SilverFast v6.5 released

LaserSoft Imaging today launched SilverFast v6.5, an update to its scanning software that advances High Dynamic Range Imaging by varying exposures of the scan. The company says the new feature "dramatically increases the dynamic range allowing even the most subtle nuances in both shadow and highlight areas to be recognized and enhanced." The SilverFast Multi Exposure function is based on the principle of the distinguished Multisampling Feature (multiple scan) with auto-alignment, the company said. With Multisampling the picture is scanned several times using the same settings, in order to identify and minimize noise, but with Multi Exposure the dynamic range of the scanners is utilized by repeating the scan, but with different exposure intensities. The effect creates a dynamic range comparable to that of a drum scanner, while patented auto-alignment secures the precision of the scan allowing for optimal sharpness and clarity. It runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Pricing is based on scanner model.
