If this unit hadn't broken, it would have been given a much better review. Pros: This is the 4th flatbed scanner I have owned. I purchased it after my 2 previous Canon Canoscan 8400f scanners "died" (sensor failed to calibrate after about 9 months of use). My old old old Epson 1200 scanner is still working fine, but can't scan slides. So I decided to return to Epson after my bad experience with Canon.

The Epson software is absolutely fantastic - it allows you to scan multiple images (both slides AND prints) in one "session". The quality is just as good as my previous Canon scanner which I thought was fantastic (while it worked), and the resolution is better (of course technology has improved). Scan times are great also - 12 minutes to scan 4 slides at 2400 DPI compared to my Canoscan 8400f which took just under 1 hour to scan 4 slides at 1600 DPI. I am running a 1.8 MHz single-core CPU running XP and with "Digital ICE" turned on which adds a bit of time.

I believe a faster PC may improve those scan times.Ĭons: I miss the "play sound when done scanning" option that I had with the Canon scanner, but that isn't a big deal. #Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film Pc It was handy to alert me to put in another batch of slides when I was off doing something else. The slide holder slips out of place easily when trying to get the slides out of the holders. When scanning old slides in plastic carriers, it is very difficult to get them out without dislodging everything. I found that a plastic toothpick is handy for getting under an edge to lift them out.

Overall Review: The automatic settings work very well and I haven't had to delve into any manual controls. #Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film manual This is unlike the Canon auto settings that tended to wash out light colored portions of photos. The Epson software is totally stable and I have not found any scanner settings that cause the scanner software to crash. This is a welcome change from the Canon scanner software as some settings ALWAYS caused a crash and could not be used.
Pros: I had a Nikon Coolscan V (LS50) before buying this scanner. The Nikon was wonderful but I couldn't justify the $500+ I had tied up in it since I only shoot limited amounts of film. I took a chance on this Epson scanner because of the digital ICE feature and the price after rebate. The digital ICE feature (which is hardware based like the Nikon) is only used when scanning negatives on this scanner, and it works great to remove dust and scratch marks. Having used digital ICE I would not buy a scanner to scan negatives that did not have this feature.
However, to my surprise, scanning prints on the Epson, using only 300 dpi and Epson's software based dust and scratch removal tool, I got excellent results.
#Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film software The advantage to scanning prints versus negatives is print scans take less than 10 seconds. #Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film Pc.#Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film software.#Epson perfection v500 photo scanner for paper and film manual.
