I am wanting to scan old family photos. Many of them have blemishes. Can I correct these blemishes with PE 12

It depends on the severity of the blemishes and your skill with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. PSE 12 surely has the tools to allow someone to correct/change images. However, it will most likely NOT be point and click to correct old photos.

Only the simplest of pictures can be digitized. If you have more than a few colors, it won't work. I digitized a silhouette which was only one color and it did well. A much more sophisticated program could digitize a detailed photo, but not this one. But, I will say this is a good program to begin with. I wrote a long review if you can find it a few months ago.

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

I want to scan old pictures to my computer. If logos and graphics don't come as expected I am skeptical about photos. Has anybody attempted pictures?

I scanned an interview old photo that was taken in the 50's. I then imported to Lightroom and worked on the picture to clean it up. It worked wonderfully!

We wonder if there is a spot on your scans. If so, please use the brush coming with the product and clean the "scan mirror" from the bottom. Our customer service just contacted you to offer help. Please pay attention to your mail box.

I wish I could tell you. I don't know where mine is either. I went ahead and scanned the photos without the sleeve. It did affect some of the photos and other photos were fine. I didn't have any damage to the original photos but sometimes there would be streaks in the photo after scanned. I used the pictures the way they were. I'm no professional and don't care if the photos don't look professional. They look find for the slide show I created.

I am not really sure, however I had old pictures which were a little thicker than a credit card and they scanned without any problems. I also scanned my passport book, my license, and credit cards. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions I would be more than happy to help!

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

I still don't know whether the old problem has been corrected on any of the newer canon models. I ultimately decided to get a 700 for the office, since I need best-quality text printing for my professional correspondence. My old 600 and 610 I'd bought hoping to get good-quality scans, and frankly was somewhat disappointed. Since I rarely print photos, but very much want to be able to digitize old terrific family and travel photographs, I bought a dedicated Canon scanner which is FABULOUS for my partner (CanonScan 8800F). Consumer Reports rated the 700 the only printer with excellent quality printing, and that was of foremost importance for me.

Unsure, maybe the website has that information. I have scanned photos onto glossy and matte paper with excellent results

Yes. I use it to scan documents and photos for Family History Work. It is especially useful to either color correct old photos or remove flaws from the originals.

I did not purchase this exact item because I think this is an updated version of the one I originally purchased. I returned it. It was extremely difficult to work with in scanning slides, very slow and the color resolution was awful. I eventually purchased a Canon CanoScan 8800F flatbed scanner from Amazon (probably five years ago) and love it! I scanned almost 15,000 slides and it is still going strong. Easy to work with, great for scanning slides, negatives, photos or documents. I have Windows XP and it is compatible. Remember, I purchased it years ago so I am sure there is an updated version of the one I have. I cannot say enough good about it. Not to mention customer service for Canon products is located in the U.S. I have contacted them twice and always received knowledgeable, understandable and quick resolution to my questions. I think I paid right at $200 for the Canon, but it would be worth it at twice the price. I would strongly encourage you to NOT purchase the Pacific Image unit.

JR, You should not have any problems with doing as you asked. However I would caution you that you may only be able to make corrections to the photo 4 at a time. You should be able to scan all four pictures to save time, however you should then separate them as you put them in folders allowing you to correct and print one picture at at time rather having to print all four.

You will need to set your scan for the maximum DPI possible and make sure that both the photo being scanned and the scanner glass is as free of dust / lint etc as possible. The only issue I see here is the graininess of the original photo. The larger the grain in the original the less desirable the 36 x 36 print will be.

Not really. I tried scanning OLD poloroid photos that were glued to the back of cardboard, you may be too young to remember those, but it didn't like those too much and I used my big copier/scanner for those. Also, it likes some old newpaper and not other so I would be careful about what you put thru. It did an amazing job on my photos, tho, like we got printed in the old days from Walgreen's so you can compare your project to those items. My Mom uses it for her printed out geneology that is on regular 20# printer paper and it does great. Don't know if I answered your questions but I tried.
