The Virtual Light Table \"VLT\" provides the photographer with the essential working space to organize, manage, and process digital images. In one place, the photographer can view all images as thumbnail, search for images, create image archives, attach comments to images, generate a contact sheet of the complete work space, and print single images at high resolution. For each image, the photographer can also retrieve critical EXIF information from his digital image files. A special feature of the Virtual Light Table is its unique \"Zoom\" function. To get a complete impression of a given image, the user can monitor the image at larger size in the overview or the album window. In this mode, the mouse pointer acts as a virtual zoom and shows the desired image area at full resolution in the \"Zoom Area\" window. The user can utilize this control to evaluate the 1:1 sharpness and details within the image.

In order to save RAW data with extended dynamic range (HDR - High Dynamic Range), the 48bit TIFF format and the CAMERA RAW format was developed. Even scanners or cameras with only 30 or 36 bit capability generate their maximum output range in this format. Regardless of the effective dynamic range supplied, the file will always become a 48 bit file. Normal scanning software saves images into a 24 bit file, discarding the extra information created by the scanner. 48 bit files retain all of the information supplied.

SilverFast HDR Software enables the user to read and process 48 bit RAW files without being connected to a scanner. In HDR, all SilverFast tools are available: Defining Output Size
