Technical Features - High Color Separation Function
A unique phenomenon occurs with digital camera images. Color deteriorates near edges at high-saturation borders, and a white, unnatural outline appears. This makes pictures look like "Digital" images.
This is caused when the color resolution is lower than the brightness resolution.
SILKYPIX has good color separation and almost no jagged edges, unnatural outlines, or false coloration at high-saturation borders. Conventional development techniques contain negative characteristics that deteriorated image quality due to poor color separation. For example, borderlines between black and white can be clearly seen, but borderlines between dark colors are blurred so that the image looks out of focus, there are jagged edges, and there are achromatic (back and white) portions.
SILKYPIX Developer Studio 2.1 uses a new de-mosaic logic method that allows for high color separation. |

Usually, color separation between cyan and yellow is difficult, but this shows that separation can be made at high resolution.
|
| Development Software A |
 |
| The outline is not clear and resolution is not sufficient |
| Development Software B |
 |
| The color of the outline is darkened and color separation is not clear. |
Border between Red and Blue |

 |
| Usually, separation between blue and red is also difficult. However separation was made with high resolution. |
| Development Software A |
 |
| The red portion has discoloration and there is poor color separation. |
| Development Software B |
 |
| The red color became vermilion and the blue color close to the border is darker. |
Border between Magenta and Green |
| Original Image |
 |
| SILKYPIX |
 |
| Magenta and green have good separation, and both colors are bright. |
| Development Software A |
 |
| The border is squared and not curved, and a darker color appears. |
| Development Software B |
 |
| The left curve above the C is way out of line. Also, the whole image has low color saturation |
