SilverFast HDRi - the ideal 64Bit Archive-Format for images containing the maximum Dynamic Range now also includes Dust and Scratches information from the Scanner's Infrared Channel. (英語)

Kiel, Germany, 2009-07-02 - LaserSoft Imaging releasing the new SilverFast 6.6.1, world-wide the first Software, generating perfect raw data from negatives and slides.

In order to generate perfect digital RAW data scanned from your originals, LaserSoft Imaging has developed a new 64 bit HDRi format for SilverFast 6.6.1 which not only contains complete image data but also has embedded the dust and scratch information from the scanner's infrared channel. This new format is the best way to protect your precious memories against destruction, loss or fading!

The 64bit HDRi file serves as a starting point for all further image editing steps - regardless when, where and how. Other approaches process dust and scratch removal during the scan process itself, without any possibility to control or influence the process afterwards. In any case, this can lead to final loss of fine image details without the user ever noticing.

The new 64 bit HDRi format from LaserSoft Imaging contains the full dynamic range data of the original plus all image correction data in one file. HDRi surpasses the principle of "Destructive-Editing" since the user can always optimize all corrections over again. Instead of driving the scanner directly, SilverFast HDRi enables the user to read and process raw data with maximum speed, so as if he would have direct access to his scanner.

LaserSoft Imaging® introduces the perfect Kodachrome Workflow (英語)

Kiel, Germany, 2009-03-25 - LaserSoft Imaging® has perfected the workflow for Kodachrome slides. As a result scanning of Kodachromes becomes easy and the new Kodachrome IT8-Target guaranties perfect colors.

Without appropriate IT8-Calibration scans from Kodachromes will exhibit a typical bluish color cast. With SilverFast's Auto-IT8-Calibration and the new "Original Kodachrome Calibration Target" the bluish cast will be completely eliminated.

In order to achieve the optimum Kodachrome workflow, it is recommended to activate SilverFast's award-winning Multi-Exposure, after IT8-Calibration has been completed. Only then the Dynamic Range of Kodachromes of up to 3,8D can be fully realized. Thereafter the unique combination of iSRD® and SRD® can remove dust and scratches from Kodachromes. SilverFast is the only software world-wide handling this special workflow!

LaserSoft Imaging® offers a rebate of 25% on all calibration targets until the end of April 2009. This offer also includes the new Kodachrome Targets.
