I want to scan a bunch of family slides. The Nikon 5000ED scanner with the SF-210 auto slide feeder retails for about $1500. Are there no other brands? How does one find used ones that are reliable? Respond to

I have a Visioneer 6600 USB and Paperport 6.5. Plenty for my use. But is there any way to adjust the auto-crop feature in Paperport? I find that it encroches a few pixels around the edge making it difficult to read some letters. Thanks

I have scanned a large number of photos, which I now need to straighten and crop. This is a tedious process to do by hand. In Paint Shop Pro 7, I need to guess how much rotation is needed, apply the rotation, re-guess and re-rotate as necessary to get the image straight, then manually crop. Can...

I am scanning several hundred old color photo slides and negatives. I find that with APE it takes me a long time to correct the color and brightness. I found the following APE plug-in products which claim to do the job automatically and offer trial downloads. Digital ROC iCorrect ColorPilot

Hi all, From time to time I'd like to scan 8.5 X 11 pages of B&W text to email. What are some good settings to use for this, that will produce a nice looking easily readable screen images, along with reasonable file sizes? Thanks in advance, Erik

I have diabetic neuropathy in my optic nerves, which is sugar crystals in there and that messes-up eyesight. But glasses do work fine to correct my vision. I seem to notice that my images (35 slides) look sharp under a loupe, then I scan them and they come up fuzzy! My older 6x7 positives are...

Hi, I am looking for a solution to bulk scan barcodes on coupons. The coupons are 105mm X 60mm and we receive them in batches of approximately 50. I would ideally like a scanner that I could feed these coupons through a document feeder and have the barcodes scanned as they pass through, otherwise...

My ex has given me her old scanner, it is a Compeye Simplex DM166M flatbed scanner. She also gave me the CD of imaging software which I believe was Ulead Photo Express (v2.0??) TWAIN software. But I lost the CD in a house clearance - she said "not to worry, you can download it off the net". But...

I am looking for a film scanner to index my existing negative/slide collection and new stuff. I don't plan on using the scanned images for more than small prints, if at all. Can anyone comment on the merits of the Benq scanner please? I know that it's a couple of years old now but it appears cheap...

Bought the Benq 5000 Scanner from eBuyer - probably a mistake as very cheap. Some of the software is truely appalling - but the only thing that is very bad is the fact that I cannot see how to define the "print area" used when the print button is pressed on the front of the scanner. It auto picks...

I have recently noticed that the images resulting from scans of color pix seem to be color shifted. The majority of my scanning has been grey scale, so the color shifting may have been occurring longer that it seems. Color rebalance brings the true colors closer but not really correct. Is...

I have a BenQ Scanwit 2720S. It's starting to preview scan only the first frame or slide. Can anyone help? Many thanks Rod

Can anyone recommend a good All-In-One Printer-Copier with a Scanner that has a document feeder? Thanks in Advance.

I'm looking to buy a new scanner that can handle color photos and has a document feeder to create PDFs. Can anyone recommend a moderately priced machine that can handle both well? Looked online at HP 5590c and 5550c but both got bad user reviews. Thanks!

I have a flatbed scanner, USB2, Epson brand. I am scannning all my old family photos to DVD archive. By default Epson scans at 300 DPI. Scans look OK on the computer screen, but what if I someday want to get a new color print made from one of the TIFF files? I can select a non-automatic mode, and...
