What are you thoughts on scanning software? Would you invest in a specific programme?
Thanks Amanda for another great video. Regarding image quality, how would you rate the quality of the scans from the Epson Scan software? I couldn't really tell from the video other than the overall brightness.
I would say they are a pretty good just standard scan with cropping, but no great colour improvement or corrections unless you do that afterwards. So, a decent scan of the original. 😊
How do you know if the software is overkill for the scanner you have?
If you are using your printer scanner unless it can do 600DPI (dots per inch), it is overkill. If it can or it is a specific photo scanner, then you will be OK. 😊
Thanks, this is exactly the comparison I was looking for!
Yay! Happy to help!😊
Amanda, Thanks for an excellent review.
Always happy to Nerd out with a comparison!😊
What about he Plustex a320e? Its the only affordable scanner that's a3, but there are next to zero reviews. It was released in 2021.
I haven't used it myself but checking out the spec it looks like it could do a decent job with the ability to scan at 800 DPI. However it will only be useful for printed photos, it won't work for slides or negatives. 😊
@@amandalittlecott Ill report back, it arrives tomorrow!
@timothy790110 oooo keep me posted! Happy Scanning!😊
I still can't even work out what scanner to get! The V600 is so old I just can't see the price being justified because surely, at some point, someone will come out with a better one. And my scanned photos on my tablet all look "smudged" because the screen itself is so good!😂
And it looks like the V600 is on its way out. It is discontinued I the UK but still seems to be available worldwide. There is the V850 of you have the money. 😊
How much? you never answered
Ah I never like to say as they keep changing prices but today VueScan is £24.95 and Silverfast starts at €49.. so a bit of a money conversion is needed there!
@@amandalittlecott VueScan is $120 for Professional Edition and $50 for Standard Edition. SilverFast 9 came with my Epson 850.
@@amandalittlecott Does actually seem that to use Vuescan for photo or slide scanning, one needs to buy the Pro version (currently £99.95 UK). According to their website! It seems not to handle slides or photos in the cheaper versions. Which I guess makes Silverfast better value.
