Create a digital file of a document where speed and ease of use are more important than image quality.There are two ways a scanning system can prioritize digitizing images: The big benefit to using the V850 is transparencies and slides.

However, from the perspective of documents and prints, the results will be similar to the V600 or V750.

NOTE: For the purpose of this review, I will work exclusively with the Epson V850. That question became the foundation of this review. I’ve used Epson Scan 2 software for years, but wondered if there was something better. My trusty Epson V600 scanner needed help and I ultimately purchased the V850 because it can scan up to 12 slides in a batch.īut, with the new hardware came the opportunity to select new software. Recently, I inherited packing boxes filled with old photographs and, literally, thousands of slides. ( Read it here.) This week, I want to look at the software side of the process. Last week, I reviewed the Epson Perfection V600 Photo and Perfection V850 Pro scanners. This requires two principal components: hardware (the scanner) and software (the instructions on how to make it work). The purpose of scanning software is to digitize paper documents, photographs and transparencies into high-quality image files. And we need these images to be the highest quality possible, with the least amount of dust, dirt or scratches, even when the originals are not in very good shape. We scan at a wide range of resolutions so we can create animated moves. As filmmakers and media creators we continually need to convert still images, documents, slides and photographs into digital format.
