Adobe Photoshop Elements is included in the price - free, which I have used and it is a great imaging program.

so you get a reasonable image out of the scanner.

Resolution is more than how many dpi - you need to take into consideration how small the source image is to begin with, so a scan of a print could work very well at 300 to 600 dpi, but a scan of a 110 negative is going to need anywhere from 1400 to 3000 or higher dpi to get a large enough image that will produce an 8x10 print.

PERFECT IMAGE

(It still produces better images overall than other scanners I've tried, for whatever that is worth, and it can be digitally removed if it bothers me

I use Photoshop regularly, I prefer to color correct the image there (it didn't need too much), so I cannot tell you whether Epson's scanner software color correction is good or not.

I sharpen the image in post processing but there's only so much you can sharpen a soft image

For some people (and some images), the scanned images will be good enough with no additional work.

Vuescan's cleaned images were a bit soft even when I invoked their Unsharp mask setting which does a bit of sharpening

I feel this unit does better at giving me a sharper image.

I do a lot of Photoshop work anyway, so I usually try to improve the digital image with that software

It’s nice to be able to afford to preserve our local old architectural, sports, scenic, floral, etc images, but especially wonderful to be able to preserve and share our family history in photographs.

My work is pretty highly detailed with much of the initial drawing being visible and the first images are impressive to say the least

The idea of the default auto mode settings producing a spectacular image while the default professional mode settings produce a poor one is inane.

The problem I'm having is the images are soft regardless of resolution setting

Scan your B&W images in RGB as well

Most of the time my negatives were awkwardly cropped in thumbnail selection (and yes, this was true for both 35 and medium format selection with the correct 120 format cropping selected), and the so-called 'powerful image correcting algorithms' (Digital Ice) left a lot to be desired

She just drops the slides in the tray and uses the software to rotate or flip the images as needed if she missed the positioning.

This scanner makes great images and has been pretty easy to learn

Hard to use, and images not good quality.

Wonderful scanner, easy to use and very good image copies.

The scanned image and subsequent print look like a photo that had just been shot

By the end I can hardly produce a nice enough image to ascend from the "it's film and its really

Overall the Epson works very well, the supplied software works OK but does not allow you to manipulate the image as well as say, Photoshop or other higher end software.

This scanner produces blurry images from negatives.

Pros -- Fairly fast, even when scanning at a high DPI- Great image quality- LED light source won't fade old photos/slides- Nice 35mm slide holderCons -- Scanning 110 slides (not film strips, but in those 1in x 1in plastic holders, just like a small 35mm) is a pain, as it scanning Kodachrome Transparencies

Again, the scanned images were better than the original

Crystal clear imaging, fast, and simple to use: I may wind up having to change my review after I try 120mm and get more into the machine but after a short day of operation this is a fantastic machine for scanning film negatives

After scanning, OK results, but produces color cast and then images need color correcting

(On using 120 film, you must select the correct image format before scanning for the images to be automatically selected

This scanner produces blurry images

10% of the time it introduces artifacts that destroy the image

Would like to be able to get a quick look at positive image of negs to decide whether or not to scan, but haven't figured out yet how to do that.

I love the function that multiply photo can be scanned once, and images in separated files

The digital images look great.

They seem to be the result of a bright main image being combined with a shifted fainter secondary image

Color Correction isn't magic but definitely improves faded images, slightly less improvement with color shifting.

It scans up to 12 negatives or positive film images in strips at a time in the film holder

Good image quality for scanning photos

I have limited experience, but so far the hardware is very good, the images are crisp and colors are reasonably accurate

The Epson provides a solid image that you can start working with in a photo editing program (I use Adobe Photoshop).

The images are exceptionally clear, but be warned.

For touching up the scanned slides, the scanner comes with Photo Studio 6, but it seems kind of klunky, I use Microsoft digital image editor, whish works well and fast, and is relatively inexpensive

It produces the absolute best images from printed photos and does excellent color correction and fuzz/lint removal.

Expect to do a lot of clone-stamping in Photoshop to clean up important images.

But when you move the slider to adjust the input to cover the histogram the entire image becomes incredibly dark.

I work for a dental office and our x-rays are still film, I needed a scanner that would scan a good image of our film into the computer with out it being to

Instead I got kicked into a function to email the images and could not get out of it without cancelling, loosing the images, which resulted in my having to re-scan them

and I have hundreds of transparency and negative film images, we needed to bump up to a scanner that could reproduce at least 35mm and 120mm images

Great image quality and easy to use!

The sensors produce crisp well contrasted images from prints, negatives or slides

Works great, easy t use, makes wonderful images--perfect for all of his old family photos and because it is flatbed there is no worry about automatic feeders or rollers messing up or getting jammed--would buy this all over again and recommend to everyone!

Chances are it will still be slightly flat, but if you can get a file that isn't clipped on either end of the histogram, and that hasn't completely lost all shadow contrast and detail, you can clean the images up nicely in post processing

Scanning was quick and the negatives were converted to positive images during the scan which made for easier viewing

It's horribly slow, something like 6-8 minutes for a 4x6 photo, but does a great job when I need it for my best images

but, if you want cleaner images, you sacrifice sharpness

purchased in January and tried to scan, but images were fuzzy so purchased software to correct the problem but that didn't help

It has allowed me to recover old images that I never knew existed until I was able to scan them with this machine.

Excellent images with my Mac Pro (2009) and OS 10.12.6.

Even then, it is usually necessary to clean up the images.

It produced beautiful digital images from negatives from the 1940's.

Great scanner, using for old pictures, lots of software to improve image

The machine has never failed and has produced solid usable images every time.

It does an excellent job of converting negatives to positive images.

So far I'm not blown away; the images from 35mm slides seem to be a bit "soft"

We have been able to salvage film and photos that were color-cast altered severely, very dusty images, etc., resulting in GREAT final images

I love b&w and figured to develope at home like good old days, then scan to positive images

Epson's dirty images were very sharp

Basically, my strategy is to use this scanner to create digital proofs that can be used to determine which images are worth sending out to be professionally scanned

Epson's dirty images were very sharp

The images are clear and am able to zoom in on the smallest component

We have been able to salvage film and photos that were color-cast altered severely, very dusty images, etc., resulting in GREAT final images

I am enjoying images I haven't seen literally in decades

That worked modestly though it was limited in the ability to produce good quality images from scans

There are lots of good scanners for opaque images, but I needed something to scan positive film images, 35mm slides and 120 film slides

Sharp images and great versatility.

purchased in January and tried to scan, but images were fuzzy so purchased software to correct the problem but that didn't help

Good quality image. not very flexible when working with transparencies

The first scanned everything with a single red streak across one area of anything that was scanned, a bad imaging sensor

But, since the images are great, I feel like it's a good deal.

I can spend 5-15 minutes trying to color correct an RGB color image, and even longer for a CMYK image for print (textbook, magazine, book cover, etc.)

The images from prints are good but the ones from slides are even better

I think it a nice compromise, in that, to achieve a slightly superior image, one would have to pay considerably more.

It is a no brainer in terms of how to use it and allows you to improve the image before saving it

The V600 produced a blurry image using both the film holder and another scan placing the negative directly on the scanner glass.

Not as sharp as I'd like

The CSR was just as sweet as she could be, but she was as clueless as we were

We received it Saturday and I began to scan some photo prints as well as to rescan some I had scanned on the multifunction unit scanner.

Replaced my expensive HP Scanjet G4050 to use with my MAC because the HP was cantankerous & never worked as it was supposed to

therefore I'm disappointed because I feel I was mislead as to it's capabilities.

I scanned some negatives of a trip to Yellowstone Nat'l Park that were taken in 1964 and the results were as good as if I had taken them yesterday.

When I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 a few years ago, the scanner would no longer work as it was not compatible with the later operating systems and it was time to retire it anyhow.

The more you use this the more you'll wonder if the process can be improved as it's quite time consuming

The holders come for 35mm slides and negatives as well as for other sizes, 127 and the larger b&w and color negatives from the 1950's
