Most helpful customer reviews 603 of 607 people found the following review helpful. It is working, but ... By J. Peterson I bought this scanner a month ago, thousands of pictures I've made in recent years to scan. I am not a professional photographer - my expectations were just to digitize my photos of the same quality as the photos I took with my 7MP digital camera. After getting the scanner (which was formed easily) I have an extensive set of tests to determine the correct settings (resolution, compression, etc.) and then decide on scanning my photos. Now I'm two thirds done with the job, I can say that it works well, but there are goods and evils. I have no experience with other film scanners so I can not tell you how this machine compared to others, but here's what I learned: * Many have complained about the lightness of the plastic slide holder. Mine has held up well so far, but I can not find any information anywhere about how I would get a replacement if he broke the one that comes with the scanner, which worries me a little * Epson website is very useful. They have a simple FAQ with some basic elements, but nothing really useful, and discussion groups. You are on your own. * As others have mentioned, the included software pretty basic, but I think it does the job. Have at least two annoying errors, however. One of them is that every time I scan preview a series of 12 slides, turns off the dust removal and / or Digital ICE selected. This means that you need to remember to back with each cycle, that I forget to do sometimes. There seems to be a way to save the settings, but even that is reset every cycle, so it is useless. Perhaps there is a way to do this right to work, but the lack of documentation gives no clues. * Another problem with software is the ability to recognize vertical or horizontal orientation of slides for the most part it does an excellent job with this, but sometimes you guess wrong, for example, do you think the slide is vertical when it actually is horizontal. This usually happens if the slide has a dark background. Unfortunately, when you guess wrong, gathered sides or top / bottom of the picture so you can not just turn 90 degrees. Most of the time when I noticed a wrong guess I was able to correct the slide by rotating 90 degrees and re-preview, but I have several pages where you are wrong and insist only on the software provides no way to override this behavior. Associated with bad behavior occurs if you have a slide that has a rectangle of light on a dark background, such as a stroke of the TV screen - in this case, try to enlarge a portion of the image, cropping off most of it including even some of the area of ​​light. I can not in any way to defeat this behavior, it seems the only way is to tailor this type of image manually, which is very labor intensive * Another problem is a hardware design flaw that I am very surprised that no one mentioned. After carefully scanning my first several batches of slides and test results, I went into a mode to scan without taking the time to investigate each resulting image. After scanning with numerous film, I began to review the results and was horrified to find that some parties, there were two faint vertical lines (one green, one blue) some scans. I finally noticed that the lines on four consecutive slides from all 12 (slide holder contains 12 movies), so it was an indication seemed to be. Note that the top of the scanner has a transparent slit in the middle - it's definitely a sexy feature, so you can see where the scanner light and watch its movement. Well, he admits that other light in the scanner, at least under certain conditions of ambient light, ruining the exams of four slides in the middle column I found by taping a piece of cardboard on top of the scanner. And now I again scan images very confusing. * I really do.
