I was on the Lasersoft website recently, and I noticed they have a version of Silverfast that takes a normal scan and a slow scan. The slow scan enables the scanner to gather greater detail in the shadows. The two scans are combined to give a resulting scan that has increased dynamic range. It's called their multi-exposure technology. It's available in both their Studio version and their Archive Suite version. It's also available in a third configuration, althought I can't remember what it's called.
Has anyone used this approach? If so, how well does it work in practice? It sure sounds interesting.
