The workflow for scanning printed originals always starts by selecting 'Photo' as the source. Clicking the icon starts the WorkflowPilot – its color then changes to blue. When SilverFast is launched, the WorkflowPilot is initially deactivated, which is indicated by the red color of the icon. The WorkflowPilot can be found at the top left of the program window. The WorkflowPilot gives the user the opportunity to evaluate this himself in each specific case – the user has full control over his own scans, and the WorkflowPilot simply supports him with suggestions for suitable tools and filters. The decision to do so depends on the quality and the motif of the original – not every tool is equally suitable for every motif. Users always have the option to check the automatic results of the individual SilverFast tools step by step, make changes, or even eliminate the use of a tool entirely if necessary. The WorkflowPilot puts together the ideal typical workflow for the way the scanned images will later be used, starting from the functions and tools needed. Beginners to the scanning world in particular will find the WorkflowPilot a great help in using the tools available in the right manner and in the right order.
