HDRi for Nikon Coolscan 5000 for Windows

Postby briank » Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:26 am

It appears that the Silverfast HDRi feature is only available for a Nikon Coolscan 5000 in the Mac version, but not the Windows version. Will the Windows version be rewritten at some point to add that capability?

Thanks!

Dear briank,
we are thinking about that.
The whole point of rewriting the Mac version was to overcome the MAID compatibility problem on the newer OSX machines.
On the PC there was no such problem, but now we may have reason enough to also write the NikonSF project instead of the NikonM project for PC.

best regards,

Nils Heidorn

Thank you very much for your quick response Nils.

The ability to post-edit the infrared channel in HDR is, I think, a major step forward for Silverfast and a great selling point for HDR. I would very much like to encourage Silverfast to implement this advance in the Coolscan 5000 for Windows users in the near future.

I'll second that request as well Nils, I too am running a Nikon Coolscan 5000 on Windows Vista and would like that feature... Thanks!
