Perfectly Remove Dust & Scratches from your valuable Images

SRDx

Dust and Scratch Removal of a new Generation

Photos, slides and negatives are naturally afflicted with image defects. Even if photos and slides are handled very carefully, it’s virtually impossible to avoid contact with dust particles; small scratches are also not uncommon.

Defects on treasured images can be especially annoying, because they often hide important details or even destroy the overall image. These flaws do not often get recognized until scanning, because scanning means also increasing image size in most cases. SRDx is the most efficient solution for the elimination of all these flaws and can also very efficiently eliminate unwanted image disturbances where infrared-based solutions cannot help.

SRDx is ideal for the following image originals

Black-and-white Film
Kodachrome Film
Photo prints
Digital camera images

How is SilverFast SRDx working?

The algorithms used in SRDx for defect detection can recognize dust and scratches because their image information differs greatly from the surrounding area.

Furthermore, the algorithm has been programmed to recognize typical scratch marks (elongate and narrow). Detected flaws can be removed by taking the surrounding image information into account. Other software solutions for removing dust and scratches usually use a focus blur, which deteriorates general image quality.

Using the image processing software SilverFast HDR and HDR Studio and SRDx you can eliminate defects from previously scanned images (also RAW data). You can also load and optimize digital images, for example from a digital camera. Many options to adjust the SRDx tool with simultaneous visual checking offer a reliable technique for removing any defects without destroying image details.

Further features of SRDx are:

Slider control for intensity of detection and correction
The preview window shows identified defects marked in red
1:1 and HQ preview for exact evaluation

Mám ve svém obrazovém archivu víc než milión diapozitivů Kodachrome. Proces digitalizace těchto snímků mi objasnil, že nejnákladnějším faktorem je čas, potřebný k odstraňování prachu a škrábanců. Díky bohu existuje software SilverFast. Funkce na odstraňování prachu a škrábanců v tomto softwaru přináší enormní úsporu času. Jestli doporučuji software SilverFast? Na to si můžete vsadit.

What makes the new SRDx tool so attractive is that it brings a very effective method of cleanup to those who do not have scanners with Digital Ice or its equivalent (many of which require a hardware/software combination) and especially for black-and-whites and Kodachromes, which Digital Ice cannot handle. In using the software, I found the fine tuning impressive. It eliminates the flaws that auto-correct (thus overdone) cleanup protocols often render. Another bonus is that the tool also works with print scans, which I believe will be a boon for retouchers as well as those who want to delve into the family archives.

B/W Film & Kodachrome

Special Case: Black-and-White and Kodachrome film with infrared-based defect removal iSRD

Kodachrome film: With Kodachrome images, an automatic defect detection can be more difficult, since the film emulsion is so dense, particularly in the dark image areas, that infrared light cannot pass through sufficiently. For this reason, for the software dark image area does not differ from dust or other dirt particles. SilverFast’s iSRD Dust and Scratch Removal has been specially adapted for Kodachrome film to take this into account. The Kodachrome optimized iSRD engine is used automatically once the Kodachrome mode is activated. It may be particularly helpful to use a polygon or path mask, as well as the marker and eraser tools included with SilverFast Ai Studio to limit corrections to specific areas of the image.

Black and white film: Black and white film is another special case in terms of dust and scratch removal. Unlike color slides or color negatives, the scanner’s infrared rays can not permeate through the film emulsion, due to the silver halide layer contained in the film. This means that infrared based tools like iSRD, ICE, FARE or MagicTouch can not be used here.

SRDx, our software-based dust and scratch removal, has bee developed especially for black and white film. It ensures effective removal of dust and scratches from black and white film and, in combination with SilverFast iSRD, represents an ideal solution for Kodachromes.

Additional Feature: iSRD

iSRD – our infrared-based Dust and Scratch Removal: Would you like to scan color film or color negatives and your scanner features an infrared channel? In this case we recommend to take advantage of the outstanding capabilities of our infrared-based dust and scratch removal iSRD.
