Optimized Archiving Solution with SilverFast Archive Suite
(Information on our beginner version SilverFast Archive Suite SE you will find here ...)


LaserSoft Imaging® presents a unique solution for fast and easy archiving of slides, negatives and reflective originals. With the new SilverFast Archive Suite you get a bundle of two programs: SilverFast Ai IT8 Studio and SilverFast HDR Studio. Since both programs are equipped with optimum functions, you will enjoy maximum processing speed as well as an efficient workflow. An integrated color management system, which meets professional standards, completes the convincing package.

The SilverFast Archive Suite consists of the two programs:
SilverFast Ai IT8 Studio und SilverFast HDR Studio

The HDR Workflow
Using the intelligent frame-finding option and the fast saving of originals into lossless HDR file formats (48Bit RAW data) enables you to quickly digitize whole image collections. That's how you effectively prevent your pictures from being destroyed or getting lost.

The combination of SilverFast's Multi-Exposure and patented auto IT8 calibration provides the best quality and safety possible. Since calibration data gets embedded into the files, you don't need to calibrate again when opening and processing the files with SilverFast HDR Studio afterwards. A permanent gamma value synchronization of the 48Bit data secures predictable and consistent brightness and color reproduction between SilverFast Ai IT8 Studio and SilverFast HDR Studio.

After scanning with SilverFast Ai IT8 Studio, you can convert the RAW files with SilverFast HDR Studio. The conversion process uses the HiRePP function. HiRePP allows amazingly fast opening of huge files in real time and the ability to work with them almost instantly. Work with your RAWs at your workstation or in an external environment - or send them to Hawaii to have them processed there.

The SilverFast Archive Suite will enable you to perform all the necessary steps for the professional and lossless digital backup of your treasured collections (which may have taken years or even decades to establish) on your own, without having to give them up to someone else.

NEW: The SilverFast HDRi RAW data format with infrared channel
The HDRi feature is part of any SilverFast HDR and Archive Suite edition version 6.6.1 or later. Therefore, the 64bit HDRi color files (and the 32bit grayscale files, respectively) developed contain all readable image information, including the information of the infrared channel, the data from which can be used for image optimization (e.g. dust and scratch removal). Hence, HDRi RAW data is the perfect source material for any later post- processing steps. Read more about SilverFast HDRi.

NEW: SilverFast's auto-USM for HDR and DC is now aligned to the scanner

With version 6.6.1r4 SilverFast saves scanner related information along with the image data. This allows an advanced automatic Unsharp Masking for the later post-processing with SilverFast HDR, which takes the specific scanner details into account and is therefore able to produce brilliant, pin sharp images. Read more about the SilverFast Unsharp Masking.

NEW: Hot-Folder system for effective processing (optional)
The automatic Hot-Folder feature makes image optimization time-saving and effective. Post-processing, optimization or color space conversion of several images runs automatically, instead of requiring a time-consuming manual adjustment. Read more: the SilverFast Hot-Folder system.
Note: The Hot-Folder feature is available as an Add-On with costs for the Archive Suite.
