![]() Using the scanner software SilverFast Ai Studio, you create 64bit/ 48bit RAW data for subsequent processing in SilverFast HDR Studio. These RAW files contain all the data of your images and are therefore ideally suited for further optimization and processing. The Archive Suite featuring full SilverFast functionality is ideal for professional use. ![]() 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 data from the infrared channel, whose data can be used for iSRD, SilverFast's dust and scratch removal. Hence, HDRi RAW data is the perfect source material for any later post processing steps. HDR(i) Workflow - (1) IT8 Scanner Calibration
Consistent colors and color management have been and are still in many areas a certain mystery for professionals and even more so for consumers. For some time achieving color consistent scans has been a field dedicated to professional color consultants and operators only. The new SilverFast version assists professionals and enables consumers to benefit from consistent colors without the need to bother with the sophisticated process behind it. With SilverFast, users of all experience levels can achieve color consistent scans by initially calibrating their scanners.
HDR(i) Workflow - (2) Scanning with SilverFast Ai Studio
Using the intelligent frame-finding option and the fast saving of originals into lossless HDR(i) file formats (64bit/ 48bit RAW data) enables you to quickly digitize whole image collections. This way, you can 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 them with SilverFast HDR Studio afterwards. A permanent gamma value synchronization of the 64bit/ 48bit data secures predictable and consistent brightness and color reproduction between SilverFast Ai Studio and SilverFast HDR Studio.
