The application also provides additional essential image correction tools, such as red-eye removal, color correction, white balance, and exposure adjustment. Advanced SilverFast features, including ACR, USM, GANE, Selective Color Correction, and JobManager, allow the amateur, the prosumer and professional photographer to achieve the desired results from their digital photographic images.
SilverFast DC Pro Studio supports the Raw Data Formats for many professional digital cameras from Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Fuji and Sigma. The conversion of the raw data takes place as a time-saving background process and the results are stored automatically. Hence, the user can re-open converted files without losing time.
Why SilverFast DC? Work like a Pro x Control the workflow x Use the full potential of the cameras raw format x Apply SilverFasts professional color correction x Enhance your image quality x Generate printable files x Make use of many cameras x Work on Mac or PC.
For all listed cameras SilverFast also fully supports Adobe DNG as an input format. If a camera is not listed as supported, not all camera information might be present in the DNG file. Still, such DNG files can of course be read and processed by SilverFast. If your camera or the relevant profile is not available it can be created through us. For this purpose LaserSoft Imaging needs your ready-to-use camera (including a lens, battery, etc.) for approx. 2 hours at its company headquarters in Kiel, Germany. Only a few test-shots under controlled light are needed for this procedure.
Hydra 2.1.3
Hydra is created as an effective editor tool using a number of regular photographs (up to four) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what ones eye can see more>>
Hydra 2.1.3 is created as an effective editor tool using a number of regular photographs (up to four) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what one's eye can see. This is because a single photograph cannot represent the full gamut of light because of physical limitations in the sensor. This process is also known as a high dynamic range, or HDR, imaging. See the screencast tutorials for more information on how to acquire such images with your camera.
The output produced by Hydra is much closer to what your eye actually sees. You don't have to choose whether to have a beautiful sky or buildings, take 2 photos (or more) with perfect parameters for each of them, then combine them with Hydra.
The images that Hydra uses are not required to be taken with a tripod, as it is usually the case with HDR software. Hydra uses the same warping algorithm as Morph Age, which permits the alignment of images with offsets above a few pixels. This is a unique feature that means you can take photos anywhere without a tripod to later blend them in Hydra. This will change your way of making HDRs.

CornerFix 1.1.0.1
CornerFix 1.1.0.1 is yet another extremely useful utility for everyone. It actually corrects for color dependent vignetting in digital images more>>
CornerFix 1.1.0.1 is yet another extremely useful utility for everyone. It actually corrects for color dependent vignetting in digital images. All digital cameras are some extent subject to this; current generation sensors are highly IR sensitive, so there needs to be a IR filter somewhere. But the combination of sensors and IR filters also cuts into the red part of the spectrum, and do so in a way that depends on the angle through which the light bends as it travels to the sensor. So red gets cut more in the corners. Most DSLR's do this a bit - take a picture of a white wall and you will probably see it, although many cameras correct internally to a greater or lesser extent.
Leica's M8 has a particular problem in this regard. Historically, one of the advantages that rangefinder cameras had was that the back of a rangefinder lens can be a lot closer to the film surface than is the case for a film SLR - the SLR needs space for the mirror, which a rangefinder doesn't have. So in the film world, rangefinder lenses had a lot more design freedom that SLR lenses - wide-angle lenses that on a SLR had to be reverse telephoto designs could be normal designs on a rangefinder.
M8's can correct for this problem themselves, but there are two issues for users - firstly, your lenses must be coded, which means that it must be a Leica lens, either new enough to have been coded when it was manufactured, or one that has been sent to the factory to be upgraded. So anyone with a non-Leica lens or one that can't be upgraded is out of luck, unless they somehow code the lens themselves. The second problem is that the M8's correction is "one size fits all"; it's designed for average situations, and sometimes doesn't do well in unusual lighting.
CornerFix allows the cyan corners problem to be corrected for any lens, in more or less any lighting situation, by post processing the camera's image file. The right hand side of the main window in the screen shot shows the corrected image. CornerFix is available for the Mac and for Windows. It's free and open source, released under the GPL. Note however that image must be a DNG formatted file - CornerFix doesn't work with TIFF or JPEG files.
Enhancements: Jul 15 2009
- Devignetting application for Leica M8 digital cameras;
- Fixed the "cyan corners" problem when using wide lens with IR filters and decodes data in the M8's MakerNotes

A Better Finder Rename 8.1.3 is designed as a powerful tool which can allow you to quickly rename multiple files more>>
A Better Finder Rename 8.1.3 is designed as a powerful tool which can allow you to quickly rename multiple files. This powerful, yet easy-to-use utility transforms the often tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds.
A Better Finder Rename is ideally suited for Macintosh webmasters, users who need to transfer files from Windows or UNIX, digital camera owners, as well as for all other Macintosh users who deal with large numbers of files, such as image collections.
Major Features:
- Stunningly simple
- The user interface is designed from ground up to support even the most complex renaming tasks without sacrificing ease and speed of use. Simply drag the files you want to rename straight from the Finder into the large preview table or the application icon.. or use our Finder context menu and hot key.
- Instant Preview feature eliminates guesswork and costly errors and helps you find the right settings quickly and accurately by providing as-you-type feedback.
- Yet devastatingly effective
- A Better Finder Rename's huge array of renaming options are organized into 7 intuitive categories that cover all the text, character, position, conversion and truncation features that you would expect from a great file renamer. On top of this, A Better Finder Rename provides more advanced features that answer the prayers of many professionals and hobbyists alike.
- Photographers in particular will find the advanced sequence number and date & time features a joy to behold. A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from your digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. Support for all major RAW formats (including JPEG, CRW, CR2, THM, NEF, TIFF, RAJ, ORF , MRW, DNG, PEF, SRF, etc.) extends this to professional photographers. Version 8 now also deals gracefully with multiple shots captured in the same second.
- System administrators, web masters and other power users will appreciate the presence of advanced features, such as regular expression support, conversion to Windows NTFS/SMB compatible names, the ability to import file names from a database, a spreadsheet or any other source that can produce plain or tab-delimited text files. Finally, it allows you to save a record of the current and new file names to facilitate tracking your files.
- Music lovers will be delighted by our MP3/AAC renaming feature that allows you to exploit the id3 meta-data tags embedded in your music files to create your own naming scheme for your music collection. Meta-data information from mp3, aac and iTunes music store files are supported.
- Sometimes, however, a single renaming step is just not enough. Enter the multi-step renaming feature, that let's you combine and re-arrange multiple renaming steps into a single operation.
- For recurring tasks, A Better Finder Rename allows you to save common settings to droplet mini-applications and apply them automatically to all files dropped upon them. Version 8 adds support for saving and loading presets to facilitate the creation of your own renaming library.
- Beautiful inside & out
- Version 8 takes file renaming to a new level of sophistication by introducing an advanced multi-threaded renaming engine that solves many problems that other file renamers simply leave unaddressed. The database-backed renaming engine automatically resolves file name conflicts (when several files would share the same name) using a range of configurable parameters. The sequence in which files are renamed is optimized to avoid deadlocks which could occur when the order in which the files are renamed becomes significant.

RAW Developer 1.8.4
powerful RAW image processing and conversion application designed and optimized specifically for Mac OS X. more>>
RAW Developer 1.8.4 is a very tractable and powerful RAW image conversion application designed and optimized specifically for Mac OS X.
RAW Developer gives advanced photographers total control over every aspect of their digital camera's output, yet still provides easy drag and drop batch conversion and access to basic adjustments for the casual user. Thanks in large part to Dave Coffin's work on the open source RAW decoding program dcraw, RAW developer is able to support files from over 150 digital camera models.
Note that in spite of using portions of dcraw for decoding RAW image files, essentially the entire image processing pipeline is completely unique to RAW Developer this includes the demosaicing algorithms used for all cameras based on RGB color filters (which is nearly all of them), all color management operations, all other processing adjustments, sharpening, noise reduction and final file format conversion.
Major Features:
- Completely non-destructive image processing.
- Fast, High Quality Image Previews
- High Quality Image Processing, 16 bits/channel (48bit RGB) or for some operations 32 bits per/channel high dynamic range floating point
- Easy, flexible batch conversion: High quality image interpolation alogorithms give excellent image detail with minimal demosaicing artifacts. All image processing operations are performed at 16 bits per channel or greater. RAW Developer 1.5 features improved demosaic processing with further refinements to already exceptional image detail and reduced color noise along high contrast edges.
- Advanced Sharpening and Noise Reduction Algorithms: RAW Developer offers four advanced sharpening methods, including unsharp mask, difference of gaussian, "hybrid" sharpen and Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution (Mac OS X 10.4 or later only). All are processed in 32 bits/channel floating point CIELab color space to avoid color artifacts. Powerful hot/dead pixel filters and noise reduction algorithms help eliminate noise, especially from images taken with long exposures or high ISO settings.
- Image File and EXIF Information Window: RAW Developer offers a meta data information window which displays detailed image file and EXIF information.
- Flexible Monochrome (Black And White) Conversion Options: Flexible black and white conversion options including RGB channel mixer, Lab lightness, luma, desaturate, intensity and custom duotones.
- Extensive Image Adjustment Options: You're in total control of every step of the conversion process, multiple fully user editable tone curves, customizable color correction matrix, flexible ICC color matching options, exposure compensation, white balance, contrast, saturation and more.
- ICC Color Management Support through ColorSync: Ability to specify camera or image specific input profiles, working space profiles for image adjustments and final image output profiles. At this time only RGB color spaces are supported.
- Unlimited batch processing: You can continue making image adjustments while other images are converted in the background. Supports, easy drag and drop image conversion with flexible file naming options and support for multiple file formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG2000 and more.
- What You See Is What You Get: RAW developer allows you to view and make all image adjustments while viewing a full resolution, fully color managed, 16 bit per channel preview.
- Support for EXIF Meta Data: EXIF meta data is supported when exporting to JPEG or TIFF image formats. Supported fields depend on camera model, but generally include shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, focal length, exposure mode, metering mode, flash information, camera make/model and date digitized.
- Flexible Histogram View: Supports 256, 512 or an extra wide 1024 levels of detail. Viewing modes include RGB, individual R, G, B channels, all three colors at once, CIE Lightness, CIE Luminance, CIE Chroma (ab), luminosity, hue and saturation.
- Multithreaded and Velocity Engine (AltiVec) (or SSE) optimized: Takes full advantage of multi-core and multi processor systems and the advanced capibilities of the PowerPC G4 and G5 and Intel processors. All image processing is handled by secondary threads so your work is never blocked waiting for processing to complete.
- "Processing Disabled" Output Mode: Ability to bypass all image adjustments and all color matching operations for fast, high quality export of linear files intended for further processing with other image processing programs or RAW workflows. Also useful for creating non-color matched output for use in generating custom camera or scene profiles with ICC camera profiling software.
