SilverFast DCPro Studio 6.5r6
SilverFast DCPro Studio is designed to meet all the needs of photographers. more>>
SilverFast DCPro Studio 6.5r6 is designed to combine the unlimited functionality of SilverFastAi with the unique Virtual Light Table. The light table is a workbase that no photographer wants to miss, who likes to organize, manage and resume images in an easy way. Beside the ingenious magnifying functionality, the user profits also via Presets adjustable Graphical User Interface (GUI), the colour temperature and the Red-Eye-Correction.
SilverFast DCPro supports Raw Data Format of professional Digital Cameras e.g: Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Fuji and Sigma. The conversion of the raw data format takes place as a time-saving background process and the result is being stored automatically. Hence, the user can re-open already converted files without time loss.
Major Features:
- SilverFast Launcher
- 48 Bit Real Time Correction
- SilverFast Jobmanager
- Camera Raw Formats: CRW, DCR, NEF, MRW, RAF, ORF, X3F
- Background Raw Data Conversion
- VLT Virtual Light Table
- EXIF and IPTC Information
- Unique Magnifying functionality
- Red-Eye Correction
- Color Temperature Control
- Exposure Control
- IT8 Calibration & ICC Profiler inclusive
- Online Quick Time Movies Training
- Support for Sinarback 54 (CS1) and 43(CS 16).
- Fixed problem with JPEG files when exif data is embedded.
- Support for "Jenoptic Eyelike"- camera raw format added.Problem in Rawfile conversion with Olympus C5050 camera solved.
- Automatic import of image media in VLT now supports multiple directories (image files in all subdirectories are imported).As shot" mode for Nikon D70, D100 and D2H enabled.
- Drag&Drop of a folder from the navigator to an album now added.
- AltiVec for white balance Fix for crash when applying white balance to Kodak raw images.
- "As shot" mode for Nikon D70, D100 and D2H enabled.
- Leica Digilux 2 Older firmware of Leica Digilux 2 generates different RAW files. Now SilverFast can read both.
- Apply correct white balance to the FullScreen-Preview process, such that its result is identical to the thumbnails of the SilverFast preview.
- Speed up whitebalance for the FullScreen-Preview with AltiVec support.
- New individual RAW conversion profiles available:
- Nikon D70, 8700,
- Fuji F700, S5000, S7000
- Minolta A2
- Panasonic DMC-LC1
- Enhanced Print Dialog: Added Popup to select the printer, a button to directly invoke the printer properties dialog and a status text showing the selected paper type and size and the print resolution.
- When generating thumbnails from a converted RAW file, it will now get generated using the 16bit data (applying the white balance and gamma to the 16bit data and afterwards converting to 8bit instead of applying the corrections to the 8bit data), resulting in better quality.
- Automatic Highlight & Shadow Point for Full Screen Previews and a Gamma Curve to lighten up Midtones. Makes VLT Fullscreen Previews look (even) better, increases Saturation, forces Blackpoint and decreases Gamma.
- DC Pro: Improved RAW conversion from Kodak 14n files resulting in higher quality images due to improved Whitebalance implementation. When switching from VLT to Silverfast back and forth the dpi setttings could not be selected--> fixed.
- Switching in Fullscreenpreview between Images in Album could lead to corrupted Preview. This dialog has been replaced with a blue progress bar and the preview works now.
- Enhanced Printdialog: This feature is now available in all Silverfast Versions that contain the VLT.
- Increased Fullscreen performance and color accuracy for RAW file images.
- Default internal workspace profile is now AdobeRGB(1998) for all Silverfast versions.
- Speed up whitebalance for the FullScreen-Preview with AltiVec support.
- Main highlights are:
- Real-Time Correction on large Preview
- Auto-Adjust with Artificial Intelligence
- Selective Colour Correction
- Predictable Colour with CMYK Softproof
- ICC Colour Management with IT8 Calibration
- Unique Unsharp Masking and Focus Control
- The unique workflow guidance with ScanPilot helps the novice user to follow the optimum workflow to get to a brilliant image right from the start.

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
Raw Photo Processor 3.9.8
Raw Photo Processor is developed to be a smart RAW converter which can work with almost all available digital RAW formats. more>>
Raw Photo Processor 3.9.8 is developed to be a smart RAW converter which can work with almost all available digital RAW formats. Think of it as of a development machine in terms of film photography - first you have to develop your roll right, then do whatever you want with it. So this is NOT a full featured photo processing package, you will need Photoshop or some other tool to apply sharpness, cropping and so on, but you may use RPP for some very carefully picked amount of operations.
The main idea behind this application is to do quality conversion without blocking shadows, clipping highlights, spoiling colors and returning that natural film-like look to your pictures.
Enhancements:
- Added support for Canon 7D, G11; Leica M9; Nikon D300S, D3000; Panasonic FZ35, FZ38, GF1.
- Preliminary support for Sony A850
- New improved profile for Nikon D300
