"My favorite for converting and adjusting digital camera RAW files remains the LaserSoft SilverFast DC applications from the inexpensive SE version through VLT to the professional PRO Studio. Besides having the familiar interface and tools I've preferred for scanning, it is the only RAW camera file application I know of that offers a variable control to identify and eliminate color casts, as well as the ability to selectively use HSL adjustment to just one segment of the color spectrum without effecting the overall color balance of the image. SilverFast DC may not be the slickest interface for convenient pre-editing, but it makes up for it in precise, sophisticated adjustment controls producing the best image quality for me."

Plug-In Of The Month

Of all the raw conversion software that's available to amateur and advanced amateur photographers one of the most overlooked is LaserSoft's (www.silverfast.com) SilverFast DC VLT (Virtual Light Table) that also lets you archive your photographs, add comments to image files, lay out albums or contact sheets, and print pictures in different sizes. DC VLT works with JPEG, TIFF, and raw files to adjust the color balance, saturation, smoothness, and sharpness instead of using the camera's automatic settings. The list of raw formats SilverFast DC VLT supports is huge and you can check to see if yours is listed at https://www.silverfast.com/show/dc-cameras-raw/jp.html. In addition to these formats, DC VLT supports the all-but-forgotten Photo CD as well as the emerging Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format.

Scanjet 8300

HP's own Photosmart software suite is supplied. The Scan Pro scanning application is disappointing - it's highly automated with only basic override controls. It makes sense to always use the vastly superior SilverFast AI scanning software. This provides full professional color and density controls, plus batch scanning. It includes a software dust remover, though this is poor. Adobe Photoshop Elements is supplied for Mac or Windows with both models.

Raw Converter Software

LaserSoft's approach to digital camera raw file conversion and adjustment is an adaptation of their very successful scanner driver application, SilverFast Ai 6 and SE. This makes it a particular advantage to the many scanner users who have experience with SilverFast because the tools and functions are essentially the same. There is, in fact, little real difference between the raw data produced by a scanner's CCD and the raw data produced by a digital camera once the latter is translated and opened into a preview in SilverFast DC's work space. LaserSoft's SilverFast DC VLT has a price of $85 and provides support for 50 of the most popular digital camera makes and models.
