Uninstall
SilverFast is a professional scanner driver and image acquisition software from Lasersoft Imaging. It provides enhanced scanning controls, color management, and batch-scanning capabilities for Canon, Epson, Nikon, and other scanner brands. The software is used by photographers, archivists, and document-scanning professionals who need finer control over scan quality, ICC profile management, and automated workflows than the bundled scanner drivers typically offer. SilverFast 9 is an older major version of this software.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe bundle ID indicates this is an installer component for SilverFast 9, not the application itself. Lasersoft Imaging released SilverFast 10 in 2022 with native Apple Silicon support, making version 9 outdated. Since you have an Intel-only SilverFast 9 installer, you should upgrade to SilverFast 10 or later, which ships as a native Universal Binary. Visit the Lasersoft Imaging website or contact their support to determine whether you qualify for a free or paid upgrade from version 9. SilverFast 9 will not launch on macOS 28 (September 2028) when Apple removes Rosetta 2, so planning the upgrade well in advance is advisable. Once you upgrade, uninstall the old version using the SilverFast 9 uninstaller and then proceed with the SilverFast 10 installation.
