Silverfast Software Helps Move to Mac Platforms

The Colour Collective is are now able to offer owners of Linotype Hall and Heidelberg scanners the chance to update their scanning software and move over to the latest Mac platforms

SilverFast 6.5.5 is the only software that now supports the entire range of Linotype Hell/Heidelberg High End scanners, like Chromagraph 3300/3400, Topaz, Nexscan, Tango/XL and Primescan on the most modern operating system Mac OS-X TIGER (10.4) as well as for the announced Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

The fully automatic IT8 calibration, the automatic rotation, Adobe Photoshop CS3 compatibility as well as the increased processing speed, are just a few of SilverFast's top new highlights.

Der Spiegel, Germany's leading news magazine located in Hamburg, uses the combination of SilverFast Ai Studio and SilverFast HDR Studio to drive its High End scanners, Heidelberg Nexscan.

"SilverFast allows us to finally use the latest Macs with Intel Processors" says Reinhard Wilms, editorial technician at Der Spiegel.

For all customers that use desktop or film scanners for processing analogue photos, films or negatives the new SilverFast feature Multi-Exposure offers an additional functionality by increasing the details of their images; especially in the shadow areas but even the highlights of the image are enhanced.

Unlike conventional Multi-Sampling, merely reducing noise, SilverFast Multi-Exposure scans the original image with different exposures, increasing the dynamic range.

At present, LaserSoft Imaging supports over 350 current scanner models.

SilverFast V6.5.5 runs natively on the new Intel and power PC based Mac computers.
