LaserSoft Imaging

I recently purchased the Ai Studio 6.6 1r6 and HDR Studio 6.6 1r6a to use with a new Epson 750 Pro scanner. I need to scan lots of old Hasselblad 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 color negatives. I have had limited success and am basically lost in the process! Does anyone have any idea when the new users manual will be available for the latest SilverFast software (Ai Studio and HDR Studio)? The videos are only ok and I have one monitor so jumping between a video and the actual program is not very useful. An actual manual would be extremely helpful for a real novice. OR, can you point me towards a reference guide which would help me to get started? Many thanks, Arthur

Dear Arthur,

The user manual is reviewed and updated constantly. There might be some parts with old graphics or keyboard shortcuts but in general the information contained there is still pertinent to the latest version of the program.

Producing a completely updated version of the user manual is a very long process and takes lots of resources. But as I mentioned, the manual is being constantly updated.

Please make sure you download the latest version from: http://www.silverfast.com/knowledge/ under the documentation category.

Kind regards

For the basics, have a look at Ian Lyon's tutorials.

supplement those with the manual.

Dear degrub, In looking at Ian Lyons tutorials, I believe that I have begun to find my way in using the scanning software. Many many thanks, Arthur
