SilverFast DC is a complete solution for working with digital cameras. 
No other software is needed to create brilliant images from your camera! 
All functions required from input via processing to printing output - 
SilverFast DC handles it all!

The Virtual Light Table "VLT" provides the photographer with the essential working space 
to organize, manage, and process digital images. In one place, the photographer can 
view all images as thumbnail, search for images, create image archives 
attach comments to images, generate a contact sheet of the complete work space 
and print single images at high resolution. For each image, the photographer can also retrieve 
critical EXIF information from his digital image files. 
A special feature of the Virtual Light Table is its unique "Zoom" function. 
To get a complete impression of a given image, the user can monitor the image at 
larger size in the overview or the album window. 
In this mode, the mouse pointer acts as a virtual zoom and shows the desired image area 
at full resolution in the "Zoom Area" window. The user can utilize this control to 
evaluate the 1:1 sharpness and details within the image.



High-end version for 48bit RAW data processing (High Dynamic Range Imaging) with JobManager, 
48 bit color-corrected output, Virtual Light Table and much more 
(optional IT8 calibration) 
The HDR Studio version comes with all features of HDR and DCPro + AACO, JPEG 2000, USMPlus, 
Clone Tool, PrinTao and optional SilverFast PhotoProof.

In order to save RAW data with extended dynamic range (HDR - High Dynamic Range), 
the 48bit TIFF format and the CAMERA RAW format was developed. Even scanners or 
cameras with only 30 or 36 bit capability generate their maximum output range in this format. 
Regardless of the effective dynamic range supplied, the file will always become a 48 bit file. 
Normal scanning software saves images into a 24 bit file, discarding the extra information 
created by the scanner. 48 bit files retain all of the information supplied.

SilverFast HDR Software enables the user to read and process 48 bit RAW files without 
being connected to a scanner. In HDR, all SilverFast tools are available: 
Defining Output Size & Resolution, Auto-Adjust of Highlight/Shadow, Three Part Histogram, 
Gradation Curves, Selective Color Correction, Unsharp Masking, Color Cast Removal Slider, 
Color Separation, CMYK-Preview and more.



Printers, especially multifunction devices, depend significantly on a good software 
to utilize their full potential. 
LaserSoft Imaging believes, more than just a simple print function for a picture 
or document must be available.
SilverFast immediately adapted to the extended needs of today's users and developed 
the ONLY software able to scan, correct, enhance and print any image in a completely 
color-managed and professional way.

* Images can easily be printed in accordance with the customers requirements
* Contact sheets with individually selected images can be printed
* Pictures can be positioned automatically or manually on the preview, 
  with the aid of grids and auxiliary lines.
* Images can be scaled, mirrored, rotated at any angle or cropped in size.
Individual textures may be assigned to each image.
* Text can be positioned above, underneath or besides the images, aligned left, 
  right or center.
* IPTC or EXIF meta data can be assigned to images as well.
* Custom text, freely formatted in font, size, style, color and adjustment can be added.
* Create great looking headlines is a snap!
* The input of copyright notice - with a single click, a copyright notice can be added
