I love the Epson Perfection V600 Scanner. I bought it primarily to scan/digitize all my old slides, of which I have many. And it worked really well for that purpose. I can scan four slides at once with the included slide holder (I’ve included a photo of the slide holder on the bed). I left it on automatic mode (there is a manual option). The scanner recognized and color-corrected color slides, and with the included Photo Studio 6 software, I was able to easily further enhance and modify the images. Some of my slides date back 50 years or so, so some of the colors needed correction!But I was really impressed with how it let me digitize all my color and black and white printed photos, up to six at once depending on the size of the photo. (I’ve included a picture of five photos placed on the scanner bed.) No matter how many pictures or in what position I placed photos on the flatbed, the scanner scanned each one as a separate image, positioning the final images right side up. I’d say about 10-15% of the time it got the orientation wrong (upside down, etc.); but mostly it got it right. And no more than 1% of the time did it capture only a partial image, forcing me scan a photo again. You do have to leave an inch margin/gap between multiple photos on the bed, though, or the scanner might interpret two or more pictures as a single image. Also, black and white photos that have a white border around them need to be placed away from the bed edge or else the scanner will “mess up” on the white borders – scanning some borders and clipping others. But if the black and white photos are centered away from the edge, then the scanner neatly cuts out all four white borders leaving just the photo. And if you put an image on the bed at an angle (not at all flush or parallel with the bed sides) the scanner will correct the image orientation nearly every time. You can scan color and black and white photos at the same time. The scanner figures out which is which. But slides need to be scanned separately. I successfully scanned in hundreds and hundreds of old slides and photos. This takes time, of course. A scan of five photos at once took about 75 seconds. All in all, I am super glad that I purchased the Epson Perfection V600 Flatbed Scanner. It does exactly what I needed it to do, and more. I highly recommend it.

I don’t know why it was so difficult to find a scanner this time, but it took getting this one before I could stop returning them after a day’s use.

I LOVE this scanner. I always look for what might be out there that is newer but there is little call for new scanner development. But this one does exactly what I need. it is not something meant to travel, so I keep one at places I may be where I need to scan things. My parents’ house, other locations, you name it. I’ve scanned new and old documents, new photos and old photos, film negatives, you name it. It is a workhorse. At this price point, you can’t get a better scanner.

Installed Silverfast fairly easily on a new-gen iMac, and have been improving with its use since I bought the scanner (Silverfast 8 comes with it) about a month ago. There’s only one annoying thing. The software is not made for Mac. It works on a Mac, but it’s not made for it. Obviously it is somehow modified to fit the bill, but it keeps crashing when quitting the software, etc…They are both great products and I am mostly happy. Wish it is re-coded for Apple environment.

Scanned 70’s Nam photos and it color corrects the reddish tints, awesome. Downloaded cd and easily sets scans in folder on laptop, wireless. Performance working good.

use this for “saving” many old photos, including negatives

Well, bought this since I wanted to scan photos. Scanning is very slow, when you margin to the top it crops a bit, and if you try taking it down a bit pics come out crooked. The ice technology which I read wonders about is quite bad, smudges the pics and you know about it only after scanning. The whole experience was very bad and sent it back. Very not recommended.

I ordered this but every time i turned it on the error light would come on. I am using a mac and It was so hard to find solutions for this problem online. I downloaded all the drivers but still was not able to get it to turn on and do a scan. I returned it, hopefully someone else can make better use of it.

Works great. I only wish it had an auto feed so I could scan multiple items without stopping, unloading and reloading the machine…..
