Capture RAW data with SilverFast 6.6.1

LaserSoft Imaging presents the new SilverFast 6.6.1, the first software in the world to perfectly capture raw data from photographs and slides.

To effectively, quickly and thoroughly protect valuable memories against decay and destruction, the Kiel software company has developed a format that contains not only all image information, but also the dust and scratch information derived from the scanner’s infrared channel: the 64-bit HDRi format.

This file serves as the ideal starting starting point for further processing steps - regardless of when, how and where. Traditional procedures perform infrared-based dust and scratch elimination directly during the actual digitalisation process, making it impossible to guide the process or modify the results afterwards. In extreme cases, this can cause fine image details to be lost forever, without the user noticing right away.
