Epson Perfection V600 Scanner Photos, Film, Negatives, 6400 dpi

I needed a flatbed scanner that did negatives, positives and slides. ☼ Scanner is Epson certified refurbished. ► Power and USB cables included ► Epson Drivers work with Windows11 had no issues, *** ► Has keyed stationary template for 35mm slides for placement on deck ► Has keyed stationary template for 35mm film strips for placement on main deck ► Has keyed stationary template for working with curled film as well for placement on main deck ► Scanner has removable white platin for top desk scanning, remove for slide/film scanning ►Top deck in lid center has small scanner/backlight to work with film/slides (saves lots of time and focuses on only the areas you need to scan and forgets the rest when not needed ►Scanner smart software knows and tells you when to remove the upper deck platin sliding insert for film scanning ▬▬ ☼ What I didn't know why buying scanner ►It included between Epson and German company LaserSoft is SilverFast SE software 8 and free upgrade to version 9 (Downloadable - would highly encourage to get this even if you don't have the EPSON, they cover many scanners and profiles and have even better software available if needed - I'm impressed with them). • Software has IR scanning capabilities to remove dust and scratches keeping and interpolated 3600 resolutions. Expect (300-600dpi actual). • Even with interpolated 3600 I was astounded how well it worked and clear scans were on old slides that have been in transit tens of thousands of miles across Asia and the US over a period of 50+ years, including heat and humidity. • SilverFast 9 auto detects the slide and film frames for scanning (you can manually adjust settings if it is ever off and then manually re-frame for the scans." • SilverFast 9 has manual modes and "FlightPlan" modes where the latter is pre-scheduled tasks that you can tailor as needed. This FlightPlan speeds up production scans, correction and saves handling 4 slides at a time. • At highest quality setting files size is around 40megs a slide / frame fir 35mm. You can adjust to your needs, however mine are for preservation /, restoration as needed. • Last but certainly not the least, SilverFast 9 has customizable batch handling and naming. ▬▬ ☼Generally would not have considered Epson but these factors came into play prompting me to evaluate what Epson had to offer: • Good Film and Slide scanners are hard to come by and good ones get expensive and don't offer the price point balance for small projects (under 5000 slides) I did some research on what people have used now and in the past. • ***After my poor experience with Canon and their LIDE 80 scanner drivers not working with Windows 10/11 (lack of support from Canon's part to keep up with windows which was irritating to deal with them to buy another one of their scanners). The LIDE 80 scanner worked fine with latest Ubuntu Linux, however, I needed a windows-based solution for lots of things. • No good reviews customer or otherwise on actual film scanners out there. • Auto-feeder/loader scanners were over five grand and not justifiable. • An affordable solution for small project needed. As Epson refurbished, I was fortunate to find this at half the going rate for this type of scanner. ▬▬ A summary, I'm more than pleased how this worked out for me and the task. This also demonstrates that flatbed scanners are NOT dead and still have uses IF their perspective companies will keep them updated or Windows natively supported.

I bought this for our family for Christmas to digitize hundreds of rolls of film negatives mainly taken on our SLR (pre-digital days). There are many great memories we wanted to preserve: our wedding, our young children, vacations, etc. We debated sending them to a digitizing service, but we figured that would still be a lot of work for us in trying to organize all the photos in proper chronological order...obviously, it would be a lot more expensive too. Overall it has been a great experience and the scanner provides outstanding images that rival our modern digital cameras. The most important thing is to get an efficient workflow going to minimize the amount of time it takes for a large job like ours. We had a few rolls taken on our children's cheap cameras or disposable underwater cameras. The scans of these negatives were significantly lower quality than our SLR photos. So the quality of the photos really affects the results you will get. Digital ICE is really amazing at removing dust/dirt from the negatives. It is a huge time saver over having to edit each photo with GIMP/Photoshop to remove flaws. I saw no artifacts from this process. The software's Dust Removal option did not work well, so I would advise using Digital ICE and leave Dust Removal off. However, using the Digital ICE options more than doubles the scan time, but I find this well worth it. Before starting, do some experiments to find the optimal settings for scanning your negatives. For most of our photos we used: 2400 DPI, Unsharp mask set to Low, Digital ICE on, all other check-mark options off. When saving the photos to JPEG files we used a quality setting of 7 (equivalent to 93 in other image tools such as GIMP). We also bought a second negative tray to make things more efficient. We bought the following, which is identical to the one provided with the scanner from Epson: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WVGFP7H Here is our workflow: 1. Insert negatives into the holder. Initially, we followed the directions and put them face down. But we found quite a few rolls had significant curvature that caused the negatives to touch the bottom glass. This creates newton rings that are impossible or take a lot of work to remove via an image processing program like GIMP. We did a lot of research on this and ultimately decided to put the negatives face up in the holder. We do not see any difference in image quality when doing some careful testing. 2. Give a few puffs of air to both sides of the negatives to remove dust/dirt. We bought a Giottos AA1900 Rocket Blaster from Amazon, which works well. Then insert negatives on scanner glass and close. 3. Hit <preview> on Epson Scan. During this minute, remove the previous negatives that just came out of the scanner and file these away. 4. Hit <all> on the preview scan pane to select all images. To undo the fact we put the negatives in upside down: Hit <mirror> button, then <rotate> button twice. Then hit the Digitial ICE button and Unsharp mask to Low. It is unfortunate that the software does not remember these settings. 5. Double click on the first preview image and adjust the brightness/color as needed (using the 4th icon). Repeat this for each preview photo. We found that most of our negatives needed between -5 and -25 on the brightness. Some needed color tweaking, mainly adding some blue. 6. Hit the thumbnail button to go back to thumbnails. Then hit <Scan>. You need to think how you want to organize the photos if you have thousands of photos you are scanning. We decided on the filename: IMG_YYYY_Rollrr_nnn.jpg where YYYY is the year, rr is the roll number for that year, and nnn is photo on the roll. It is nice the software automatically increments to photo number. We had to edit some filenames later after we found some rolls out of order. 7. During the 20-25 minutes it takes to scan the negatives, prepare the next set of negatives in the second negative holder. This is a big time saver. 8. Now you can go away form the scanner/computer and do something else. Unfortunately, the software does not indicate with a sound when it is finished the scan. We wasted a lot of time when the prior scan was finished and we were away from the computer. So I wrote a little Python program that would look at the Scanning Progress window and play some music when it was no longer on the screen. This was a huge time saver, but unfortunately most users are not going to have the programming skills to be able to do this. So as soon as we hear the music, we return to the computer. This works great. 9. Remove the negatives that have been scanned and go back to step 2. After scanning a few rolls, I then go through each image to see if any have flaws. I found that about 10% need some touch up work with GIMP, mainly to remove dust that Digital ICE could not fix properly. But these were at most 2 or 3 spots per photo. About 5% of photos need some color correction or highlight/shadow optimization in GIMP; it makes sense to try to use the Epson Scan software to get this as good as possible on the previews before scanning to avoid this post-processing work as much as possible. Overall, this is a great scanner and well worth the money and time it takes to revive old memories.

For me this scanner is a case of good news/bad news. First the good news. This scanner does a great job of resolving pictures and slides. I bought this unit to scan years of my old slides. I was very impressed with the resolution and quality of the output JPG file - even at only 440K! Pictures come out the same. The scanner comes with a version of Adobe Photoshop called "Elements" which I find to be easy to use, quite intuitive. I have just started working with this software, but I believe it can do everything I want to do to clean up my pictures. I will try to update this post as I get further into "Elements. The scanner will scan 4 slides at a time. Setup and insertion of the slides is quite easy, even if it all has to be done manually. Now the bad news. I run a Mac with iOS 10.9 software. The software that comes with this scanner is not comparable with iOS 10.9. I kept getting messages to re-install the software, which I did several times to no avail. Finally I got help from the Epson technical support, which by the way was very good. In order for the scanner to work with iOS 10.9 you must delete the files titled "EPSON Scan Settings.app", "EPSON Scan.app", and "Event Manager.app". Once they are in your trash, empty the trash. Keeping these files there may interfere with the installation of new files. After you empty the trash, go to http://www.epson.com/support/ . Click on "Scanners" under the "Drivers and Support" Tab. When the screen opens, type in the Product Name (in this case "Perfection V600 Photo"). Just to the right you will see a blue box titles "Support Links". Click on "Drivers and Downloads" just below. Once there, download the files with the same names you just deleted. They will go to your downloads file. Open your downloads file, click on the Epson downloads and install the new files. I was able to get everything going after doing this, but I had wasted a couple of hours trying to make everything work with what came in the box. From the time you push the "scan" button until the scan is complete takes about 4 minutes. The first 30-45 seconds is for the Scan software to open. This is annoying because while you may be in the middle of scanning 1000 slides, the software closes at the end of each scan of 4 slides. This is really something that needs improvement. Scanning the 4 slides themselves takes 3 minutes plus. So............ The scanner performs well, and gives you a JPG file that is really detailed and crisp. I've been scanning slides from 35 years ago and the pictures this scanner generates are just terrific!! There is also color truing with the program so that if your old photos and/or slides have aged or yellowed you can correct for more true color. The Adobe Elements software seems to be quite good, in fact I much prefer it to trying to edit a photo in iPhoto or Pixelmator. But this scanner takes a lot of time to use, and the closing and re-opening of the scanning software is annoying. However, if the scanner scanned faster, I don't think you would get as good quality in the JPGs as this scanner will give you. If you run iOS 10.9 you will be fine after you get the software changed out. I would recommend this scanner for price and quality of output, but I think Epson has some work to do to address the issue of the software closing after each scan.

First things first: The V600 is well put together, seems sturdy enough at the start, plays nicely with a Windows 1 PC, and does beautiful scans of color slides, color and B&W negatives, printed photos, and documents. It's worth the money. That's the TL;DR. If you want to know more, keep reading. The best two things about the V600 are its versatility and its price. Aimed at the photo enthusiast and hobbyist market, it retails for around $350 in 2025. It is capable of scanning film negatives of any size, 35mm film slides, prints up to 8.5 x 11.7 inches, and full-sized documents up to 8.5 x 11.7 inches. Other scanners out there can do some of these things, but only the Epson V600 and its higher-end companion, the V850 Pro, can do all of these things. The next best thing about it is that, as of 2025, it's still for sale. The V500 was released in 2007. We purchased one in 2012, and it lasted until 2025. The V600 was released in 2009, as the successor to the V500. It's almost exactly the same size, and it has higher resolution and faster scanning. The professional-grade V850 Pro was released in 2014. The V600 and its companions serve what is increasingly a niche market. All-in-ones now have photo & document scanning capabilities as good as these scanners. And dedicated film scanners come in a few different technologies to handle slides and negatives. Fewer consumers seem to be interested in the technology-and-feature combination that the V600 offers. I'm glad Epson still sells it. (Note that the dedicated film scanners are largely (almost entirely) limited to 35mm film. You probably can't archive your grandparents' old 126 or 110 negatives.) Up-to-date drivers and software can be downloaded from the Epson website. For Windows 11, the V600 still uses the original Easy Scan software. For MacOS, the V600 uses Easy Scan 2. You can also download Easy Scan 2 for Windows 11, but it's not officially supported for the V600 model. I'm not saying you shouldn't try it, just be warned. Third-party scanning software such as SilverFast also supports the V600, if you would rather use that instead of Easy Scan. I can't think of any negatives to this product. The fact that it's still selling, and that Epson has never released a successor, says a lot about its design, its quality, and its staying power.

...it is operated by a a piece of worthless software call "EpsonScan". I also doubt the hardware can do what Epson advertises since I do not have a chance to test it. When I receive the scanner, I go to their web site and downloaded the latest software/driver package for Windows 10. Installation goes well; plugged the scanner into the front USB port, turn it on and fire up EpsonSCAN for first run. Up comes the error "Cannot communicate with the scanner. Make sure the scanner is on, correctly setup and connected with no errors indicated. For detailed information, see Solving Problems in the User's Guide." Ok, scanner is plugged in, no error light, what User's Guide? Oh, this pdf file from Epson site that looks like a left-over file from a 80s high school e-bulletin board. No solution there. Spend an hour trying, get as far as hitting the scan button before it stop with the same error. Give up for the night and call Epson tech support next morning. Get some foreign person with heavy accent who practically reads from a script, constantly puts me on hold for "checking", then she asks to call me back when she find the "solution". She never does. After some troubleshooting with my old Canon 9000F scanner, I find that this scanner is very sensitive to USB ports that runs through the shared PCIe bus via the south gate of your motherboard, in addition to the way Windows Image Acquisition service runs. (And in this days and ages, who would use a USB 2.0 connection for a high data stream scanner?) So I switch the scanner to the USB ports on the back of the PC, and the symptom almost disappears (it does come up a few times for no apparent reasons, sometimes in the middle of a scan. The power saving setting for the scanner was never turned on via Epson Settings.) Then I start testing the software settings by scanning my old film negatives (using the same 4 negatives) and old photos (same 4 photos). Resolution first: from 1200 to 12800 dpi just to see what the hardware could do. The file sizes are huge (no-compression TIFF format) but I have 15TB of RAID 10 storage space and these files are just test files which will be deleted. Turning on TIFF JPEG-compression scheme the file size are down to about 1/10th with no loss in quality to my eye), Interesting that the only TIFF compression Epson offers is Windows JPEG and not other schemes. With every other options turned off, the scans are made successfully. Then I begin turning on options and mixing combinations. I find that the "Dust Removal" function is extremely limited; any scan above 1200 dpi with the option turned on will stop the scan with the error "Scanner could not allocate the required memory. Quit other application and try again." The application gives the error when it *is* the only application running on my Windows 10 Enterprise rig with OS option to allocate more RAM to it turned on. This happens on a custom-built workstation with 128GB of RAM??? Support cannot even begin to give any information on how the application allocates its memory. It looks as if EpsonScan is a 32-bit application and Dust Removal process has the 32-bit limitation of 4GB. When it works, Dust Removal is very effective in combination with Unsharped Mask option, but with RAM allocation limitation it is near useless. I do not know why EpsonScan even offers the option under higher resolutions, e.g. they could just make it unavailable when higher resolution is chosen. Another evidence of poorly written software. As others point out, EpsonScan's Color Correction function does clip off both ends, so constant adjustments are needed. In addition, choices are not cached/remembered/made default from one scan session to the next, so time is wasted resetting all choices. And the break-point for me is the limitations on file size when scanning photos: EpsonScan should make the limitation known up-front by either graying out options when certain combinations are made and explains the reasons in its documentation, or as soon as certain choices are made. Epson does neither with their software or documentation. Instead, I waste time with all the settings then get the "image size is too large..." error when hitting the Scan button (the first few times.) and find no explanation anywhere. At least Epson is free with the scanner; Vuescan Pro produces flat, dull results and its color controls are ancient, inconvenient and lacking in modern photographic works. It also has no indication that it is working after hitting the "scan" button (You hit the start button and nothing happens for long minutes); Silverfast is costly, produces better colors (less work post-scan with Photoshop), higher resolutions and better dust removal, but the interface is very confusing. For me, the Epson scanner might be a great scanner but it is rendered useless by a badly designed piece of software. I am returning this scanner.

I bought this scanner mainly to scan old negatives. It works great for that but it took a little getting used to. First, it's not wireless but I'm learning to live with it. Second, the software does work with Window's 11, BUT, it does have some flaws that I think Epson could fix. Mainly, some of the buttons are hidden until you click on them. I had to watch someone on YouTube to even figure out there were buttons I can't see until I click on them. Important buttons like SCAN and PREVIEW, for example. I was able to see them on the YouTube video but not on my software. Why? Who knows. Several other buttons are hidden as well so I just click around the window until I find them, then I can explore what they do and see if I need them. For example, in the Professional Mode, on the Normal tab, you can rotate the negative photos but the button is hidden. Crazy! I also figured out you can place a marquee around each photo or negative so you don't have to crop them later. You do this in the Normal tab. And you can scan multiple photos or negatives this way as well. It saves a LOT of time. It does take time when you are scanning negatives. Sometimes 20-60 minutes depending on how many and what settings your are using. I guess I just expected that it would be super fast like it is for photos but it makes sense that it takes a lot longer for negatives. I found a box of my grandmother's old film so most of the negatives I am scanning are the old 120/220 mm film. I also have some 35mm film that is more square than normal 35mm film so it doesn't work with the A tray as it cuts the top off the picture. I did find an adapter for that film but you could also just place it on the glass and scan it while using tray B to make sure it's in the right place and is straight. So far things are working just fine so I'm glad I bought the scanner. I just scan negatives while watching a movie or folding clothes or something because it's a lot of waiting. I like that the software automatically fixes some of the flaws in the negatives, like color and exposure. It is able to scan photos that are really dark, where people may have forgotten to use the flash and the scanner brightens them up enough to see. For example, right before my dad left for Germany in 1970, they took pictures of him and his siblings while he was in his army uniform but they were really dark. I'm glad I'm able to see those pictures all these years later. They are still grainy but at least those memories are still there.

I usually wait a few days to months to write a review for a product to give it a fair shake. However, I'm so impressed by this scanner that I felt compelled to share this with anyone's who's in the same boat as me. Long story short, I have stacks of old photos that I need to preserve for future generations. My old scanner/printer combo was horribly slow and the quality was seriously lacking (600dpi max). I researched scanners and decided on this one due to the positive reviews. This is PERFECT for anyone who doesn't want a hassle to do massive scans. I got it delivered, plugged it in, downloaded the latest drivers from epson and inserted a photo to scan. EASE OF USE: One button scan, it read my photo as color, saved the image into "my pictures" folder and I was done. It took 5-10 seconds total. Woah! So I try again, this time I put three 4x6 photos. Repeat process, I click the scan button on my PC, and it recognized all 3 photos separately, and saved all 3 into the default "my pictures." I go crazy and scan in 55 photos in a matter of 45 minutes. That's unheard of for me and my scanning fiascos in the past. I've owned 3 scanners in the past 10-15 years. I've always hated scanning due to the slow speed and random error messages etc. IMAGE QUALITY: The quality is great, it was not faded nor grainy. I'm sure if I look close enough, I could probably find some differences from the original to the scanned image. Honestly, to my naked eye, it looks good to me. Even my wife was impressed with the results and she was dubious with my past failures in scanning and the results. I'm positive I can knock out our family photos in a very short time without hassle now. Pros: - Fast - Easy (I don't want to fuss with settings if I can get a good scan in one try) - Good to great image quality at this price range Cons: - Not much, but it is huge. It took a big footprint on my desk, so read the product dimensions carefully. I'm sure there are more technical reviews out there. I'm just getting to the point in my life where I just want things to work and not have to think about it. I'm sure there are a ton of other features that I've not begun to explore with this printer. At this point, I don't care since I can preserve our family photos. This was easily one of the best couple of hundred dollars that I've spent in a long time. One technical hiccup: With only the driver download from Epson, the scan button on the scanner would randomly NOT start a scan. Once I downloaded the "Epson Event Manager" application and had it run in the background, the buttons on the scanner worked like a charm. Hope this helps someone else. Maybe one day, I'll read the manual and find out what else this baby can do. For now, I'll happily start scanning the rest of the photos and finish this important "honey do" item. My machine: Windows 7 - 64 bit self built machine. I can't speak for mac users. Enjoy scanning. You won't regret this purchase.

I've had the Epson V600 Scanner since 2010. I compared it side-by-side with the Epson Perfection V370 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with scan-to-cloud & 4800 x 9600 dpi (B11B207221) using the Epson software and also Vuescan by Hamrick Software. Here is the concise comparison, based on the most common scanning tasks: QUICK DOCUMENT SCAN: Both scanners handle this with one button. Both use LEDs instead of fluorescent bulbs, so there is no warm-up delay. There's virtually no difference between them. Use the included Epson software. OCCASIONAL PHOTO SCANS: Both scanners excel at this, again with one button. No difference between them. Use the Epson Software OCR: Both scanners include OCR software. Depending on your application, both do an acceptable job. Take your time, line up the pages carefully, rescan when a page has lots of errors. Neither scanner has an automatic document feeder, so you won't be hand-feeding 100 pages without some fatigue. No difference between the scanners. BOOK/OBJECT SCANS: This is something I didn't know I would need before getting the V600. But if the scanner does not have a hinged lid designed for objects thicker than a piece of paper, it will be a major inconvenience to scan a book or a 3D object (I've scanned remote controls, artwork, school projects, etc.). Both scanners have a well-designed hinged lid, and work very well with thick books. FILM SCANNING: This is where you start to see a difference between these two scanners. The V600 delivers a significantly better result than the V370 with transparencies. It's resolution is 6400 dpi vs 4800 dpi for the V600. This makes a real and noticeable difference with film, because the original is small and you want all the resolution you can get. In addition, the V600 has a secondary infrared lamp for film scanning, which can make a significant difference for color slides and negatives because it makes dust "disappear." The V370 does not have an IR lamp. HIGH RESOLUTION SCANNING: Many people put a bit much emphasis on scanner resolution. The fact is, if you are not scanning film or doing some type of technical work where you zoom way in to an image, you will seldom scan a full-size original at the full resolution of the scanner, because each scan will be hundreds of megabytes! The resolution of the V600 is much higher than that of the V370, which will only make a difference if you scan film or do highly-detailed work. If you don't already know you have an application like this for the 6400 dpi of the V600, it is unlikely you will need more resolution than the 4800 dpi of the V370. EPSON SOFTWARE (included): The Epson software has gotten better with every release. The newest version for the V370 does photo stitching and direct scanning to cloud accounts, in addition to one-button scanning and photo repair. Epson gives you four modes to choose from, each with a few more controls to tweak. My daughter will not touch Vuescan (see below) because the one-click Epson software does a great job for many jobs, and the Professional mode gives access to most settings to improve your scans. Mac and Windows are both well supported. VUESCAN SUPPORT: Vuescan from Hamrick Software is an amazing third-party product that gives you significantly better control of every aspect of your scans. I've used it since buying the V600. I downloaded the latest release, which directly supports the V370, to do this review. However, I realized something: The included Epson software has gotten so good, casual or intermediate scanner users are unlikely to ever need Vuescan. And if you do need the extra control and features of Vuescan, you probably want the V600 scanner. This is the key finding of this comparison: If you are the kind of person who will spend many hours scanning hundreds of photos, and learning how to tweak every possible setting to get the best scan before importing it into PhotoShop for further manipulation, then you want the V600. If you are an a less technical user who doesn't adjust digital photos in Photoshop or tweak scans in Vuescan or scan film, then you will be thrilled with the V370 with its included software. Both of these products are light years ahead of what scanners could do 10 years ago. SUMMARY: Buy the V370 unless you are a PhotoShop guru who loves to tweak, or you have a lot of highly-detailed scanning work that requires 6400 dpi resolution. The V600 will do a significantly better job on negatives or slides, but if you have lots of film to scan, look into a film scanner. Original V600 review from 2010: I got rid of my last scanner about 12 years ago. Back then, they were slow, worked poorly with slides and negatives, and the drivers caused unmitigated grief for your computer. So it was with some trepidation that I installed the V600 onto our MacBook running Snow Leopard and HP laptop running Vista. I need not have worried. The included software performed flawlessly, and the scanner creates amazing scans even when using the fully automatic settings. I have uploaded three scans, all using the automatic settings: * White horse, scanned from a print made from a digital camera * Candy scanned from objects on the scanner bed * A dog's tail, also scanned from the the live object All three scans (especially the candy and dog's tail) are courtesy of my 12-year old daughter, who is getting very creative with the V600. Epson has delivered software that makes the whole scanning experience easy while still delivering high quality results. The film scanner uses special trays (included) and a separate light source, and delivers 6400 dpi. The automatic results are decent, actually a lot better than my neighbor's scanner that cost three times as much as this one. But for great film or negative results, grab a copy of VueScan on the web. Scanners are actually very complex animals, with color profiles a myriad of available settings (which are mostly kept under the hood of the included Epson software). If you want to tweak your results, VueScan is the best solution. It directly supports the V600, and includes profiles for dozens of different negative and transparency film stocks. The results are substantially better than what you can get with the included software. I haven't found a flaw with this product yet. 5 stars for sheer delight.

Purpose: I bought this scanner to digitise 1000s of 1970s, 80s pictures of our family. Most of the photos were already faded and lost colour. Progress: I have already completed scanning 2000+ photos and works like charm. Exactly what I expected. Feedback: 1. Works perfectly on my Mac (despite some reviews say it doesn't). I am using latests Mac OS version on MacBook Pro. Was not hard setting it up on my Mac. Just downloaded the latest version software "Epson Scan 2" from the website and it worked. 2. Picture Quality is much better than any other scanners I tried (& bought) before trying this one. Quality is close to what you can see in the picture, is what you will get it on your file. Other scanners, though they claim 48 bit colour, they gave colour banding issues. 3. Faded colours are auto corrected if the feature is enabled during scan. (I still had to do some on Photoshop) 4. Both Colour and Grayscale pictures worked perfect. 5. Best part is, when you scan multiple photos, the photos are cropped into separate files and colour restoration works for each photo separately. Overall: No complaints so far. Bit expensive though.

Tengo un monto de negativos de 35mm y 120mm que necesitaba digitalizar. Estuve buscando varios escaners y este me parecio bueno para el precio pero tenia mis dudas. La verdad es que no me ha decepcionado. La calidad de las imágenes es bastante buena con el software que viene por defecto. Me tomó varias pruebas para lograr los ajustes (en el software) necesarios para tener los mejores resultados pero ya se pagó solo.

Fantastic piece of kit. Simple to use and does a fantastic job

I was very unhappy with the scanning of my artworks, on which I put a lot of effort in terms of the detail, the technique and the colours, only to have my ordinary scanner-printer-copier downgrade them on all those things. So I investigated scanner for artworks and I came across this one. It definitely scans so much better than the 3-in-1 copier-scanners. In fact, the reproduction of detail is so good that now I have to be careful with little errors that did not appear on the previous scanner images! Besides, it has got several adjustments you can make on colour, definition, contrast and the like. This allows you to tweak the settings gradually until you get the ideal combination of them and then you save them for all subsequent scans. But....yes, only one disadvantage: The scanner is an old model and WiFi was not even available for it. So you have to connect it with the old USB cable and the computer often struggles to make the connection with the scanner, even with the cable. Sometimes I even have to restart the computer and the scanner in the hope that they will see each other. As the quality of scanning is more important than the convenience of wireless communications, for me, I am prepared to live with this small inconveniences.

The Epson V600 photo has to be the most efficient and budget-friendly scanner out there. If you are a photographer who shoots on film and wants to have more control over your negatives then go for it! I have scanned 500’s of 35mm & 120 mm film negatives and I found no flaw as of yet. PRO TIP : You can get yourself a free Silverfast scan software by just entering your product ID number. Go to the EPSON website to get more details on it.
