When digitizing images, dust and scratches from the analog original also appear in the digitized image. Removing these defects with the Photoshop correction functionalities is difficult and time consuming. The innovative SRDx Plug-in is exactly what you need to efficiently remove lots of small defects from your precious images.
SRDx is the new Photoshop plug-in for effectively removing image defects. Defects, such as dust and scratches, are almost unavoidable on your analog image. With the scanning process they also end up on the digital image.
And even if you have the possibility to use an infrared-based dust and scratch removal when scanning, there are several types of images for which this technique is not applicable, such as black-and-white or Kodachrome images.
The solution for this problem is the new SRDx, which thanks to innovative technology and a new handling concept considerably simplifies and speeds up the formerly tedious correction of image defects in Photoshop. A combination of intelligent automation, ingenious defect marker and content protection tool for fine tuning saves you a lot of time and labor.
The good news is: SRDx does the job it is supposed to do very well and very efficiently. More importantly it does an excellent job of not destroying real detail even in the areas it fixes. Image repair is a mind numbingly boring repetitive task, and SRDx saves me great chunks of time and sanity.
My motto: The reality is beautiful, using Photoshop I make it fantastic for me. Being a digital artist, a good retouch is part of my daily work. The SRDx plug-in allows me to work quickly and cleanly. The simple and intuitive handling makes it a valuable tool for Photoshop beginners as well as for professionals.
The high-quality Hasselblad (Imacon) scanners do not feature any infrared channel. This means a removal of dust and scratches with hardware support similar to iSRD is technically not possible.
A good way to remove defects in a scanning workflow using a Flextight scanner such as the X1, the X5 or even the older Precision models offers SRDx as a plug-in for Photoshop. Negatives, slides and photos can be easily freed from dust, scratches and similar defects.
