A:

Yes, you have to 'draw' a box around each image and click the 'All' button. Plus, the images all have to be similar - color or B&W but not a mix to run quickly.

Yes, but it doesn't always separate them for. If that happens just make file copies and the crop each one to produce unique separate files.

Yes. The software you download to do your scanned is designed to cut the images for you in the scanning process. That also includes film that you scan as well.

You can but it will be on the same page. The really cool thing is just how fast it works so you can do separate photo's. The unit scanned and put it in my folder before I could grap another picture ready.

Anything on the scan bed gets scanned as one image, however you can then use editing SW like Photoshop Elements (which I use) to break up each photo into separate files.

A:

see slide results in my review of this product. Go on You Tube first and make sure you understand the front and back side of the slide..Called emulsion side more dull. Learn this and even if you don't you can tell the software to flip the scan and it will still look great.

Does this Perfection V550 scanner by Epson work with Windows 7 - 64bit ?

Q:

I have a Canoscan 3000EX scanner. No driver exists to run this scanner on Windows 7 -64bit. They refuse to provide one. So, I'm dumping Canon immediately. Will this scanner work with Windows 7 - 64 bit ( as opposed to Windows 7 - 32 bit ) ???

A:

when i set up the scan, i name all pictures by the year they were taken. (some guess work here, but i've been able to get close. names in my collection will look like (1970002 or 1970048) the prints often have a date on them, but this date is the printing date. if i didn't get the film to the lab right away, i may get a print that says Mar 1989, when the pic clearly is of Christmas 1988. i'll get the print into the 1988 folder and worry about renaming or regrouping them later.

Best Answer

A:

I assume that you want to record the date a picture was taken on in the file that you get after scanning a printed picture or slide. The answer is that yes, you can add a date taken to your file, but not via the Epson scanner interface. Use the scanner to create a picture jpg file. After scanning, go to the file and right click on it, then choose the 'properties' option. In the Properties box, click on the "Details" tab. You can now fill in the 'date taken' and a bunch of other fields that can be saved in the jpg picture file.

A:

Yes it scans photos into separate numbered files (img001, img002, etc.). This process works most of the time, but sometimes it fails to separate them. Turning pics to a different orientation and re-scanning will usually correct the problem. Seems to work best with a max of 2 photos at once; otherwise it seems to slow down the scanning process. Scans 4 slides at once with no problems.

Is there a tray size to be able to scan really old black & white negatives for 600, 616 and 620 film that are 2" x 2.25" ? And software that makes them a "positive" image?

A:

That is actually the reason I bought it, updating my old V100 which was 35mm only. My wife found some old 120 film negatives of her as a child she had never seen. Initial quote from camera store at $0.25 each to print was reasonable until I brought them in and discovered was not chemical based processing but needed to be digitized at $5 each to inkjet process. Did the math and that paid for a new scanner! It is not really a tray but the V550 comes with two plastic guide holders - one 35mm the other 120mm film/slides - that lays on the glass platten with the side tabs positioning it correctly. 600,616,and 620 are the 2" wide 120 film. Just a matter if 2 or 3 can go on the platic guide.The white pad in the lid pulls out and exposes the lighting unit for negative/slides which the film in the plastic guide will be directly under. Within the software, I use the "Professional Mode". When you select film as the document type, the resulting scan is a positive, so no other software is required...but I do use Photoshop later for cleanup and cropping before printing. I upped the scan to 1200 dpi for both slides and negatives to give large enough file to enlarge from such a small scan area. Also, while suppose to "smartly" identify breaks for one scan, but had problems recognizing the breaks. Loaded 3 negatives, previewed, selected and scanned individually

Yes, for sure. It comes with feeder frames and your negative will fit into it. Only caveat -- you'll have to use manual settings when scanning it, don't use the default thumbnails. The software does convert negatives to "prints."
This scan I'm attaching is from a 2" black and white photo taken in 1962.

A:

I am using the Epson Perfection V800 Pro which comes with several trays for different size negatives as well as slides and positive transparencies. I do have the 550 as well which has similar trays but not as many. Product description indicates that it comes with Slide Holder & 35mm Film Holder Or Film Guide Negative Or Positive. I didn't unpackage them so I don't remember what sizes. You will need software to do the conversion from negative to positive. I have used Photoshop for this but it is pricey. The V800 Pro comes with SilverFast SE. SilverFast will allow you to do the same clean up as Photoshop, possibly more. I am just learning how to use it so I can't do an honest comparison. Both the V550 and V800 Pro come with something called "Digital ICE", technology that helps eliminate scratches, etc. at time of scan, You will still need to use some kind of software to complete processing your scans. If you don't already have it, I recommend "Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives 2nd Edition" by Sascha Steinhoff. This book explains scanning and processing slides and negatives and provides some excellent information on the scanners and software, including Photoshop and SilverFast. The included DVD incudes some software as well as sample scans from various scanners including the Epson Perfection V750. I hope this helps. If all you are doing is scanning film and negatives you may want to consider a film scanner instead of a flatbed scanner.
