Beside others, the multitasking capability of SilverFast 8 is a real feature highlight. It allows the user to follow a new way of working, which I have so far not seen in any scanner software.
No long Idle Times
SilverFast is multitasking capable. That means, for certain tasks the user is no longer forced to interrupt his workflow to wait for the scanner or a complex SilverFast calculation.
For example, if several originals should be scanned in a row, the user can already set the image optimization adjustments of the second scan, while the scanner captures the first original.
Note: For using Multi-Tasking during a scanning operation to set the image optimization for the next image scan, a flatbed scanner is needed, since it can take several image originals at a time. Multi-Tasking can be used with other scanners only if multiple scan frames are used on individual imagess.
