LaserSoft Imaging has announced the new SilverFast 6.6.1, billed as “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-based 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 (provided it has one): the 64-bit HDRi format. The new 64-bit HDRi format by LaserSoft Imaging registers all the information of the original in its entirety while simultaneously embedding all the correction information in the image file. Instead of directly guiding the scanner, SilverFast HDRi enables the user to read the raw data at maximum speed and process it as though he had direct access to scanner images, LaserSoft claims. Note that because the HDRi feature needs information from the infrared channel of the scanner, it is necessary to make sure that iSRD is available and supported for your scanner model.
