  • IMPROVEMENT:
    • all iSRD: Slight straightening of iSRD Workflow: formerly a new layer was created when the User ticked the SRD checkbox. Now it simply switches from iSRD to SRD, if the User wants to combine iSRD & SRD he has to create a new layer.
  • BUGFIX:
    • all Canon SDK: Sometimes after scanning some transparencies a colorcast started to show ( sometimes strong, sometimes weak ). This was especially visible on the Canon 8800F, but also on other Canon Scanners. This instability has been fixed by changing the way we calibrate.

    • Chromagraph Mac & PC: Added 48 / 16 Bit Output for Linotype Chromagraph Scanners. Although they only deliver 24/8 Bit, we now allow users to Output the 48 Bit we use internally. These data have been achieved by Log to linear Interpolation and is by far better then linear 24/8 Bit data.

    • All SE: Batch Scanning is now enabled for ALL SE Versions !

  • NEW:
    • General: we added the following white balance profiles for the SilverFast DC line of Products: Sony Alpha 100, Leica V-Lux 1, LEICA DIGILUX 3, Pentax K200D, Panasonic L10, Pentax K200D, Pentax K20D, Ricoh GR Digital II, Sony Alpha 200, Sony Alpha 300, Sony Alpha 350,
    • Nikon 35 mm Scanners: We added native Support for Nikon LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-50 and LS-40. This means we no longer need Nikon Drivers to be installed on OS X for these scanners and are able to profide rock solid Leopard support for these Scanners
    • All flatbed scanners that can be IT8-calibrated: It is now possible to activate the new "Printer Profiling Wizard" by an appropriate serial number.
  • IMPROVEMENT:
    • CMS: Long file names of ICC profiles were listed truncated in the Option dialog's CMS panel. Now the full file name (without path) is used.

  • BUGFIX:
    • Microtek ScanMaker 9800 XL: Scans of high Multi-Sampling factors and large heights (in pixels) were scanned distorted. Corrected this by reading the true image height from the scanner in an alternative manner.
