Extended print dialog with copy function:
The extended print dialog of SilverFast Ai Studio offers the possibility of printing
images or image areas selected by frames from the scan preview. The selected
images can be scaled, rotated or positioned manually on the print sheet. A 1:1
printout, similar to a photocopy, is also possible. The position of the images
on the print sheet is given by the position on the scanner preview.
Picture Setting Dialog
This dialog displays a real-time output histogram showing the effects of all SilverFast Ai Studio settings on the final scan.
The Clone Tool
A powerful 16-bit Clone Tool, extending the previously implemented SRD function, has now been developed. Major defects and severe scratches on the image may easily be removed or corrected. Entire areas of the image may be removed, retouched and altered. SilverFast Ai Studio may now be used for complex catalog production - without the need for additional imaging programs or tools.
Zooming in SilverFast
SilverFast Ai Studio now allows the ability to zoom into the HighRes Prescan
at
any
position
on the scan table without prescanning again.
Unsharp Mask PLUS
The USM dialog and its preview windows may now be freely resized and enlarged.
This way, better control of the image is achieved before scanning, allowing the
user to
monitor the final sharpening effects on a much larger preview.
JPEG 2000 support
The support of the JPEG 2000 format enables SilverFast's strongest compression to process such
data up to 7 times faster than any other imaging software. In combination with
SilverFast's HiRePP function, even 3GB files may be compressed and re-opened very quickly.
In addition Raw data can be compressed with full 48 bits.
Using IPTC data:
The storage and administration of scanned image files is very convenient due to the possibility of adding individual comments (meta tags), which are stored within the picture (embedded into the picture data) according to the ITPC standard.
Now SilverFast DC VLT is even more attractive!
SilverFast DC VLT was designed for ambitious hobby photographers allowing them to directly
modify the original data captured- the raw image data - which unlike standards such as JPEG
and TIFF - producing images with superior high quality, white balance and maximum amount of
image details. Raw images are often called "Digital Negatives" by photographers due to the
maximum dynamic range they contain. Accessing the raw image before conversion into formats
like JPEG and TIFF allows users to adjust the color balance, saturation, smoothness and
sharpness instead of using the camera's automatic settings.
The user also benefits from the adjustable Graphical User Interface (GUI), color temperature control, exposure adjustment and the Red-Eye-Correction. Numerous online
You get all this at an unbeatable price of US$ 99.00!
