HDRi RAW - SilverFast's safe and flexible 64bit / 48bit raw data format

3 reasons, why HDRi^RAW is unbeatable:

An HDRi^RAW file cannot be right or wrong, good or bad – HDRi^RAW is always perfect.

Using HDRi^RAWW you will always achieve an optimal basis for your image optimization – no matter whether you are professional or beginner.

With HDRi^RAW you receive image data, comparable to RAW data from analog originals.

HDRi^RAW is particularly suitable for quickly building up a large digital archive, but also as a good basis for the processing of individual images. You will always receive the best quality base data possible without having to be a specialist in scanning or digital imaging.

HDRi^RAW files from analog originals

If you scan photos, slides and negative film always into the HDRi^RAW format, you are always on the safe side. Your analog originals are protected against loss and destruction, once you have digital copies including all capturable image data lying on your hard disk. Based on these data, which remain unchanged, you can perform image optimizations for various applications using SilverFast HDR (Studio).

HDRi^RAW files from digital originals

If you already have created hundreds or thousands of HDR(i) files with a previous SilverFast version, you may easily convert these and all other digital images into the HDRi^RAW format using SilverFast HDR (Studio). Your digital originals will be protected and the optimized and processed images are exported as copies.

I have to say, for most shots I find the JPG scanning works fine. But having the RAW capability has helped me to recover a lot more of the image in old under- or overexposed slides and negatives – thank you.

Jeremy Instone, Customer

With 64-bit HDRi, I can quickly scan the film, and hand off further processing (including dust & scratch removal using iSRD) to SilverFast HDR Studio. The perfomance gains of iSRD over Digital ICE are impressive …

Timothy Gray, Photographer

Using the SilverFast 64-bit HDRi feature, digital images of slides and negatives suitable for archiving can be achieved without any expert knowledge. … Tip: Save money by purchasing scanner and image editing software as a bundle.

This method is a true revolution in terms of optimizing scanner RAW data. All you need to modify your RAW data is SilverFast HDR, which can be purchased in our online shop. In case you do not yet have a SilverFast scanner software package, we recommend the SilverFast Archive Suite. This package includes every tool needed for a perfect HDRi workflow

Requirements

The HDRi feature needs information from the infrared channel of the scanner, so please make sure your scanner supports HDRi. A copy of SilverFast HDR or HDR Studio is required for processing HDRi files.
