Dan,
For what it is worth, my understanding is that HDR is a stand alone (not a
twain or a plug-in) version of Silverfast; it also is a completely manual
appl;ication in that the user controls all the choices and settings while
the AI version is an automated twain plug in version which, unless
overridden, furnishes an automated program of settings for the scan.
Speculating, I would assume that the AI stands for "artifical intellegence"
or "automated imaging." I do not have the foggyest idea what HDR might
stand for. However, I do know that the HDR version is device independent in
terms of the scanner used to so the scan while the various AI versions are
dedicated to different scanners.

Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Silverfast HDR
I sort of already asked this in a previous post, but wanted to acknowledge
david's response here. the quesiton is, what is HDR? (For that matter, what
does the acronym refer to, what is it supposed to do, and why doesn't it
work on my system?)

this sounds like it could be a good workflow for me. I have an employee
who just scans and does dust removal in PS. It'd be great if this person
could use the HDR mode as you described it here, since it would allow her
to use PS while the scanner is scanning.
the silverfast manual doesn't describe what HDR is, as far as I've been
able to find.
