SilverFast DCPro STUDIO is a high-end Digital Camera Software, that has been designed specially for the needs of photographers. It combines the unlimited functionality of SilverFastAi with the unique Virtual Light Table. The light table is a workbase that no photographer wants to miss, who likes to organize, manage and resume images in an easy way.

Beside the ingenious magnifying functionality, the user profits also via Presets adjustable Graphical User Interface (GUI), the colour temperature and the Red-Eye-Correction.

SilverFast DCPro supports Raw Data Format of professional Digital Cameras.

The conversion of the raw data format takes place as a time-saving background process and the result is being stored automatically. Hence, the user can re-open already converted files without time loss.

Enhanced Print Dialog: Added Popup to select the printer, a button to directly invoke the printer properties dialog and a status text showing the selected paper type and size and the print resolution.
When generating thumbnails from a converted RAW file, it will now get generated using the 16bit data (applying the white balance and gamma to the 16bit data and afterwards converting to 8bit instead of applying the corrections to the 8bit data), resulting in better quality.
Automatic Highlight & Shadow Point for Full Screen Previews and a Gamma Curve to lighten up Midtones. Makes VLT Fullscreen Previews look (even) better, increases Saturation, forces Blackpoint and decreases Gamma.

What's New:
General: When changing CMS options (e.g. select a different profile) the user was asked to do a new prescan to reflect the changes - this isn't really necessary, and was removed.
General: The ICC profiles are now listed with their description followed by the filename in brackets. If the description matches the filename, only the description is listed.
General: The automatic alignment in the SilverFast Multisampling feature failed in some cases at very high resolutions. This is fixed by the latest improvement to the automatic alignment.
General: Improved automatic detection of the screen in the USM & Descreening dialogue.
