Review: Great scanner for the price! - So far I have scanned over 4,800 images and I have been very pleased with the quality of the scans. Not only does it scan multiple images at once, it will often put them in the right direction. And it will still scan an image correctly even if it isn't exactly straight. Sometimes an image may need to be rescanned, but I found this to be only sometimes and with certain images over others. The 4x6 seemed to have the most rescanned and even those were not that many. A few times the images on the scanner bed were scanned all as one image but that was very rare and I found switching to a different selection of images resolved the problem. This occasionally happened with black and white images. Swapping out one of the images for one of color always resolved the problem. The scanner software, despite what some reported, works great for scanning the images and for simple cropping. I really like that you can continue to scan images instead of sending them to your computer after each scan. It makes the process much faster. Additional photo editing would probably best be done in dedicated software. Despite the minor negatives I have mentioned, I still give it 5 stars because it honestly deserves it, in my opinion. No, it is not a professional scanner, but most of us do not need to scan our family photos in a professional scanner. The scans are clear and concise. Exactly what is needed. The scanner is super lightweight and easy to store. And very convenient since it only needs to be connected to your computer and not to a power source. I have had a lot of scanners over the years and honestly I was trying to avoid scanning all of my photos on a flatbed scanner, remembering how torturous it was to get the photo straight in the past. But I am so glad that I took the chance and made the purchase of this scanner. Review: Horrible in every way - After about 2 or 3 scans it quits working. I reboot. Sometimes that helps. After 2 or 3 more scans then it needs rebooting again. Sometimes that no longer works. Then I uninstall & reinstall the software. Then it works for about 2 or 3 more scans & the same thing happens all over again. I’m using a Mac computer but it claims to be compatible. I don’t think it is. I had an Epson that I used with a Windows computer. It worked great. It is obsolete for my Mac so I had to buy a new scanner. Since I was happy with my old scanner, I went with another Epson. I’ve only had it a week, but I’ve reloaded the software about a dozen times & rebooted more times than that. I’ve talked to people at Epson at least 3 times & had communication problems each time. If it is working when I get off the phone with them, they think it is fixed. It lasts about 2 or 3 scans & then it all starts over again. Since I’m still in the return window, I’m about ready to send it back. Some of the scans are great, some are washed out. You never know how the color is going to be either. It won’t let you scan directly into Photos. The go into Pictures. Then you have to transfer them to Photos & delete them from Pictures. Lots of extra steps that seem unnecessary. This has been beyond frustrating!!!
