SilverFast software is designed for both professionals and beginners for digitizing their analog images. The Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE scanner is bundled with SilverFast SE Plus 8. Professional-grade software for scanning and optimizing scanned images In conclusion, OpticFilm 8200i Series can automatically remove the dust and scratches from the scanned image.ĭust and scratches are removed during the scanning process eliminating the need for post-process removal of dust and scratches. Then the calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details.

The image is scanned two times - the first is the regular scan and the second is the additional infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only. SilverFast iSRD utilizes this behavior as follows. Infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it. The OpticFilm 8200i scanner has an infrared channel that finds all the the dust and scratches on the film surface. Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully. With a dynamic range of up to 3.6 D, you will rediscover how beautiful and natural the highlights and shadows are in analog photography.

Dynamic range is the range of recordable light from darkest to lightest on the exposed film that a scanner can read.
