Getting Started
What is DiaWizard?
DiaWizard is a powerful software application designed to help you digitize and enhance scanned photographic slides (diapositives). It uses advanced algorithms to automatically correct color, remove dust and scratches, and optimize your slide scans for the best possible digital output.
How do I install DiaWizard?
Installation is simple:
- Download the installer for your operating system from our website
- Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions
- Launch DiaWizard and enter your license key (or start the free trial)
- You're ready to start digitizing your slides!
Do I need a special scanner?
DiaWizard works with any flatbed scanner or dedicated slide scanner. We recommend using a scanner with at least 2400 DPI resolution for optimal results. Popular compatible scanners include Epson Perfection series, Canon CanoScan series, and dedicated slide scanners from Plustek and Pacific Image.
Licensing & Purchase
What's included in the free trial?
The 30-day free trial includes full access to all DiaWizard features with no limitations. You can process up to 100 slides during the trial period. There are no watermarks on exported images, and no credit card is required to start the trial.
Can I transfer my license to another computer?
Yes! You can deactivate your license on one computer and activate it on another at any time through the License Manager in the application. Personal licenses allow installation on up to 2 computers for your personal use, though only one can be active at a time.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and bank transfers for enterprise licenses. All transactions are securely processed through our payment partners.
Technical Questions
What file formats does DiaWizard support?
Input formats: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, RAW (various camera formats)
Output formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF (8-bit and 16-bit), PSD, PDF
How does batch processing work?
Simply select multiple scanned slides, choose your enhancement settings, and DiaWizard will automatically process all of them. You can apply the same corrections to hundreds of slides at once, saving hours of manual work. The batch processor runs in the background, so you can continue working on other tasks.
Can I edit individual slides manually?
Absolutely! While DiaWizard excels at automatic processing, it also includes comprehensive manual editing tools. You can adjust color balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, and more. Advanced features include curve adjustments, selective color correction, and clone stamp tool for precise retouching.
What's the maximum resolution DiaWizard can handle?
DiaWizard can process images up to 4800 DPI and file sizes up to 500 MB per image. This means you can work with ultra-high-resolution scans for archival purposes or large format printing without quality loss.
