Any advice would be appreciated. What I would recommend is to debug. Uninstall the drivers and try to install it one by one. I have no conflicts between two drivers installed on the same OS. Thanks for that. Maybe it was just a HP thing. I just tried and returned the Jumbl 22MP. I got it to replace an older Jumbl 5 MP, hoping for better resolution. The new Jumbl often got colors badly wrong — yellow or green in excess.
The older Jumbl scanned the same negatives without problems. The 5MP Jumbl is fast and easy. The Jumble 22MP was a disappointment — perhaps I just got a bad unit. I have an old Konica-Minolta Dimage scanner, however that software is no longer supported and does not work in Windows. It is also a very slow slide scanner. Have you tried to clean the lens of Jumbl 22MP or the films you want to scan? You can preview the image first and adjust the color and exposure.
Regarding with batch slide scanning, the PowerSlide is a good option while Wolverine F2D Mighty 20MP 7-in-1 or is a good for fast 35mm film scanning. I usually choose the autofeed scanners rather than flatbed when scanning hundreds of films. Is there another scanner that will do batch?
You will be amazed by its scanning speed but the output is not good. I use the autofeed scanners when scanning multiple films and slides. The PowerSlide is by far the best option for batch scanning.
Can you recommend a stand alone scanner for photos? I am trying to digitize a photo collection for my hometown Historical Society and would like higher res stand alone photo scanning on site that I can clean up later on my computer.
Hi, I will be starting a project of scanning thousands of family 35mm negatives and slides. I am in the market for a high end scanner that has an output that allows for image manipulation in Adobe CC. Should I be looking for a scanner that produces RAW files? What would you suggest? Do you need fast scanning method or just the typical flatbed or auto fed scanners?
This limits you to a few options. Plustek makes OK scanners, the Pacific Image PrimeFilmXA is a few notches higher output—it deals with darker slides better and has adjustable focus. Upgrade to silverfast AI studio. It makes a difference in output as it allows focusing for the Pacific Image and also produces high bit raw files. Get your negatives perfectly flat. Lay heavy books on top of them for several weeks to flatten the film.
Sort your slides by type-kodachrome, ektachrome, fujichrome, etc. Buy an IT8 target slide for better color-and use the auto calibrate function in Silverfast. Each particular scanner will produce slightly different color. DO not use infrared dust removal for kodachrome slides-it does not work properly. Buy a fast computer with a large SSD drive.
Silverfast produces very large RAW files mbmb a piece. I have , lots, maybe thousands of photos and negatives, and some slides that I want to digitize.
I am not too concern about resolution. Enough for uploading to Facebook or view online. Speed is of the essence, or my key concern. I think I probably have negatives for my print photos.
Hence, if I can get something that can scan negatives and slides quickly, that is good enough for me. Ideally something that can feed negative strips quickly.
If that can load on its own in batches without me watching over it, all the more better. I have read the above reviews quickly but am unsure which meets the above criteria. Thanks for any advice. Both are fast scanners. I would like to have a scanner which produces good colours and is fast, which one would you recommend? However, there is also options to adjust color and exposure like the Jumbl 22MP. On the other hand, beautiful scanned images are not created just through scanning directly but there are software to optimize the color, saturation, exposure etc.
So much choice and so many mixed reviews! I have Windows 10 now. The Epson v is a great choice if you want it to be connected to your computer. However, if you want a stand alone that requires no computer connection, the Jumbl 22MP or Wolverine F2D are the best, for entry to mid level at least. It is brand new — never used. Do you know anything about it? I am using a 64mb SC card but it keeps telling me the memory card is full when the card is empty. I even tried reformatting it.
Also do you know where I can get technical support since it is an older product? Do you mean SD card? And where did you buy the scanner? Go for the Epson V It has an excellent resolution and can accommodate for that size. If you have that much of negatives, I say scan at a time. The V requires that I snip the roll into short strips, scanning I guess 6 frames each time, and then have film strips instead of a roll.
That is labor intensive, slow, and undesirable results of possibly having the strips out of order. That is why I am not considering a flat bed scanned of which I have 2 high resolution ones. Other suggestion for something that can handle a roll? I understand, but try the Wolverine F2D.
Be sure to clean your negatives first for best results. That scanner will handle a bunch of films and it is fast. Plustek OpticFilm i SE has a very good speed scanning too and has scratch and dust removal technology but will stretch out your pocket. How long are your stitched films by the way? They are standard 35 mm rolls with frames each. About pcs all in all? Can you be more specific about the film designation?
Wonder if anyone could help me, I am looking to get some 12 x 8 prints made from 35mm slides, the slides are historic and it is important to try and get the best possible quality prints they can provide. I have already some prints made by a company that I sent them to, they used a Fuji Frontier printer at ppi.
My question is ppi seems awfully low especially when I see other scanners have over ppi capability. Can anyone please point me in the right direction and advise what would be a good scanner to buy to reproduce at high quality.
How many are those 35mm slides? Both have superb scanning resolution up to x dpi for prints. They produce high quality prints for slides and films. The Digital ICE helps with the quality output. Scanplify Hi. Thank you for your advice. I guess I have approx slides so quite a number! It seems a lot of people recommend the Epson v, any other thoughts would be welcome and I am very grateful for any advice.
You are welcome Gary! I like the v a lot though it takes time scanning films and slides. Man its a tedious job but worth it. And v is an efficient scanner, a certified Energy Star. Scanplify Great! Thanks again for the advice, off to source an Epson v scanner! I would imagine the resolution difference is negligible and most buyers would be happy with V? Oh dilemma! However, if your requirements are met by v, go for it since you need a high quality prints with an excellent DPI.
Hi, I have read all the reviews and am confused as to what scanner would suit me best for the job in hand.
I have mixed slide manufacturers in cardboard and plastic mounts and would like a good result but have limited funds.
Are there scanners that do multi loading? Can you help please? The Wolverine Titan 20MP is great choice for that. The V is also a good option for that. It has a great quality output for slides. Also, have you considered the Kodak Scanza? Scanplify Hello again! Been doing my research on the Epson v How can an advertised high end product be so far off the mark?! I understand online reviews can not always be relied upon and there is no other remarks to substantiate such a claim but your views and that of the readers would be most welcome.
Thank you in advance. By the way what particular size of prints you wish to print? I am looking to get 12 x 8 prints from 35mm slides. Obviously I would like to send the best possible digital files to the printers. I am leaning towards the Epson V but need to be sure before committing to buy! Sorry for late replies. I am busy with work. I believe you can achieve that with v or v, even the v will do. I hope you get the right scanner for that job but I would like to share an article for you to achieve the best quality prints from your 35mm slides.
Does anyone know of a scanner that can digitize one of the two 35 mm slides on a mounted stereo 3D slide? Scanning 3D stereo slides is very tricky. But you need to improvise or scan one image. Thanks for this scanner. I suggest your testers might want to compare results with the output of the unbelievably stable and reliable Nikon LS Super Coolscan ED, especially paired with the 35mm slide feeder SF — 60 cardboard-mounted slides at a shot.
Pros: Off the market more than a decade, a simple PD add-on. Third-party scanner software available offers decreased quality and no bulk support. Quality is near-perfect, even with year-old slides — post-production work is necessary on any old film to properly rebalance color.
Takes up to 2 min. Final report — let it run all day — places little load on anything beyond a MHz Pentium, removes newton-ring deposits built up on slides Deterioration, not glass-mounts. Short question to the scanners; do they show the negative film as a positive image on the LCD Display? If not all, which one does? Any recomandation? Please advice. Best regards Roy Heitmann. I have my mind just about made up to purchase an Epson V scanner. There are two things I cannot find an answer for.
How long would it take to scan slides. With my current machine, it takes me about 50 minutes. It depends on what resolution you want your slide digitized. The V has 4 mounted slides with 4 frames in it. Without using the Digital ICE and assuming you are scanning at the lowest resolution it could be faster compared to your current machine. I have a Braun slide scanner that scans batches using a slide round tray.
I am wondering if there is any scanner available that will do the same thing but with a Kodak 80 slide tray so I do not need to remove every slide from the Kodak tray, put it in the Braun tray to scan and then return it back into the Kodak tray. I believe you can do it with Pacific Image Powerslide however it is now discontinued by the manufacturer.
Thanks for asking about this. I will have to contact some manufacturers if they are compatible with round Kodak round trays since they widely available. I now have upgraded my desk top to a Windows 10 model with an SSD main memory. There is apparently no software which is compatible with window 10 for this scanner. I was thinking of buying the Epson V but this seems to be out of stock and unavailable.
There is a V listed is this a comparable replacement and compatible with Windows 10? While placing them, try to be careful and not scratch or damage the film. At this stage, you can use a remote-controlled wireless flash or a bright desk lamp.
You need to place the lightsource the glass and direct it to the film. Using a flash, you need to experiment to get the settings right.
You need to get the slightly overexposed photo paper. I used Canon EX set at half power at the distance of about 12 inches. Set your camera to manual mode. Aperture is very important; it must be set to about f. ISO should be at the lowest point to reduce noise. Now, you are ready to convert negatives to digital photos free! It is not obligatory but is definitely a good habit that will keep the original image intact.
If you scanned the color film, you can skip this step. Select the crop tool and delete all the numerical values in the settings. Match one of the edges of the frame as close to the corresponding corner of the photo as possible.
You can use arrow keys to do it precisely. In the center of the frame, there is a small circle, the reference point around which you will rotate the image. Click it and drag it into the corner you set in the previous step. Now, the reference point will be attached to this corner. Step Rotate the frame to be parallel to the edge of the shot.
Move the mouse to one of the corners next to the reference point until the cursor looks like a bent line. Click the mouse and drag until the frame is parallel to the edge of the shot.
Set the other edges of the frame to crop the photo properly. Click and drag on the square in the middle of the sides of the frame until you get the frame around the image. Now, you can export or print it! Help and support For the most part, these devices are designed to be user-friendly, with simple interfaces and handy user manuals that accompany the scanner in the box. Many manufacturers also provide you with multiple resources as a means for you to troubleshoot problems or learn how to use a specific feature.
Most companies also host informational resources on their websites, from walkthroughs and video tutorials to digital user manuals, a hearty FAQs section and an active community user forum.
The best companies should also provide you with at least one method of contacting their customer support representatives, should you ever need to discuss a question with them directly. These are primarily used by professionals, who need to bulk scan negatives and slides. The smaller machines are perfectly adequate for most individuals. Slides can be coated in grime and particles that make it difficult for a slide to digital image converter to do its job.
If you digitize your classic media without first cleaning it, any gunk on them will also appear in your converted image. All the converters in our comparison do come with simple soft brushes for your media, which generally do a good job of removing most debris. However, you can also try using a soft cloth, compressed air or anything else along those lines.
We have an in-depth guide to the best photo scanning service s available in the US, which can help you pick a company that can assist you with your project.
The benefit of using one of these services, over buying your own gadget, is that they can save you a lot of time.

In addition to these benefits, a lot of these companies provide add-on services for tweaking, restoring and editing images.
So if you have some badly water damaged media, they can still rescue these pics. From our research, we found that the best photo scanning services are upfront with their pricing and other pertinent information. They should provide details regarding what image sizes and formats they can work with, their price per image, whether or not they work with damaged media, what digital and physical output options they have as well as what their turnaround time is.
You should also be able to easily find information about shipping liability, minimum order requirements and how to submit your film and slides.
A relatively new type of device, these little gadgets are usually powered by batteries and work with your phone. The compact scanners feature miniature LED-powered backlights, which illuminate your negatives or 35 mm slides.
These illuminated images can then be captured by the camera on your smartphone, which is slotted in place on top of the device. You can do this by using some of the best photo editing software. These tools give you a lot of control over the image, allowing you to adjust brightness and contrast among other things.
This can help you arrange your snaps so that you never lose them again. Suzanne loves reviewing, playing with and owning all-things tech, especially if it pertains to hardware or video games.
