SilverFast HDR is a professional image scanning and processing software from LaserSoft Imaging, designed primarily for high-quality film and slide scanning. It works as a plugin or standalone application with dedicated flatbed and film scanners from manufacturers like Plustek and Pacific Image, enabling users to capture negatives, slides, and reflective originals with advanced colour correction, restoration, and tone mapping tools. The software is particularly valued by photographers and archivists for its HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing capabilities, which help recover detail in both shadow and highlight areas of scanned images. Power users rely on its batch scanning features, extensive colour management, and detailed histogram and curve controls to produce publication-quality scans from legacy film.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of SilverFast HDR has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to benefit from noticeably better performance and lower CPU/battery consumption on M-series Macs. Visit the official LaserSoft Imaging website or check for updates within the application itself to download the current Universal Binary build. Your scanner integration, colour profiles, and saved settings will carry over without any issues.
