to operate Nikon scanners on Mac OS X 10.5, we are happy to present the new SilverFast 6.6 to you. Now SilverFast drives these scanners directly, without the old Nikon driver. NikonScan is not compatible any longer to Mac OS X Leopard and Intel Mac computers. The official statement from Nikon says that it is not planned to realize any support in the future. With SilverFast V6.6, LaserSoft Imaging offers its own, fully Leopard compatible support for the following scanner models: Nikon Super Coolscan LS- 2000 Nikon Super Coolscan LS- 40 / LS-50 Nikon Super Coolscan LS-4000 / LS-5000 Nikon Super Coolscan LS-8000 / LS-9000
. as much as I loved my NIKON film scanners in the field, they just werent producing the quality I expected and needed. Then I added SilverFast software into the workflow and the difference was remarkable. Shelly Katz

Grayscales
SilverFast Multi-Exposure
The patented SilverFast Multi-Exposure increases the effectively usable dynamic range of Nikon scanners up to unbelievable 4.24 D (LS-5000) (confirmed by independent tests of Image Engineering, D-Frechen). Only with SilverFast Multi-Exposure and for the first time the full dynamic range of Kodachrome films (3,8 D ) can be captured.

Auto IT8 calibration

LaserSoft Imaging has fully automated its patented SilverFast IT8-Calibration recently. Once the LSI IT8-target (reflective or transparent), is placed on the scanner, just one mouse click is sufficient in order to start the calibration process. SilverFast will then automatically correct any existing misalignment of the IT8-Target. Next the target is covered with a calibration grid and identified by the integrated bar code. The latter ensures the correct allocation of the reference data. Finally an ICC-profile is automatically generated.

Accessories
