Kiel, Germany 19th November 2004: LaserSoft Imaging AG, the developer of SilverFast Professional Scanner and Digital Camera Software solutions, today announced the immediate availability of SilverFast DC VLT for RAW data conversion for less than EUR 100.

SilverFast DC VLT is predestined to ambitious hobby photographers and allows them to directly modify the original data captured - among standards such as JPEG and TIFF - producing images with superior high quality, white balance and the maximum amount of details. Raw images are often called a "Digital Negative" by photographers due to the maximum dynamic range they contain. Accessing the raw image before conversion into formats like JPEG and TIFF allows users to adjust the color balance, saturation, smoothness and sharpness instead of using the camera's automatic settings.

The Virtual Light Table VLT is an essential work base for photographers who like to organize, manage and resume images in an easy way. Like in a real darkroom, you can archive your photos, provide the images with comments, lay out albums and contact sheets of the complete view port and produce or print single pictures in a high resolution in variable size.

The user also profits from the Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is adjustable either individually or via presets as well as from the color temperature regulation, the exposure adjustment and the Red-Eye-Correction. Numerous online QuickTime Movies can be started as a guide tutorial about SilverFast DC VLT.
