Great Picture Scanner

Bought this to scan in a bunch of old photos from my parents. Worked like a champ. I especially liked that you could put multiple smaller pictures on at once and it picked up each one separately. This feature makes the task go a lot faster. The program was easy to use even for someone as unskilled as me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As good as it gets!

I had a older version of this scanner, lasted 10 years before the optics went out!
So we decided we had a good long haul with it we decided to get the V500.

Well this thing is great! Very quite! Much faster then the old one.
Install was a breeze, only because I read the instructions!!!! The only thing you have to remember is to shut down the anti-virus and DON"T plug in the scanner until you get the software installed!! You will run into problems if you don't read the instructions. I re-install Windows about every 12-18 months. SO there was a couple of times I didn't go with the instructions and had to start from scratch with the install!
SO BE ADVISED!

Simple and Effective

While it was not my first scanner, it was my first photo scanner and I have used it to scan photos and 35mm slides. Operation is straightforward and the controls seem adequate for my level of utility. The user can select from slides, negatives, prints, illustrations, artwork, etc. as a medium to be scanned.
The preview function, particularly with slides, allows you to rotate the image or remove/reverse the slide position before scanning which I found to be of use. It scans 4 slides at a time and with the ICE technology active, takes 2-3 minutes for the 4 slides at 300 DPI. Scan resolution is user selectable and scan time is dependent upon selected resolution. My scanner came with a free copy of Photoshop Elements (for both PC and Mac) and this was not an advertised feature and IMHO, should be.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the performance and operation of this scanner and would recommend it to anyone seeking to convert old slides/photos to digital images. Might not be the choice of the pros for whatever reason, but for the "ordinary guy" this scanner does well.

Epson V500 Photo Scanner
on January 22, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
from Lakewood CO
This is a total piece of junk!! The directions are impossible to follow. It does NOT scan in slides. It just takes a picture of the slide et al with the border and everything and does 4 at a time. If you breath even gently, the slides are not aligned and cannot be cropped out and the light is not sufficient to reproduce the slide. They are all dark and lose clarity when I try to use Photoshop to lighten them. The description did NOT say one had to be a Photoshop guru to be able to even do the most minimal processing and it takes hours to do just a couple of slides given that it is necessary to do so much work to get even one slide into an actual picture. I want my full refund back!!

Wonderful

This is a great product for the cost. It not only corrects black and white photos, It also comes with elements to turn slides and negatives into J-pegs. It also corrects these when you scan them in. They also have a better one that is more expensive, but this works great for me. Perfect for getting your older Photos ready to share with family.
