Отзывы о Сканер Epson Perfection V600 Photo

I've had this for over a year, and it was specifically purchased to convert slides & negatives to picture files. When it remembers it can do this, it's fantastic once you figure out which settings work for your editing software. For Adobe PSE up through version 10 on a QuadCore iMac with 4G RAM, the max DPI appears to be about 2400. Everything else is too slow due to file size or won't open, even if no other apps are running. But this resolution works out well for up to 8x10 prints, so I'm ok with it.However, what I'm NOT ok with is that every month or so, the scanner "forgets" that it can do slides and negatives at all, even after unplugging it, clearing it's cache & capacitors, and completely removing the drivers, rebooting the iMac, and reinstalling the drivers after restarting. On the iMac, this works about 10% of the time. On the PC (Windows 7, 2G RAM), it was a nightmare, and the scanner ended up going unused for almost 6 months.Epson Tech Support has been wonderful through all of this. Very responsive, courteous, and will keep with it til we get it working yet again.Because I have tens of thousands of slides & negatives to scan, this is most decidedly not a good option. If you only have a few hundred, then this is great. It's quick, reliable, has good to very good picture quality, is a great workhorse that can scan for several hours a day, day after day after day, and is relatively quiet. As an IT Pro for almost 30 years who comes from a long line of professional photographers, I have a LOT of experience with these kinds of things, and believe it should be able to stay working once it's fixed.If it remembered it can do slides & negatives ALL the time, I'd give it 8 out of 5 stars in a heartbeat! ;-)

I started initially using my all-in-one printer/copier/scanner. It was fast in scanning, but photos required lots of editing. Bought the Epson V600. It is great out of the box. I put 6 photos on bed, click preview from the home menu, then scan. It takes about 5-6 minutes for I end up with 6 jpg files in the desired folder. Digital ice fixes up the flaws automatically. Color restoration makes the photos look much better.We have also scanned color negatives as a test. It worked but the quality of the pictures was a little grainy. I plan to experiment some more to see if they can be better.We have also canned color slides. This worked great. It also took several minutes to scan several slides but it identified each one separately and stored them in the folder I designated.Paid $200, and have scanned about 600 photos this week. About an hour a night plus a little extra on weekends. I have 10 years worth of photos archived. Lots more to go. So far, the scanner has not missed a beat.

not the fastest but does a great job. if you are doing photos, color & b&w negatives, slides it does a fine job. if you are scanning documents there are auto feed scanner available that will do it much faster. it will do one document page at a time, two smaller photos at a time. it will copy 12 negatives at a time, i really have not tried many slides, i think it does 4 at a time. i have thousands of negatives and this is exactly right for the job, slow but steady. once a negative strip is scanned and image sent to the computer, the images is given an number like IMG001, IMG002 etc, so eventually you have to re-label the image so you can find it again. you can do that while the next batch of negatives are being scanned or wait and do several hundred at a time, your choice.i tried some cheaper scanners (2) and you don't get the quality, they missed or distorted images (5%) and then you had to tried an find the negatives that were messed up and that takes time. with this scanner, you do it once, it is done. i purchased this one because it stated, it would scan both color and b&w negatives, the lower priced scanners were not specific, they mentioned color but not b&w and as stated earlier i have thousands of b&w negatives. i would by another one if something happened with this one. you sometimes actually get what you pay for.

I did a lot of research before buying this scanner. If you want to save the time, this Epson was always at the top of the list for those of you who are not looking for a commercial use scanner (probably because of the cost) - but want a scanner that a commercial business would use. I used to be in the business commercially, but did not want to spend the money for scanning the photos and documents that I am now doing at home. This scanner gives me excellent quality in both photos and documents and also has a very wide selection of other capabilities: you can use it like a pro with all of those available settings or as a more simple "default" settings user. It's easy to install and use...even for a beginner. I would, however, suggest that you take some time to read the manual and play around with it so you can get the most out of it for your level of experience. You will not be disappointed. Delivery time was excellent.

I bought this to scan negatives and color slides. The slides are 2 1/4 square. It does not accomodate them directly, but its provision for 120 and 620 strip film does work. I built a mask from heavy black posterboard to close of the portions of the scanner which the back-light does not illuminate. I can scan 3 slides at a time and I can leave them mounted. I found that I had to leave about 3/8 inch of open space toward the beginning edge of the scan in order for the scanner to recognize the start of the objects to be scanned. I did a similar thing with the old large negatives I had. There are enough provisions in professional mode to accomodate color positive transparencies (slides) and black-and-white negatives. The scanner comes with jigs for 35 mm and strip film, if you have them. It did solve my scanning problem.David Wahl

My wife bought the scanner for me for a Christmas present so that I could scan hundreds of slides that we wanted to preserve. Normally I have to call tech support to get an electronic device working. However, the V600 had software that made installation on my Mac computer easy without any other help.Although the speed of scanning was a little slow, the slides were done 4 at a time. The machine had to determine how many slides were on the tray each time which slowed down the process. The quality of the digital files was excellent. I had to be careful to clean the glass periodically and brush each slide with a sable brush to avoid dust. But the results were far better than I expected. I also tried the feature where the V600 will scan a printed document and move it into a word processor. It seemed to work fine.I have scanned nearly 1000 slides and had very little problems. I would recommend the scanner--especially to someone wanting to digitize slides.

For MF and 35mm film scanning to show pictures on the web, V600 is more than enough. A few notes:1. The dust is the problem, but it would be the same with V750. IR scan works, but not 100%.2. The color is excellent with Silverfast SE. I don't know about Epson software.3. I tested the focus depth with a scale, and I find it is not shallow nor sensitive at all, so I concluded Better Scanning attachment is not needed, as many already mentioned. Included film holder can be better designed, but not unusable at all.4. I use V600 for MF and 35mm negatives at 3200 dpi. 3200 has more resolution than 1600, for sure. 4800, 6400 is useless as many says.5. Extremely slow for MF scan, reasonably fast with 35mm. I do importing and post production with LR while scanning, so no waisting time.6. I try to remove dust as much as possible before scan, but it's pain in !@#$.... To completely remove dust is impossible. I just use lens brush.7 I'm hoping Nikon start making new film scanner.

I bought this scanner to use in working on my Family Tree and was MOST pleased with how well it does. After gathering up old (some REALLY old!) family photos, I scanned them on this scanner into my computer. This scanner took the old, faded and sometime crinkled pictures and made them like NEW again! Most of the enhancements can be accomplished using the various scanner functions, and using the included Adobe Photoshop software I was able to restore them just like the professionals do. Try this and you won't be disappointed! What used to take me hours to try and fix on my own now takes just a few minutes. A truly great value at an exceptional price - this scanner is as close to a professional scanner costing well over $1,000 that you can find at this low price!

A photo put up against ANY edge inside this scanner will have something removed from the image. The only solution is to scan away from the edges which causes other problems such as getting it perfectly straight, and having extra work to do cropping each image in preview. One could use a cheap trick remedy of putting something on the glass to keep it evenly away from the edges, but nobody should have to put up with the tedious cropping - especially for several hundred pictures. (Would YOU want to have to "manually" edit some 700 images?) Which leads me to the software: The preview window is too small (can't be maximized) for me to easily get an accurate crop, even with strong reading glasses. I also would like to name the files during scanning (not just prefix them). I suppose other software may be used, though. But I got too frustrated trying different things to keep items away from the edges (painting tape, ruler, cardboard) and gave up. I predict using this scanner would more than double the amount of time it should take to complete my project.Having said that, it does at least have decent detail, also reasonable color representation which was a really big peeve of mine with other scanners. I give it 2.5 stars based on price.

I had a scanner that would scan slides, but only two at a time and the resolution was not very high. After reading reviews and comparing prices and features on a number of scanners, I decided on the Epson Perfection V600 as the price was reasonable and other reviewers gave it high marks.I am scanning slides on another computer as I write this review. I have several thousand slides dating back to Vietnam when I purchased a 35mm camera and started taking lots of pictures and this batch will bring the number I have scanned so far to just short of 900.I am extremely pleased with the quality of the scans. Following the advice of others, I am scanning at 4800 dpi as higher resolution than that takes a long time, the difference in image quality is not noticeable on a large computer monitor, and higher resolution results in each picture taking up much more memory. The process is on the slow side, however, and with this model you can only scan four slides at a time. I have three computers, so I am able to accomplish other tasks (or to read) while waiting for scans to complete.If you happen to mount the slides incorrectly in the carrier, a preview allows you to rotate or even flip them before you commit to a scan. My slides greatly outnumber negatives, but I tried scanning both color and black and white negatives just to see how the process works. You clip the negatives into a plastic frame, and are allowed to preview the results before committing the scanned images to memory. The best part about this is that the software shows you what the final image looks like - positive and in full color or black and white.I have not tried working with the Photoshop trial software that comes with the scanner. One reason is that I consider myself a semi-professional photographer and I long ago tossed any slides that were marginal. Once I start on the negatives, I may try the software.I am happy with the ease of use, and the fact that you can preview images after just a few seconds before you decide to save them. The major drawback for slides is that you can only scan four at a time. For those of you that have mostly negatives, you are able to scan two strips (12 frames) at a time. I give this product four stars.

I bought this scanner as a replacement for a different Epson scanner that broke after 2 years. Unpacked it and installed it. Software installation went fine. The software has changed little since my last scanner and I liked the flexibility of the software. I did a regular scan and the results were fine. I turned on Digital ICE and the resultant scan had a thin red stripe on the right side from top to bottom. I scanned 4 more times with 4 different prints with Digital ICE, all with the same red stripe. I figured rather than immediately returning it, I should contact Epson support.I told them the problem and there response was to ask if I was scanning slides, negatives or prints. I told them prints.Their second response was to ask what happens when I scan negatives. I was a bit impatient that this point, telling them I don't have any negatives and am unlikely to get any, and could we focus on the problem with prints.Their third response was to tell me to try other prints, this might be a software issue, and that I should try to scan a negative.It seemed like this was going nowhere. They did not listen to me say I had no negatives or than I scanned 5 different pictures. And they seemed unable to ask more than one question at a time. I gave up and returned the printer. I will be giving the Canon scanner a try.

Purchased my first V600 and after about six months of use my 35mm slide scans began to show a thin bluish green line running from top to bottom in the same place on every slide. Appeared to be a dead pixel in the scanning head and was particularly visible against and continuous background such as a blue sky. After much back and forth with Epson customer service they agreed to replace my unit with a 'remanufactured' one. Replacement unit worked fine and I have used it extensively for over a year now for both slides and prints. However today the dreaded green stripe once again appeared, this time wider in the form of two adjacent lines running top to bottom on every slide scan. Decided not to argue further with Epson since the unit is out of warranty and I did get quite a bit of use out of it. Instead I ordered a CanoScan 9000F as a replacement.

I am very pleased with the performance of the scanner after I discovered how to set it up. I am using the automatic mode and like that it recognizes the separate photos and puts them in separate files.Initially, I was disappointed with the color matching, but setting the color restore setting corrected that. I was originally using a slide/negative scanner, but I discovered that many of the negatives were not in very good shape (lots of scratches). It was also taking quite a lot of time. Since I had access to all the printed photos, I decided that copying the photos was the best way to go (and it decreased the amount of time to scan an album by a considerable amount).

I purchased this scanner primarily for its film and slide capabilities, and it has exceeded my expectations. Starting at the beginning. . .setup was effortless. I installed it on a name brand PC with a Pentium 4 processor, 1 gig of ram, running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Installation and operation have been flawless with this OS and hardware configuration. Next point . . . speed. I have never been able to do high resolution scans at this speed; this machine is fast. I have another scanner (different brand)that is nearly brand new, but drastically slower than this little Epson. The V600 Perfection can do high dpi scans in a fraction of the time compared to my other scanner. With my processor and memory configuration the V600 has been able to do 4 instamatic slides at 6400 DPI in about 10-12 minutes. And there is definitely an improvement in output with 6400 as opposed to 3200 resolution. But . . .resolution alone does not tell the whole story either. The output from this scanner has a visual "presence" that must be seen to be fully appreciated. I have also scanned a lot of really old 120 (620) negatives (some in excess of 90 years old). The results have been nothing short of stunning. So much for the hardware. Now to the software . . .I have primarily used the Epson scanner software without doing any "enhancement" commands. On a few occasions I have done "color correction." "Unsharp mask" has been used once or twice and "backlight correction" has been used a time or two. When I have decided to do software correction the results have been good. The color correction command has been very accurate on 40 year old color slides. So much so, that I have not needed to do any other restoration. Finally, some folks have commented on Digital Ice. I have used it sparingly, mostly for creased and torn snapshots. In one particular case, a 70 year old snapshot was creased and torn---some might say "badly mangled." The ICE result was very good, though I decided to use Photoship to finish the restoration. However, the crease and tear correction done by ICE saved me a lot of time and effort in Photoshop Elements. Bottom line . . . I can't believe this scanner was so reasonably priced. Comparing output, software quality and ease of use, the Epson V600 is THE BEST scanner I have ever owned or used (and this is the 5th scanner I have owned over the years). The Epson V600 Perfection's ability to scan old negatives and slides is unbelievably good. The learning curve was relatively rapid---though it takes a few days and some practice scans to fully learn the capabilities of this fantastic machine and software.August 31, 2011: The Epson Perfection 600 works superbly with an i7 processor in the Windows 7 64 bit environment. Huge (high pixel) scans take very little time, and continue to be beautiful, both in color and black and white. After four months and several hundred negative and slide scans, I remain totally impressed with the quality of this machine.

Mine was accidentally pushed off the table and landed on its wires, on padded carpet. Regretfully, it is toast. Repair appears to be impossible so those scans are basically very expensive scans.Since it has little mass and the feet do not hold the unit on many surfaces well, care should be taken as it will move easily.However, while it lasted, this scanner was exceptionally good! It scanned photographs, film, negatives, slides and a variety of printed materials including pictures in books at up to several thousand pixels per inch. It did a great job! I was able to enlarge many photographs with clarity beyond those of other scanners.

Purchased this scanner primarily to capture older medium format slides before color fades much more. It did not come with a slide mask designed especially for these 2.25x2.25 size slides (120 film size) but the film holder worked fine by just popping off the top. Slides lay in the slot fine without having to remove cardboard frame. It will hold 3 easily that way. Scan rate is very acceptable. Quality is very good. color correction, dust removal, and other options are easy to use and work well. I had asked Epson about the slide holder and they said I had to upgrade to a $900 model to do that. Not so. Standard 2x2 (35mm) slides area simple with supplied mask and photos scan and reproduce well.I am well pleaseed so far!

I inherited hundreds of family pictures and didn't know what to do with all of them. Some were in terrible condition and others are very nice. Some were tintypes dating to the mid 1800's, some were taken using processes that are no longer used from the early 1900's and others were modern pictures. This scanner made the job so much easier. I've scanned over 1000 pictures and documents and am very, very happy with the results and the production time. I can scan up to six or seven smaller pictures at the same time and three or four larger pictures at the same time. It is absolutely great. I am a complete dunce about computer related things and this scanner made the job very doable. I've taken the scans and made them into commercially produced photo books and it all went well. If you are like me and don't know the first thing about scanning, this is a good buy. I haven't tried the slide scanner yet.

This was purchased for an older gentleman who has little tech experience. He was able to easily follow the directions, run the software and plug the scanner in with no difficulty. He is scanning through the Photoshop program on his computer, and once I showed him where to find the scan command, he was able to scan, do the simple edits he knows how to do, and print out a great photo.The interface is fairly automated, though thankfully, more advanced details are available if you want them. You can scan numerous photos/objects and as long as the scanner discerns a demarcation of some kind between them, it will scan them all, then bring them up individually as separate scans, which is very nice. This feature worked about 98% of the time. Occasionally if we put too many photo overlapping, the scanner would scan them together.I did scan a few objects, including some photos still in frames and it did a great job.Very nice scanner for the price, the gentleman we bought it for is very happy with it.

This is a wonderful scanner for use with printed material. Certainly, you get what you pay for, and higher end uses would be more suited for a machine with more capability. However, I use it for scanning paper and materials for textures to use in photos. For this, the scanner works well, giving at least some depth to the scan (unlike an all-in-one scanner/printer combo). It seems pretty sturdy, and arrived well-packaged. So far, no issues. The only gripe I have is that it still ships with an ancient Adobe Elements program -- don't know why they even bother, when that program in a later version is often deeply discounted if you shop carefully.

I have a an Imac. If you have one you love it but have noticed there are still problems with software not working with a mac. I worried there would be a problem with this scanner....not so. What a relief to push the button and it happens....have only had it a couple weeks but so far ....I love it... (I have a hp 4780 all in one printer which will barely print for me...will not operate wireless will not scan at all since i downloaded software updates.... and thats why I had to purchase a separate unit to scan with)

After reading all of the glowing reviews I decided to buy the V600 because I have thousands of 35mm slides to digitize. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the scan quality isn't very good (I tried Auto, Home and Professional settings). My scans are very soft (am using Unsharp Mask and no Digital Ice) or pixellated when enlarged. The slides themselves are sharp when projected onto a screen so the problem isn't with the slides. I called Epson support and the rep wasn't helpful at all since he didn't know the difference between positive and negative film. If I can't figure this out the scanner will have to be returned because it's not giving me what I need.

I had researched many, many scanners before buying. This scanner lives up to its advertising. I scan directly into my Adobe Photo Shop Elements program, and can edit there very easily. Still learning and experimenting, but happy so far. I just scanned very old negatives, and because of their size, I scanned them directly on the bed without using the plates provided. The negatives scanned fine although the quality was not terrific (but I blame that on the age of the negatives, the camera used, and the person doing the photography). Would highly recommend this scanner.

The V500 stopped working right after warranty expired, so didn't want to revisit that model again. As usual Amazon was right on time with delivery. V600 model is virutally the same as V500 only more expensive and I am hopeful longer lasting. It seems to be slightly faster in reflective scans and about the same in film scans. I understand it uses less energy in standby and that's good. Every scan is as fine as I need. The good part is that both the V500 and V600 use the same film holders which means I can load one while the other is in use. Fingers crossed on longevity of unit.

I need to revise and correct the mixed review I gave of this scanner a few hours ago. I reported that, although it produces outstanding images, is easy to use, and is reasonably priced, I ran into a problem. After the first 50 or so slides I scanned, a thin blue, vertical line started appearing on every image, extending from the top to bottom. I assumed there was a technical problem, which made me question its reliability.I went to Epson's website, and found that the problem could be solved very simply: by cleaning both upper and lower scanning surfaces!I now give this scanner a well-deserved 5-star rating. I am very happy with the results I am getting.
