SilverFast HDR is a specialized scanner driver and image acquisition software from LaserSoft Imaging, designed to work with flatbed and film scanners from various manufacturers. HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode captures multiple exposures to extend the tonal range and detail in scanned images, particularly useful for film and reflective originals. The software provides advanced color correction, dust and scratch removal, batch scanning capabilities, and direct integration with image editing applications. It is used by photographers, archivists, and professionals who need precise scanning control and high-quality digital image capture from physical media. The bundle ID indicates this is the installer package for version 9 of SilverFast HDR.

1 suggestionThe bundle ID com.lasersoft-imaging.SilverFast-HDR-9-Installer indicates this is an installer component for SilverFast HDR version 9, not the application itself. We could not find clear evidence in recent search results that LaserSoft Imaging has shipped a native Apple Silicon build of SilverFast HDR 9. Given that this is a specialized scanner driver last updated over a decade ago, it is unlikely to receive a native Apple Silicon build. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), an Intel-only scanner driver will stop functioning on that release. Contact LaserSoft Imaging directly to ask whether a native build or an updated version of SilverFast with Apple Silicon support is available or planned. If the vendor has discontinued support for HDR 9, you may need to upgrade to a current scanner model or software suite that includes native macOS support, or investigate whether your scanner is compatible with more modern driver alternatives from other vendors or system-native scanning frameworks.
