For image optimization, SilverFast HDR (Studio) is the software. Therefore, the VLT tool is perfect for sorting and selecting images, just like a real light table for mounted slides or film strips. Disk directories are easily imported using a navigation tool. An overview area shows small thumbnails of the images contained in the selected directory. There also is a zoom functionality to quickly view an image in detail. For categorization, color marks and ratings can be added to each image.
From version 9.1.2, the VLT allows to select and combine various filters in order to search an image archive recursively. The list or gallery view will only show those files that meet the selected criteria. In this way, these files can be quickly marked, imported into the JobManager and created as a job. This makes it very easy to process selected images from several folders in a single job without having to copy these images into one folder.
Files that do not meet the filter criteria are hidden as long as the filter is activated. Filters can be managed and configured in detail by clicking on the filter icon.
