Conflict with Photoshop CS3 and SilverFast in combination with
NIK Softwares Color Efex Pro.
Dear Customers,
we discovered a conflict with Photoshop CS3 and SilverFast in combination with NIK Softwares Color Efex Pro.
This problem will result in crashing SilverFast and Photoshop after the endscan. We have investigated this behavior and we are working on a solution together with NIK. For the moment we can give you a workaround for this problem.
You would need to remove the NIK Color Efex Pro folder form your Photoshop CS3 Plugin directory. Just copy it somewhere else. Now you need to create an alias of the .plugin file and drag it back to the Photoshop CS3 plugin folder. Now everything should work again, we will keep you updated about the progress of this issue.
Thank You 20. May 2008

Highest Quality of LaserSoft Imaging's IT8-Targets testified
IT8 Targets on the test stand
Image Engineering, the independent German lab for testing of imaging devices (www.image-engineering.de) has taken LaserSoft Imaging's IT8-Targets through their painstaking precision-test procedure.
Several IT8-Targets were taken from various production batches. They were all one by one measured and compared.
The results were quite impressive: Color value deviation was between an average Delta E0.54 and 0.72, which is far below the perception threshold.
"It can be stated that all IT8-Targets from LaserSoft Imaging have excellent quality. They are perfectly suited for scanner calibration and fullfil highest quality requirements".
