Imaging will be releasing new versions of its SilverFast digital
imaging software to be called SilverFast SE and SilverFast DC-SE.
The new "lite" versions are designed for imaging in
the lower end of the scanner and digital camera market.
SilverFast
SE is designed to work with all major scanners, while SilverFast
DC-SE can process data from all digital cameras. The software
uses "intelligent" auto-adjust and LAB-Unsharp masking,
which does not sharpen the color noise of single channels, but
instead only sharpens the image's edges. SilverFast SE/DC-SE includes
a real-time processing preview and major major features of the
higher-end SilverFast Ai, including:
- Real-Time
Correction
- Auto-adjust
with Artificial Intelligence
- Unsharp
Masking
- Color Cast
Removal Slider
- Simple
Selective Color Correction
- RGB-TIFF
and JPEG output formats.
- Show and
print all images in the Picture Overview
It
also includes a wizard for novice users called ScanPilot guides
the novice user through the optimum steps for brilliant images.
SilverFast DC-SE can also be upgraded to SilverFast DC or SilverFast
DC Pro with SilverFast IT8-Calibration and the SilverFast JobManagement.
This allows for batch correction and processing multiple images
on the fly.
SilverFast
SE and SilverFast DC-SE will be available tomorrow for $49 as
a download from LaserSoft's Web site. It will be available for
Macintosh and Windows. For more information, visit http://www.silverfast.com.
