SilverFast - Qualitäts-Scanner und Digital Imaging Software aus Deutschland seit 1986
Effects to the film material due to chemical processes even to already developed film, fading of photographic prints, different light sources during image acquisition – there are many reasons why images may show color casts. Manual correction is time consuming and can lead to falsified colors. The SilverFast Neutral Pipette is a tool, which makes color cast removal very easy.
A mouse click on the icon “Pipette” in the vertical toolbar opens a drop-down menu. By selecting the entry “Neutral Point” the mouse cursor turns into an eyedropper. By clicking on a color area of the image, which should appear neutral, the color correction is performed automatically. The exact change in color values at this point can be seen in the tool dialog “Neutral Pipette”. The neutral point can be deleted and set again at any time.

After pre-scanning, the original shows a blue color cast.
Just setting a neutral point achieves a significant improvement – three mouse clicks, that’s it.
The Neutral Pipette dialog shows before/after RGB values of any neutral point.
Using SilverFast Ai Studio multiple neutral points can be set, for an even more precise color cast removal.
Up to 4 neutral points are possible using SilverFast Ai Studio.
The SilverFast 8 pipette tool is unbeatable. When scanning images with color casts, simply click on an area in the image that should be color neutral and the color cast is gone. This is an ideal tool for me as an absolute beginner of image editing.
Der Zeit- und Arbeitsaufwand für die Bearbeitung und Anpassung der mit der Canon-Software erzeugten Bilder in Photoshop übersteigt bei weitem den Aufwand, der für die Erzeugung besserer Ergebnisse mit den in SilverFast verfügbaren Werkzeugen erforderlich ist. Automatische Funktionen wie Auto-Anpassung, Farbstich-Entfernung und Adaptive Farbwiederherstellung haben die Bearbeitung stark vereinfacht, und ich habe festgestellt, dass die Scans mit SilverFast deutlich schneller sind.
