This product was recommended to me by a fellow photographer. I mainly bought this to scan old family slides that date back to the 50s and 60s. It was easy to set up and install the software. So far, I’ve scanned about 100 slides. It has a plastic form that sits on the glass that holds four slides. The software allows you to pick the size, add light, color and contrast for each one. It’s a very basic program compared to Photoshop, but make sure you play around with it in the beginning because there’s different views of the slides that will help you see what’s happening. If you understand the basics of post-processing photos, it will be easy. If you don’t, you might find it a challenge. Be sure to use the help functions if you have questions. If you scan in high res, it takes time - about 10 minutes for all four to be completed. I post-processed my photos while it was scanning. Overall I’m pleased with the product and for the general public I think it’s fine. I will be bringing the photos into Photoshop to clean things up a little more but that’s just the photographer in me. I’ll be moving on to old black and white photos next.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will it scan 120mm black and white negatives? from an old Brownie camera

My slides dated back to the 1950s to 1964. I am not sure what camera was used to take the photos. They had mold damage from sitting in my parents’ basement. So they had to be cleaned before I could scan them. I’m pleased with the results. The slides were standard size. I hope this helps.

1-Do pictures go into my computer? 2Can I write blurbs under pictures?

It automatically numbers the photos when scanning and it allows you to create and pick the folder where you want it saved. You can right click on the photo to replace the number with a name or whatever you’d like.
