This makes it most appropriate for anyone (short of a professional photographer) who needs to scan a backlog of prints and film (including slides) to digital format.

Like almost any flatbed scanner, the V500 can handle all-purpose scanning, but it's focused on photos. It offers high-quality scans for both prints and film and features an LED light source that eliminates warm-up time. Epson has knocked one out of the park with this scanner. A case in point is the Epson Perfection V500 Photo ($249.99 direct). I don't generally use sports metaphors in reviews, but sometimes there's no better way to put it.

Overall, this scanner has exceeded my expectations. br>br>I've also used it to scan a variety of paper documents, both color and black and white, and it performs admirably. There's also the option of scanning negatives, but I've never tried it so I can't comment. It's a good activity to do while you're already working on something else at the computer. The scanning of each set of slides takes several minutes, so this is not a quick process. Despite the fact that these are old slides, the scanned images have excellent quality. I've been going through a lot of Kodak carousels of slides my father took from the 1950s to the 1970s (slowly). It then scans all four slides and saves each one as a separate JPEG image file.

You choose the format and scan quality (resolution) using the software that comes with the scanner. The padded surface on the scanner's lid must also be removed so that light can pass through the slide while it is being scanned. It accurately positions them so that the scanner can find them and scan only the photographic content correctly. When scanning slides, you'll need to install a special tray insert in the scanner that holds four slides. When scanning, the scanner is very quiet you can hear it, but it isn't excessively loud. It's simple to scan a specific area of an image. The software is user-friendly and intuitive, and it runs smoothly on Macs.

br>br>I've used it to scan a wide range of photographic prints, including some very old black-and-white prints for genealogy purposes.

I've used it to scan both photo prints and 35mm slides. This scanner produces excellent scans, and I'm very happy with them. I believe this scanner was a wise investment, and it is still going strong after scanning over 10,000 images. Some 1950s photos appear to have been taken with a digital camera just yesterday. br>br>I also liked that this model came with Adobe editing software, which I could use to improve some of the images that had faded or been damaged over time. It, on the other hand, performs admirably on a variety of print sizes. This unit can handle 35mm color print or slide film, as well as some medium format formats such as 680 film. Epson's image resolution is far superior to that of its competitors' products. br>br>I did a lot of research into image scanners and chose this Epson model over several others. The only film that has remained 100% stable over the years is Kodachrome slides, which I wish I had chosen more often as the film of choice over the years, but I tended to choose print film so I could share these treasured images with my friends at the time. While I kept them in a climate-controlled environment and used proper image preservation techniques, many of the color negatives have begun to fade or undergo color shift.
