- When opening an image, process it and open another one, the first image will still be displayed. You have to restart, to open another image
- Strange way to save images
- When moving the mid-tone slider (in histogram) to the left, the image will get darker (???)
- ACDSeepro will not open tif-files from SF-HDR8

You believe this to be Beta?

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting, we believe to have found the culprit of this issue. The next update will have a bugfix for this

Yes, it is correct, the image will get darker (as it is supposed to)

Well, it is a pre-release version and definitely there is room for improvement, as indicated in one of the dialogues every time you start the program.



Thanks for your cooperation

Cheers

Well, when moving the mid-tone slider (in histogram) to the left, the image usually (SF HDR 6.6, Photoshop, ....) gets brighter, not darker.


Again: ACDSeepro will not open tif-files from SF-HDR8. This is the first time, ACDSeepro cannot open a tif-file. There must be something special in your SF8-files

Hi, we implemented an additive interpretation to the midtone-slider of the histogram in SF8. SF 6.6 as well as Photoshop's interpretation of the midtones is based on a subtractive interpretation which back in the days was normally applied when working on CMYK-files, with CMYK being a subtractive color model. Hardly anybody scans for a single output purpose these days - we all scan in a medianeutral workflow to a preferrably large RGB (additive color model) working spaces. So for SilverFast 8 we felt that it makes more sense to implement an additive behaviour to the midtone-slider because we're all workin in RGB now.

You got that right, SilverFast tif-files are very special Seriously, we have to check out why ACDSeepro won't open our files. I will report back here in this thread.

Best,
