SilverFast - Qualitäts-Scanner und Digital Imaging Software aus Deutschland seit 1986
Ein "Target" ist eine Art Messtisch, der die genaue Farberkennungsfähigkeit eines Scanners berechnet und die Besonderheiten des Scanners identifiziert. Für diese Targets gibt es die ISO-Norm 12641, die vom ISO-Komitee im Dezember 2019 um Teil 2 erweitert wurde.
Als Teil dieses Komitees war LaserSoft Imaging sehr eng in den Entwurf und die Ausarbeitung dieser neuen Norm eingebunden, bis sie von der ISO-Kommission angenommen wurde. LaserSoft Imaging ist maßgeblich an der Erstellung dieser neuen Norm beteiligt, die als Meilenstein für eine fortschrittliche und genauere Farbkalibrierung anerkannt werden kann.
LaserSoft Imaging bietet jetzt Farbkalibrierungstargets nach dem bisherigen IT8-Standard 12641-1 sowie nach dem neuen Design 12641-2 an. LaserSoft Imaging produziert sein eigenes IT8-Target und gewährleistet damit höchste Präzision in der Targetherstellung. Weltweit vertrauen Unternehmen auf die unerschütterliche Qualität der LaserSoft Imaging Targets. Die reflektierende Target-Option erzeugt ein Farbprofil für das Scannen von "Top-View"-Material, wie z.B. Fotoprints, während die transparente Target-Option ein Farbprofil für das Scannen von lichtdurchlässigem Filmmaterial, wie z.B. Dias, erzeugt.
Our IT8 targets are equipped with a barcode that enables automatic scanner calibration: Simply insert the IT8 Target, start the calibration assistant and the appropriate reference data is automatically downloaded and calculated with the calibration measurement data to create the individual scanner profile. It is only this easy with SilverFast, and a European patent (EP 1594301) has been granted for this unique development.

The Advanced Part 2 Targets offer more measuring fields than the Standard Part 1 Targets. Part 1 Targets use intelligent algorithms and important measurement points to calculate a calibration profile, while Part 2 profiles contain significantly more measurement points and Part 2 Targets possess additional measurement fields for dark and pastel color tones. The profiles according to Part 2 thus enable an overall increased accuracy.
Auto IT8 Calibration is incredibly easy to use and I noticed an immediate effect when scanning my color transparencies. Having an accurate color profile for your scanner gives you a better start point for your scans and as we all know the better the start point is the better the final result will look.
Another goody from LaserSoft Imaging are the company-made color targets for an IT8 calibration. These extremely accurate targets are used to bindingly set up a scanner in a color-critical process chain.
So far, I can’t see why anyone serious about scanning with your products, and serious about an ICC scanner profile would not use this newer target, just based on a simple gamut comparison of the two!
The full version with IT8 calibration is magnificent! Color is perfect most every time […] The IT8 calibration with the custom targets is by far my favorite tool. Color correction is a very time consuming characteristic of digital imaging and good scans equal less time in the processing of my images for faithful color rendition.
