STIVALI If you're like me, you have thousands of pictures over the years, pulls the stuff in a box never to be seen. Albums have also nested and can be difficult to share with family and friends. At a time when digital media devices and big screen TV is affordable and plentiful, scanning old photos is a better way to share them. Enter ScanPro 35mm slide and negative scanner. I was beginning to operate such a cheap scanner would be skeptical. So far, after the first few hundred scans, I was proven wrong. Here's what you need to know. First, this is not the best scanner, if you consider a professional image and want the best possible quality. The pictures I have scanned in the 2 or 3 days more than acceptable in order to preserve the memories of more than 20 years. They also correctly display when running a slideshow on my 67 "screen via my DirecTV DVR Secondly, the included software (BlazePhoto of BlazeVideo) is very intuitive and easy to use. It matters not a degree in rocket science need to understand. The process is simple. Place the negative strip into the holder and insert it into the scanner. Wait for the scanner to adjust the brightness and contrast adjust. The preview window allows you to manually adjust the brightness and color change before a final scan. up to 12 images can be scanned before storing them. Each image is uniquely named with the current date and time counter and a manual that constantly updates the software with each scan. Despite the convenience, I believe the software found a number of functions or features that can make it even more missing. I hope that another program (eg Adobe Photoshop) that can interact with a USB scanner work as well. Finally, it is important to note that all non-essential USB devices from your computer before scanning any additional tax to the amount of light projected onto the film, which will then affect a worse picture. This advice is clearly stated in the manual. Overall, I recommend this device for hobbyists and photogs family both with great memories to save. Personally I find it easier than using a flatbed for scanning individual print and is certainly much cheaper than paying someone to do the processing for you. 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Good buy! I would recommend! By L. DeGroat I've read many, many reviews about the film and slide scanners. I was always told you get what you pay for. I was very skeptical about buying this product at this low a price. I bought it through Amazon.com and thought it a good return policy if it was something that was wrong, so I ordered it. At the time of my purchase, which also gives a 2gig card with the scanner made the purchase even better. I received the unit on Friday and could not wait to use it, but had to wait until Monday to prove it. I bought my wife to scan, parents slides 30 to 50 years for a Christmas present and some family around and not give anything away. I tried the first 35 mm film and was not impressed with the result, but had not used the program to retouch images yet, so I'm not discarding. As I mentioned, however, I bought to make slides. All I can say is WOW! They did very well. I did not do any retouching them and not sure what you need. Yes, it may not be as great as if they were sent, but they are very good and not have to worry about being lost in the mail, if you know what I mean. I did about 600 slides a day (once in a while, not directly) and was much faster than I thought it would be.
