SilverFast 8
SilverFast 8 is professional scanning software developed by LaserSoft Imaging, primarily used for controlling film and flatbed scanners to digitize photographs and documents. It's popular among photographers, archivists, and imaging professionals who need high-quality scans with advanced color correction and dust removal features. The software includes sophisticated tools for multi-sampling, color management, and automatic defect correction. SilverFast often comes bundled with scanners from manufacturers like Epson, Canon, and Nikon, and is considered one of the leading alternatives to VueScan for professional scanning workflows.

1 suggestionBased on available information, LaserSoft Imaging appears to have continued developing SilverFast, but it's unclear whether version 8 specifically has been updated with Apple Silicon support. Since this is professional scanning software that's actively maintained by its developer, you should check LaserSoft Imaging's official website or contact their support directly to confirm whether a Universal Binary or Apple Silicon-native version is available. If no native version exists yet, VueScan is a well-regarded alternative that offers similar professional scanning capabilities and has been actively maintained with modern macOS support.
