How well does it scan photos and art?

I have not tried it with photos yet but I have scanned lots of my daughter's art work to save and it has performed beautifully.

I have not succeeded in doing so, and am no longer using the scanner because of problems in trying to use it. I've gone back to using my previous scanner.

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

Yes, I recommend it. I've had four different scanners. This is by far the best, light, multiple resolution settings, color or b/w. I love this one.

The scan is adequate for my purposes at 300 dpi. It is not photo scanner quality. The print quality is excellent and scanning is quick via automatic document feeder, either one -sided or 2-sided.Ray

I don't use it so much for photos -- mostly for scanning documents. But when I do on occasion, the photos are fine.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

Yes, it is easy to use. If you scan in color it takes a very long time. black and white is fast

I've used it for photo's and haven't had any problems. I scan everything in at 300 dpi, and it's pretty speedy. I have not tried doing 150 dpi though. It does auto crop and fix any skewing or rotation that may have happened too.

Absolutely. My only problem with the scanner was that it said that it could scan negatives but failed to say only 35 mm negatives. It scans photos great and I'm happy with the results.

It scans any thing you put in the frame, Mounted or un mounted. only down side is, quality may not be to your acceptance.I think It is well worth the cost. Better quality will cost more $$.

I have found the scanner to be every bit as good as a HP5P that I have previousy used for color family photographs. It has high resolution which allows enlargement of smaller photographs with high quality resulis. It is so handy to use, I never use the HP any more. I might add that the scanning software included is excellent. Wendell Hanson

Most of what I scan is printed material, i.e., bills of lading, invoices, etc. I did feed a photo through the scanner and it fed easily and didn't damage the photo. The image is pretty good but I've seen better. That been said, this little Canon scanner has so many features I haven't begun to explore yet. It could just be I don't have the machine set for ultimate photo scanning results. Bottom line for me, it's ok for scanning photos to share online but I don't think I'd use it for reproducing prints. Hope this helps.

No. But it has been great with scanning photos. I love this scanner - it is quick, easy to use and fun!

I've just used it for slide scanning, and it's a manual, one at a time operation, but it goes remarkably fast. I literally had hundreds of slides and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to scan them once I got in a rhythm.

I have scanned several photos and they come out very well. I think the max resolution is 600DPI which is probably about as good as the quality of the photograph itself. The larger the photo the clearer the scan will be. I found the saving the pictures as a .pdf seem to give you a little better quality than a .jpg and also works well if you are using a MAC.

Certainly, short of going for high-end drum scans, for the price and quality, this scanner is hard to beat. Once set up, scans are just about spot on. Use this scanner in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop to restore or retouch old photos. Note: be sure that your monitor is properly color calibrated for accurately viewing what you have scanned and for doing proper color correction and retouching.

I have not used it but the scanning is moderate at best. neat would prob be better
