This really is not a professional scanner, but it is very well suited to finally show old slides again

Four stars mean Amazon "Likes" and just as it is. Who does not know. In the age of digital cameras photos are viewed only on TV, on the iPad or on the computer. Extended slide shows you only know from before. It's all so complicated: Canvas Hang, up folding ladder, slide projector Connecting ... Then it's only in winter because in summer it is so dark so late. The consequence of this is that the slide projector dust and deadlines which slides in boxes and cabinets a decades unnoticed existence. One always speaks only from the fact that you once again have to show the slides, but does happen but then nothing. So it was at least for me.

That is now history!

One morning I relaxed digitized about 15 magazines in the living room table. It's so incredibly facilitated child, make it fun again. The mounted slides are inserted as a viewer. The slide is displayed on a small screen. That alone already makes fun, because I could see my old photos again. Many adjustment possibilities you have not the unit. One can only correct the exposure - that you should do as well, if the scanner is wasting in the automatic correction, since the image information is only once gone, can not remove a lot of the digital images in retrospect. Then the scanning process takes about 2 seconds and the picture is stored on the memory card. From time to time you may need to clean it with the included cleaner, the scanning surface.

I have thin and thick frame. The thin go well, the thick frame hook at times, but I got digitized anyway each slide. In retrospect, I have the scanned images even slightly processed with Lightroom and rotated. It was important to have the images on the computer, so I can show it to me again and finally it worked. What also goes well, negative strips is "developing" to. Who has his old negatives yet, even ruckzuck digitalisisieren in this way his paper photos. I have an infinite number of paper photos from then and after I tried this feature, I will - if I have time enough time - and bring them to the computer.

I used a 16GB Class 10 memory card. The scanner showed a capacity of more than 6,000 images. The included 4GB card would thus have a capacity of more than 1,500 images. The scanned images are about 1.5 and 4 MB.

The quality of the scanned images to a not skin. Especially colors are distorted by the automatic correction often. But on the computer and on the TV to make the photos very well. You are not pixelated. Of the 500 scanned images of my USA holiday I've sorted out a maximum of 5 in retrospect, because they were unusable or just "not nice" by incorrect exposure. If one makes an effort, but you multiple scans and clever reworking (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.), by the exposure to the device, possibly saving the images. My expectations were not high for the quality for the price and were absolutely exceeded.

It is a device for home use and not for the professional, but I think it's great and I am infinitely glad to finally have some of my slides on the computer now! I highly recommend this device definitely!
