LaserSoft Imaging

It's all very subjective, but I actually find the Kodak VR profile quite pleasing. Apparently it's similar to Ektar, so maybe try that (but I don't like Ektar so...)

Maybe Lasersoft will make Cinestill 50 and 800 profiles for us. If we ask nicely...

Hello, Please somebody explain to me what I'm doing wrong here. I have an OpticFilm 120 with Silverfast 8.8.0r8 Ai Studio. I want to set up several frames from a 6x9 preview. Following the instructions in the Job Manager documentation, I do the following: - Prescan - set up the first frame but then:...

Yes, I opened with Adobe Lightroom. The only change made through Lightroom was to add IPTC Copyright data. I thought Silverfast is IPTC-compliant ?

Hi, This evening I had a bad shock when opening SF 8 HDR. In the VLT, most image previews are no longer showing the HDRi RAW badge, and when I open one of these, and try an Auto CCR correction, the results are horrible. The only files which show HDRi RAW, and which process correctly, are files I pre...

Dear Silverfast Team, Could you please explain the meaning / function of the two items in Preferences / Special: Maximum offset for iSRD alignment (default: 70px) Maximum offset for ME alignment (default: 20px) They sound very interesting, especially as I have problems with both of these features. T...

Hi - I'm just getting into using my Canoscan 9000F for a major archive scanning project, and I've noticed a few things which I'd appreciate advice / help / suggestions on: 1. Input settings: I have a mix of Kodachrome & Ektachrome. I want to scan in the order that the slides are in their storage...

Great, thanks - and I've just discovered that the Zoom tool works now

The current version (r14) has now expired.

This is not very encouraging...

Last night I downloaded the latest version of HDR 8. I'm sure there have been various improvements under the hood, but superfically progress seems very slow. It must be 9 months since the first Beta, and there are still basic features, such as zoom, that don't work (apart from the strangely hidden 1...

Hi, Two points about 8.0.1r6 1. I'm sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, or if I'm just blind, but has the Color Cast Removal slider vanished ? This is such a time-saver and probably my favorite feature in Silverfast! 2. Output default file naming has always been a bit weird for me in HDR 6.6. S...

I think I'm becoming far too regular on this forum... sorry, just having too much fun with Silverfast :-) I've been looking at the auto sharpening filters in HDR Studio, and I noticed that when I open a file from my Minolta DMSP, sometimes I get different (more) steps: sometimes I get "More Aut...

Hi - I have used Auto-IT8 for calibrating my new Canoscan 9000F using a 35mm Lasersoft target. Is this recommended, or should I be using a larger transparency ? When I compare a scan with a scan from my Minolta DSMP (which is very close to the original transparency) , the colour balance is not quite...

Ok thanks -

I think I'll actually just use HDR Studio.... Life is too short for Photoshop

Best wishes
David

ps - I must learn to spell my name correctly

Thanks Arne - 0:4 ... and it looks like you still have all your luck unused :-) I have a final question about manipulating HDR files - out of curiosity this weekend, I've been trying to replicate the Silverfast Histogram / Curves behaviour in Photoshop, applying a 2.2 Gamma correction using Levels t...

Hi - I'm a bit puzzled about the "for HDR Output" option next to Gamma-Gradation in General Options, and how it relates to Gamma expected in 48bit/HDR in HDR Studio. According to Ian Lyons' tutorial, one should not check the option if one is using IT-8 calibration. But he also says the Gam...
