gerald_wallace Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Gerald Wallace Lasersoft Imaging has provided their Silverfast customers the opportunity to purchase ("sales@picture - plug-ins.com") an Adobe Photoshop plug-in for dust and scratch removal - $29 (Euro/$). Has any one tried this software? I currently use adobe photoshop cs6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I know that it works well within Silverfast scan software. I'm about to download the 30-day free trial and find out how well it works in PS CS6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogears Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 How is it supposed to work without an IR channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Good question. I know there are two Silverfast versions, iSRD and SRDx. The iSRD version requires the IR channel, maybe the SRDx version, the one being offered, does not require an IR channel. I guess I'll know soon enough...

gerald_wallace Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thanks William K. I think I will wait for your report since we both use cs6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western_isles Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 A word of warning to anyone contemplating purchase of the Lasersoft Photoshop plugin in SRDi. It does not work and I have been trying to get help from Lasersoft to get it working. Moreover, they have refused to refund the fee I paid and am legally entitled to. Court action to recover my costs are imminent. I will update as required to keep you informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I was sidetracked by other issues and never got back into trying this beyond the first couple of attempts, which did not work. Apologies to Gerald for leaving you hanging. I'm surprised that no one else has reported trying this SDRi plug-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any one tried this software? I currently use adobe photoshop cs6. See my post re this. It simply does not work so I cannot in all conscience recommend it as a purchase. Later today I will be in touch with Lasersoft for one last try (attempt 4 or 5) to get the issue resolved. I will update this thread once I have done that.

john_wheeler6 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I purchased the plugin and it has worked fine for me so far. I am using Phototshop CC 2015.5.1 If someone wants to post an example image to try out, I could run it though and past the result. I do believe the settings that are needed for a good result are highly dependent on the scan resolution. I would not be surprised at extremely high scan resolution (were the defects were a very large number of pixels in size) that getting a good correction may be difficult. Seemed to work pretty well for me after trying different settings and getting used to the controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It takes some pretty smart AI to distinguish, say, a small bird in flight from a speck of dust, or any small line from a scratch. This sort of automatic blemish removal is doomed to failure IMO. Like automatic "click and pop" removal on audio files, which almost invariably mistakes finger clicks or drumstick ticks for a vinyl scratch - even though they have quite obviously visibly different waveforms. If there's no IR channel on your scanner, then you might as well forget automatic blemish removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
