Is color correction needed for paintings scanned? I am unable to work a lot on a computer.

Yes. I am still not very good at this either. I got it exactly right one time but now can't remember what I did. I even paid someone to come help me learn how to use this scanner but it didn't help. It's a little frustrating.

The scanner once set up seems to get gorgeous and correct color. I do not do much to any adjusting except to clean up whites - because it can scan tiny lines and blemishes on my drawings.

yes, no scan is true to color and you are switching it from reflective to transmissive color so it will need adjustment.

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.

I've used it for extensive scanning and it does extremely well -- it's also very fast. Some people that complain about scans being too light apparently fail to realize they need to adjust the scan sensitivity, called the threshold level; this is accomplished using the provided scanning software called MF Toolbox. That level can be adjusted from 0 to 256, with higher numbers resulting in darker scans. It defaults to 128 (mid-range), which can result in a scan that is too light.

I did scan some very old negatives from the '30s, but it is not easy. Back then, negitives were in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The scanner does just fine, but the software is poor. I did this a few years ago, so as I remember, I used Gimp on a Linux machine. Otherwise, the Epson software expects the negative to fit into one of the included frames. Using this process, it took a few minutes of fiddle with the settings to scan just one negative.

I've had no problems with poor quality scanned photos. The default is set to 300dpi, have you tried increasing it to 600dpi? That's what I always use and that works for me. I believe the max is 1200dpi. You may want to play around with that setting and see. Also don't be fooled by the scan preview, it's not an exact representation of what the scanned photo/doc will look. Hope that helps.

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

NO, one problem is the paper feeding sometimes is not straight, so the scanned image is crooked.

I returned this product because the color results were terrible. The scans came out over tinted either blue or green and also washed out by the light from the unit. I don't remember if the output was JPEG or TIFF - just that it wasn't printable. I called their customer service and they were cordial but unable to resolve the issue.

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?

If by editing you mean cropping then fine, but the screen colors are not very accurate if you are going to be making color adjustments. You can get more accurate colors on an external monitor though.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use

Yes, "guruofvinyl" is correct. There is a setting in the software to scan negatives. It's quite effective.

The included software will let you save the scan as a jpeg or a tiff. I think it also has other formats, but these are the only two I use. Tiff files allow you to edit without creating artifact.

I had similar results when I first got my printer. When the software for the printer is installed, there is an icon that appears in the lower right corner of the notification area. If you click on that, you can set the resolution and darkness of scanned items. That cleared up my problems to where images are clear and crisp.

Yes. Scan's color and both side simultaneously. There is a limit on how stiff and thick the material. I've done both (for my own copy, not for official use). Thicker material might need some help navigating the slight bend on entry.

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.

Good quality scans at 300 dpi. Adequate for most documentation not requiring picture quality.Multiple settings (flexible) for full color or black and white.Not sufficient for archiving pictures (600-800-1200 dpi).
