What is Silverfast iSRD
Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully. Removing them one-by-one takes a tremendous amount of time, since often hundreds or thousands of small defects (dust grains or lint) are found on the original image, which only become visible after digitization. LaserSoft Imaging has developed a reliable solution to this problem.
Contrary to conventional techniques SilverFast‘s dust and scratch removal functionality iSRD® is based on the hardware.
It is using the scanner‘s infrared channel for defect detection. Infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it. iSRD utilizes this behavior as follows. The image is scanned two times – the first is the regular RGB scan and the second is the additional infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only. Then the calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details.

Excellent service with multiple storage options including USB’s, iCloud storage, a 1 month link to stored files with Photo Digital Services. Both Kylie & Shane were very approachable & friendly, open to questions & on all occasions ready to suggest examples of how the photographs could be restored and saved for family. Attention to detail is a hallmark of their work and service.

Shane did such excellent work scanning my treasured memories. The turnover was quicker than expected and he even took the time to scan the back of photos that had dates and notes on them. Communication was 100% as well. You can rest assured your photos are in good hands with Photo Digital Services.
