SilverFast is now available for more than 240 scanners and digital cameras running under Mac (also OS-X) and Windows.

SilverFast Ai enables any level of user to achieve brilliant results quickly !

SilverFast comes in three different flavors: as Stand-Alone Software with the SilverFast Launcher; as native Adobe Photoshop Plug-in or as universal TWAIN Module.
