Microtek ArtixScan M1 / F1: Further measures taken to avoid even very thin lines based image problem. These may occur if the scanners comes into start-stop mode when scanning very large images.

Microtek ArtixScan M1 / F1: In transparency mode horizontal lines could occur when scanning larger originals.

Heidelberg PrimeScan (Mac): Negafix profiles improved
Reflecta DigitDia: corrected behaviour of automatic frame finding with respect to the frame inset defined in the SilverFast Options > Auto panel
Heidelberg Chromagraph 3300/3400 (Mac): improved focussing routines
Topaz, Nexscan, Chromagraph, Primescan, Tango: improved responsiveness of "Cancel" button

Multi-Exposure: progress bar wasn't shown during Multi-Exposure action - fixed
Nikon LS-40, LS-50, LS-4000, LS-5000, LS-8000, LS-9000, Multi-Exposure: fixed Multi-Exposure for grey-scale scanning
Microtek ArtixScan M1/F1: ordinary scan performed after a Multi-Exposure scan resulted in overexposed image - fixed
General: free rotation could lead to black pixels in the corners of the final image if angle was very acute - fixed
Praktica & Kaiser: JobManager now shows dimensions correctly, even when measurement unit varies for each JobManager entry
PFU PS4800 pro: automatic IT8 calibration could fail because of misinterpreted reset command to the scanner - fixed
Reflecta DigitDia 5000: work-around for firmware 1.09 Digitdia scanners that sometimes mistakenly report that a slide is in landscape instead of portrait orientation

Multi-Exposure: Improve horizontal alignment for Multi-Exposure scans.
Epson: Added Negafix profiles of Fuji NPS 160 (35mm and 6x6) for Epson scanners.

Microtek ScanMaker 6100: SilverFast now works with Scanwizard 6.5 installed.
Basic mode: SilverFast Basic mode now Leopard (OSX 10.5) compatible.
XRay: Starting up in XRay mode with flatbeds scanners that had no transparency unit, error occured - fixed.
Epson Perfection V500 / GT-X770: Didn't scan transparencies correctly when set to 3200 DPI or more - fixed.
Microtek Scanmaker i700, i800, i900: Line-Art scans corrected.

Importing rotated images to Photoshop: Due to an error, scanning images with rotation (90/270 degree or fine rotation) directly to Photoshop via PS's import interface), scanning would take much longer (10x) than necessary - fixed.

VLT: corrected thumbnail images on VLT for images that have been scanned with arbitrary rotation.
VLT: corrected the thumbnail generation in VLT of HDR images with known gamma included.
iSRD: Fixed bug that lead to wrong preview proportions when entering & leaving iSRD preview from zoomed view of preview window.
HiRePP: Corrected HiRePP for images that have been created using both, 90 or 270 degrees and fine rotation.
Multi-Exposure under Photoshop CS3: Under certain circumstances, multi-exposure scanning into Photoshop CS3 led to crashes - fixed.
Batch scanning save options: In the "Save" dialogue "PDF" could not be chosen, and the options for EPS/DCS/JPG2000 were mixed up - fixed.
Leopard: Corrected dialogue for saving batch scans.
General: Using any post-processing filter (e.g. i/SRD, AACO) in combination with a 90 or 270 degrees rotations or arbitrary rotation (n.b. thus also with the automatic frame finding tool) led to corrected final images - fixed.
SilverFast AFL (Reflecta, PIE, Kodak): Multi-Exposure took much too long and resulting scans were overexposed - corrected.
iSRD: corrected not enough, if enlargement of image was not equal to 100% - internal workflow enhanced.

IT8 calibration option: improved reliability of Auto IT8 feature for finding the lower edge of the IT8 chart
Leopard: SilverFast works fine now with Leopard (under certain system setups crashes could occur when starting SilverFast through Universal Launcher)
SilverFast Universal Launcher: Corrected a problem in the SilverFast Universal Launcher when quitting it under Mac OSX 10.3 / Panther
Photoshop CS3: Data transfer for rotated scans sped up under Photoshop CS3

Auto Frame Finding: Improved Auto Frame Finding feature for rotated previews and clamping of a possibly chosen inset.
HP Scanjet 8300: works now the latest drivers from Hewlett-Packard
Canon CanoScan 8800F: scanning transparency now possible with latest Canon low-level driver (LLD v1.0.6)
VLT: Corrected the thumbnail generation in VLT of HDR images with known gamma included

SF Launcher Vers. 3: new design, universal binary, finds all SilverFast versions on the system now

PhotoProof: improved PhotoProof real-time update
Descreening: Descreening scans in SilverFast TWAIN variant do no longer switch off descreening filter after scan.
Negafix: Fixed problem with suddenly missing Negafix profiles.
PrinTao: Sorting issue with images dragged to PrinTao templates resolved.
