This tool is great for learning the software, but it’s my personality to get in and get “dirty” as soon as possible.Īs mentioned previously, I will be working with negatives for the purpose of this review. While you are in the workflow process you can’t change anything unless you cancel and return to the beginning. Make sure, however, that you select the proper source for the task (scanning for print or negative) you are performing in the “Source” dropdown in the top, right hand corner of that window. For now, however, leave the boxes as they are in the default mode. If you choose to try the Workflow Pilot before you dig deeper into this software, no matter what you are working with you will need to go into the Preferences area, which is at the bottom of the Edit tab, in order to set up the workflow properly.

Although my scanner (Epson Perfection V700 Photo) came with its own software, I wanted the ability to do things that the packaged software simply could not offer. I already had an earlier version of this software and have been very pleased with the results. I recently received SilverFast Ai Studio (left). It is that backlog of product that we have in boxes that I will be addressing in this review. In addition to those images we have stored on a hard drive or in the “cloud,” we also have boxes of negatives and/or slides that are awaiting our attention. Most of us who have been photographing for a while (15+ years) have archives.
