Dynamic Range for Scanners Brought to Peak Level
Kiel, 05.12.2006 - LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast, the world standard in scanning software, has now taken a quantum leap in the evolution of genuine High Dynamic Range Imaging. This new function in SilverFast version 6.5 utilizes varying exposures of the scan. This dramatically increases the dynamic range allowing even the most subtle nuances in both shadow and highlight areas to be recognized and enhanced.
The SilverFast Multi-Exposure function is based on the principle of the distinguished Multi-Sampling Feature (multiple scan) with auto-alignment®. With Multi-Sampling the picture is scanned several times using the same settings, in order to identify and minimize noise. With Multi-Exposure the dynamic range of the scanners is utilized by repeating the scan, but with different exposure intensities. This creates a dynamic range comparable to that of a drum scanner. The patented auto-alignment secures the precision of the scan allowing for optimal sharpness and clarity.
Using established film scanners, precise measurements were taken at LaserSoft Imaging's lab where dynamic increases and qualitative improvements of 25% using Multi-Exposure were documented. With this dynamic increase, the new SilverFast 6.5 can dramatically improve the results of image capture for both reflective and transparent originals.
Finally, Multi-Exposure offers another advantage over Multi-Sampling: Multi-Exposure achieves the same quality in substantially less time.
Another novelty and an impressive highlight of the new SilverFast 6.5 is called the SilverFast ColorServer. New possibilities of automation and flexibility completely redefine the process of digital imaging, allowing a substantial increase in productivity.
In addition to the new functions such as Multi-Exposure and the ColorServer, SilverFast's new Basic mode offers beginners an easy entry into the world of digital imaging with SilverFast.
The AutoFrame detection, an extended NegaFix dialogue, the proven selective color correction SCC with new presets, as well as the Ai-HDR auto-gamma optimization complete the spectrum of SilverFast 6.5.
About the company: Founded by the physicist Karl-Heinz Zahorsky in 1986, LaserSoft Imaging AG, SilverFast is now established as the world-wide standard for scan software, while SilverFastHDR and SilverFastDCPro have become well-known software applications to work with RAW data of scanners and digital cameras.
SilverFast is bundled by many well known hardware manufacturers such as Canon, Epson, HP, Microtek, Pentacon, Plustek, Quatographic, Reflecta, Samsung, Umax and many others.
Currently, there are more than 1,5 million installations of SilverFast world wide. After 20 years of successful development, Silverfast 6.5 is sure to be another milestone of convincing quality and productivity.

LaserSoft Imaging and Color Solutions: Color correct and perfect instead of somewhat colored!
SilverFast DCVLT and basiCColor Squid2 establish a completely calibrated workflow for digital imaging: Squid2 + SilverFast
Kiel, 22.11.2006 - The currently best market solution for reliable monitor calibration - regardless if CRT or TFT- has been developed by Color Solutions. The product is called basiCColor SQUID and is now available in a bundle SilverFast DCVLT, -DCPro and -DCProStudio. The times of "wrong" colors on the monitor and in the output are now finally gone.
For the very attractive price of only EUR 285,- ambitious photo-enthusiasts now have the chance to purchase this unique combination of two leading imaging products.
The software for optimizing digital images by LaserSoft Imaging and basiCColor Squid2 for monitor calibration are now being offered by the two companies in a combined package.
For professionals, there is following offer: DCPro incl. Squid2 for 499,- Euro and DCPro Studio incl. Squid2 for 599,- Euro, by which individual camera profiles may be generated.
Leading corporations such as the publishing houses Burda and Bauer and agencies like Springer&Jacobi and Scholz&Friends were accompanied by Mr. Koch (Color Solutions) and his institution at inauguration of color Management and very often reached the very limits of all available solutions.
This offer saves unaided and und troublesome research of finding reliable solutions. In comparison to different alternatives, SilverFast DCVLT has the advantage of RAW-conversion and an integrated print function. These packages are always available for Macintosh and Windows platforms.
This product bundle can be purchased directly on the homepages of LaserSoft Imaging www.silverfast.com and at Color Solutions www.basiccolor.de.
