  • NegaFix: Provides over 120 film profiles to ensure accurate color conversion for negative films.

  • Višestruka ekspozicija: Scans the image multiple times to increase the dynamic range, capturing more detail in shadows and highlights.
  • Video vodiči: SilverFast includes integrated QuickTime tutorial videos for each function, accessible directly within the software to guide you through its features.

4. Održavanje

Pravilno održavanje osigurava dugotrajnost i optimalne performanse vašeg skenera.

4.1 Čišćenje skenera

Regularly clean the scanner's exterior and film path to prevent dust and debris from affecting scan quality.

  • Koristite meku krpu koja ne ostavlja dlačice dampened with a mild cleaning solution (e.g., water or screen cleaner) to wipe the exterior.
  • For the film path and glass surfaces, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust.
  • Važno: Do not attempt to open the scanner casing. Internal cleaning should only be performed by authorized service personnel.

4.2 Film and Slide Preparation

Dust and scratches on your original film or slides are the primary cause of imperfections in scanned images. While the scanner's iSRD feature is effective, pre-cleaning your media is highly recommended.

  • Before loading, use a small air blower (like a photographic dust blower) to remove loose dust particles from your film and slides.
  • Avoid touching the film surface directly with your fingers. Handle film by the edges or wear clean cotton gloves.
