I've tried other slide scanners in the past - several years ago - with disappointing results. When I stumbled across several dozens of 35mm slides from my late stepfather's stuff, I decided to give this one a try.I'm impressed and very satisfied with the results - it's a real good bang for your buck. Installation was painless using the quick start info and CD.
I loaded some slides into the plastic insert and fired it up. First thing I did, was go to 'Professional Mode' which provides a lot of options that will improve the quality of your scans. Primarily, increasing the DPI setting allows for larger images - setting at 2400 DPI produces images of about 3.5-5MB, and resolution of 3000. I also upped color depth to 48-bit color. It also slows down the scan time - I think 3-4 minutes for 4 at a time on my low. A much reviewed product. Also, some very good tech reviews on other web sites.
I thought I might have something to add?I bought this scanner because my new printer/scanner 'all in one' (a canon mx340) does not do a good job scanner photos (prints). I had a Mustek several years ago that stopped working, so without getting technical (yet), it was obvious that 'all in one' was not very good.I borrowed an Epson V600 from a friend, and I could see easily that one can get much better scanner for. My father was a prolific photographer who always shot 35mm slides. I had boxes and boxes of his slides. Many of my relatives were in the collection so a few years ago I started to organize and scan them. I could have sent them off to be scanned or bought a very expensive slide scanner however, I also shoot a lot of 120 format transparency film that I always wanted to scan.

After reading many reviews, blogs and photo web sites I settled on the Epson Perfection 4490 as the best bang for the buck scanner. It will scan 35mm and 120 slides and negatives, and all sizes of prints in between. It's not the fastest scanner in the world but I enjoyed the rythm of the work and it was never tedious. The scanned results are perfectly fine for viewing on a computer and especially on a digital photo. If you want to finally get your old pictures or negatives out of boxes and onto your computer, this is a great scanner to do it with. Use them as wallpaper, send them to old friends to remember how you looked, let your kids see what you looked like in a pre-digital age.This scanner makes it easy to scan your pictures and negatives.
Gta online games. The previous reviewers who rated this product highly are correct, and I will summarize those points in a quick format because it works for me.- Easy to install (Windows 7)- Began scanning old 35mm color negatives immediately- Software automatically identifies the negatives when using the holder and scans them in. You don't have to worry about cropping each negative from a pre-scan. I love that!As other reviewers point out, the disappointments are related to the film, not the scanner:- It's reasonably quick to. I purchased this printer to replace a different small color laser that died (Samsung CLP-300).This one blows my previous one away.
The color accuracy when printing photos full page size on normal paper is amazing. On photo paper even better. Looks like a photo print that you would get from developing film and having prints made. I really was looking to replace the printer that died for normal routine printing and was hoping that it might also do a good job of printing color photos because I was normally using a separate inkjet printer for that to get better quality. Surpassed my expectations and I can do both routine printing and color photo printing with this one printer.Print speed is a slightly slower than my previous printer, but perfectly acceptable for my home use. I do like that start up time from when I.
Recently my wife and I decided that we needed to do something to deal with the thousands of family pictures we took over the last 25 years, before digital cameras became mainstream. We looked at several options including scanning services, individual negative scanners, and flatbed scanners and chose the Epson Perfection V750-M.
After about a month of fiddling around I am now scanning about 50 - 35mm negatives a day and I think the results are outstanding. I am scanning at 4800 dpi with digital ICE on for every scan producing tiff files around 100 meg each. I estimate that if I spend about the next 5 years scanning pictures I might get done, but I know for sure that if I was not using a flatbed scanner that can produce up to 24 scans during each run, I would give up years before I could ever finish this huge.

I recently purchased the 9950F for the specific purpose of scanning 35 mm slides. In the course of three weeks I scanned over 1700 slides with very good results. I found the colors to be excellent and true to the original slide. I scanned at 2400 dpi because I wanted enough resolution to use the pictures for slide shows.
I also scanned several of the slides at 1200 dpi for a comparison and when projected on a 28 inch TV screen could see no difference in the 1200 and 2400 scans.The 1200 dpi scans took about 1 1/2 minutes on my computer and the 2400 dpi scans took slightly under 4 minutes/ slide. A few tips for good results: 1) always calibrate the scanner between each set of slides (the template holds 12 slides).2) For slides with normal lighting I set the backlight correction to.
This is a nice product within the limits of what it is designed for and what I wanted. What I wanted is something that could digitize old negatives that I have had sitting in a box for the last 20 years, so that, afterwards, I could put them in Lightroom and organize them. It is mostly a way to capture old memories - remember people who are no longer with me or family members from a long time ago.The device itself is pretty to use. Just find the appropriate insert for the negative type, open the insert, place the negative, close the insert, slide into the device, and then feed the negative from right to left by hand to position each frame in the viewer.
The viewer is nice for identifying what you have but doesn't provide deep detail.The files save to the SD card I. When I first opened the box, plugged the scanner in and looked at the manual, I just about threw up! After 15 minutes with the manual, I was an inch away from packing it all back in the box and returning it to Amazon. I re-read the reviews and they were mostly positive, so I soldiered on.I'm very pleased that I did. Once you figure it out (not exactly rocket science!) it works great! However, whoever wrote the manual should be taken out back and shot! It is without doubt, the worst manual I have ever read!
It references buttons that don't exist, and really offers no explanation of how to use. You have to figure it out.
As I said, it's not that hard to do so, but a few clear instructions would help a lot. I'd scanned about 20 35mm color slides before I figured out you could.
Yes it was slow and tedious but only took me a week total to scan in all my negative and did so while watching netflix. Was easy to connect, operate, and navigate between the various negatives. My only suggestion is to make sure you dust off negative prior to scanning them really well or you will not only end up with them on you scanned images but you will also end up cleaning out the machine more than you want.
This is just one of the examples of the scan it did on a 110 neg from almost 20 yrs old no that great of a shot and negs were not in the best of condition but scanned on the 22 mp and it turned out better than I could have ever hoped for.

It also slows down the scan time - I think 3-4 minutes for 4 at a time on my low. I've used several film to digital film converters and the Wolverine is the easiest brand to work with. I've used them in several different ways from uploading my digital information into my computer to the easiest (and most preferable) SD card. These digital converters aren't intuitive to operate, but once you get the hang of it they are easy to work with. I've actually had a great deal of fun enjoying looking at old slides. I've then taken my SD card to Costco to get prints.
One other option is to upload them to the Costco site and pick them up next time you go.We have piles of slides, but also have some film. One of the most interesting project I've done is to take old discarded film, the stuff relegated to a box in our barn, and scan it. This is an absolutely wonderful little machine. It is obviously not intended to be a machine for a professional photographer but it is more than adequate for the hobbyist! I can do a slide every 8 to 10 seconds and the results are very good. One responder commented that this was made like a child's toy.
It is plastic but comer on sir, its a $99.00 piece of equipment. Another noted that it scratched his slides, unless he has some foreign material in the machine, I see no way this can happen. I have not transferred several thousand slides with this machine with out one single scratch. Thank you Clear Click, I am now able to convert slides of locked up memories that are now free for all to view and much, much cheaper than any service will do it for.
