This device works great on my mother's vista laptop.
But on my windows 7 computer, no go. Reads on windows 7 as ovt scanner. When I press the "scann from film" button, I get a notice says "scanner not connected"
at the svp website, they don't even list the product. They show svp fs 1000, same drivers different bundled image editor. when installing the drivers i am prompted to accept or reject the install of ovt.
Wish they had a better website, or a forum to get support.

I would have really loved to use this because i have old photos of my kid I want to move to my pc. Meanwhile you can't pry mo mother's laptop from her farmville fingers.

Plustek Opticfilm 7600I Ai Review

Plustek Opticfilm 7600I Ai
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm still at the bottom of a very steep learning curve. The good news is the Plustek scanner and the comes-with software started up and ran with minimal fuss on my old G4 Macintosh. I've been able to get a few decent, useable scans after a modicum of fussing around.
But I'm overwhelmed and intimidated by the incredible number of adjustments that can be made in SilverFast AI Studio -- the software package that takes the input from the scanner and turns it into digital files, with corrections. There are video introductions to the features of SilverFast, but that is all they are -- introductions. If you aren't familiar with the intricacies of digital image processing and color correction you are going to feel very lost.
You can find a link to a very large -- 480 page -- PDF file on the SilverFast website that purports to be a complete manual to the software. But then there is also a 48-page addendum. You can download these for free. But you can't buy a printed manual. It isn't offered in hard copy.
SilverFast isn't the only company that feels providing a PDF file is providing documentation. Far from it. But it appears they used to provide a printed manual, of course at extra cost. Not any more.
I'd pay the money to get a printed manual. Even if it is the size of a dictionary. No one yet has solved the problem of providing clear, comprehensive directions on the same screen where you are trying to work. A printed manual is still an extremely useful tool. The only downside is they are hard to keep current.
Eventually I hope to scan and archive my thousands of 35mm color negatives. It's a big job, but I can peck away at it, for years if necessary. What I'd really hate is doing all that work and finding out, towards the end, that I didn't set up my scans properly. With all the knobs, buttons and sliders the chance of lucking into the right settings is almost zero.
I'll update this review if I find a good, useable, comprehensive guide that gets me comfortable with my scanning software. Or if I don't.
I'll probably end up printing out the PDF manual, hole-punching it, and putting it in a (huge!) 3-ring binder. It would be nice if it were well-written, clearly illustrated and comprehensive, but I'm not confident it will be.
It would be even nicer if David Pogue put out a "Missing Manual" on SilverFast AI. The "Missing Manual" series is the very, very best. But I'm not holding my breath.
***************
Update April 2, 2010
I have, in fact, printed out the 480-page PDF manual. It is now in a 3-ring binder. I've been studying it, but I can't say it has helped me that much.
Mostly what I have learned is that there are a ton of features in SilverFast Ai that I don't need and will never use. I am starting to get an inkling of what I do need and can use, but what looked like a learning curve before looks more now like a learning cliff. I'm at the bottom, looking up, with no idea how to get from where I am to where I'd like to go. The manual assumes that the user has so much knowledge going in that the text is all but unintelligible. It makes it extremely difficult to figure out what is important to me and what isn't, which settings are appropriate and which aren't.
What I really need is a task-oriented guide. Something that says, if you want to archive negatives, you do this, this and this. If you want to do additional processing to your archived negatives, once you have scanned and saved them, then you have these tools available, this is what they do, and this is how to use them.
I suppose there are places I can find this information -- possibly online user forums -- but I'm going to have to hunt for them, and then see if I can figure out how to ask the right questions of the right people. And really hope someone is willing to be helpful.
It annoys me that Plustek and SilverFast don't understand that there are people like me who, as amateur photographers with lots of photographs they want to preserve -- willing to pay the money and put in the time to do so -- need just a little guidance in how to get started.
I've encountered this kind of "we're all professionals here" attitude before, primarily in the CAD world. I don't understand it. There are a hundred potential sub-professional users for every professional, and we're not stupid, or poor. We just have more basic needs. We don't have the luxury of living and breathing this stuff every hour of our working lives. A little consideration would be appreciated.
It is really very insulting that these vendors don't consider sub-professional users to be a market. How can they be so blind to such a huge potential? I don't know, but if they're like the CAD folks, they're really, really good at being blind.
I am going to try to send this review to Plustek and SilverFast. Maybe they'll take pity on me. Here's hoping.
****************
Update May 1, 2010
I really have to split this review into two parts: the hardware and the software.
I have no complaints about the hardware. The Plustek Opticfilm 7600i works and works well. I am very happy with the unit.
I have given up on the software. The SilverFast software may be a terrific toolset for the professional who is immersed in this stuff every day, all day, but for anybody else I think they'll find it is pointlessly difficult to understand and use. On top of that I received no support from SilverFast. None worth mentioning. A very form-letterish response to my email is all, not telling me anything new or useful.
Fortunately the folks at Plustek are much, much more supportive. One of their tech support people spent, frankly, far too much time talking to me, trying to get me up to speed with SilverFast. Ultimately the best advice he gave me was to try another brand of software, 'VueScan' (available at [...]). VueScan was designed to be fully-featured but 'discoverable'. That is, an intelligent person who knows what he wants to do can figure out how to do it, without learning a whole new language and a whole new way of thinking. You can start at a pretty basic level and get very good results. As you get more experienced you can dive deeper, a bit at a time, and be rewarded with more and more capability, with a good chance of success on your first try.
VueScan comes with an 'Archive' setting. That feature in itself shows someone gave thought to the needs of the poor befuddled user. The rest of the features in VueScan are in line with that level of consideration for the user. And it doesn't seem to me like there are any features missing from VueScan that are found in SilverFast. If there are, they are pretty arcane.
You can try out VueScan for free, and you can buy a limited license for US$40. But that license only lasts you a year. You are much better off buying the Professional license -- a one-time charge of US$80 with unlimited free upgrades.
VueScan comes with personal email support. I've tried it, and got a helpful response. Apparently the guy who wrote and maintains the software also answers user questions. I like that kind of customer support!
So, I've upgraded my review to 4 stars out of 5. The comes-with software is a disappointment. I'd really like to get my money back. I'll try to see if I can. But lousy comes-with software seems to be a tradition in optical products. At least there is a good alternative. The bad news -- you have to pay extra for it. The good news -- it is worth the money.

Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner Review

Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this excellent scanner after much frustration with two previous purchases which failed to perform: Canon CanoScan 4200F and the HP Scanjet 4890.
The biggest problem with scanners is not the hardware, but the software.
In the case of the CanoScan 4200F (and similar 8400 and 9950 models, which use the same software), the driver utterly fails to crop slides correctly: in the default 'auto-crop' mode, it cuts off parts of the frame but when 'auto-crop' is disabled, it fails to scan slides separately, forcing you to crop each one manually. What is worse, is that the driver does not remember your settings so you have to reconfigure every detail again, every time you scan. There are many other bugs in this driver too.
The Epson 4490, in contrast, is very sensible about cropping - it allows you to manually adjust cropping, if you like, or to disable it and simply scan each slide as a separate file, capturing the entire frame. This would seem simple enough since both the Canon and Epson scanners employ plastic slide holders to fix the position of the slides in relation to the scanner so the Epson software always knows how to reliably split multiple slides without cropping, whereas the Canon software simply gives up.
Another area where scanner software often fails is in the installation. The Epson installation procedure worked perfectly and did not even require a reboot to begin scanning. The HP 4890 installation was a complete disaster: the giant 'easy install' poster included with the scanner contradicted the installer on when to plug in the scanner: instructions explicitly said to connect the scanner prior to installing the driver, but when I actually ran the installer, it failed to connect and Windows failed to ever recognize the new hardware, even though the installer reported that I could connect the scanner later - which was not true. Even after uninstalling and re-installing and rebooting the HP driver (which took about 40 minutes), although the the scanner appeared to be recognized by Windows and was 'connected', the driver would simply hang forever when attempting to scan.
I recount this detail about the HP scanner because it is positioned very close to the Epson 4490 in terms of price and features, yet is completely unusable. In this regard, another important consideration is technical support: in the case of HP, phone support is strongly discouraged and hard to find - even if you do manage to find the phone numbers, the quality of HP support staff is abysmal, in my experience. Epson, in contrast, publishes the tech support phone numbers prominently on the instructions included with the scanner. Perhaps, Epson can more easily afford to divulge these phone numbers since products that work well require very little tech support. This made me feel quite confident with the Epson product.
Now the big payoff - scanning!
The quality of images you get is directly related to the ease of use in configuring the scanning software. Although the Epson software is not perfect, it is quite usable and powerful. It does a reasonable job of retaining configuration settings and the advanced features of 'dust removal' and 'digital ICE' image correction is very impressive.
The flaws in the software include the following.
1. The ability to 'save' settings is spotty: you cannot assign a name to saved settings; saved settings only configure half of the parameters, prior to preview - you cannot configure use of 'dust removal', 'digital ICE' etc but must manually assign these options on each scan.
2. The prefix used in assigning filenames to scanned images does not allow the valid windows filename character, '.'
3. 'Target size' parameter cannot be saved. Workaround is to use the image 'Resolution' parameter instead (resolution=2400 can be saved and is equivalent to resolution=300, target size=800%, for example).
I have only tested this scanner in scanning color slides so far.

Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED Film Scanner Review

Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED Film Scanner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, let me say I am a neophyte when it comes to scanning. My mother passed away recently and I wanted to go through my father's 20,000 slides and scan the best ones before they, as many before them, disappeared into the hands of one of my 7 other siblings never to be found again.
After culling my father's slides I ended up with about 1000 I wanted to scan. After culling my own slides I ended up with another 250 slides. Additionally, I had about 250 slides from my grandfather slides And after that I decided to go through my color negative collection and scan the best of those as well. A daunting project! But honestly well worth the effort.
Most of my father's slides are Kodachrome. Much has been written about the inability of this scanner to scan Kodachrome slides and said about ICE4 not working with Kodachrome. Well, I have some good news The ICE4 does work extremely well for the most part. However, with Kodachrome slides it does produce minor artifacts in about 5 percent of the slides.I scanned with ICE (not ICE4) always on and then rescanned if I encountered unacceptable artifacts. I did notice that the scanner ICE feature was more likely to be stumped by old Kodachrome slides where subjects were wearing shirts with stripes.
The GEM ROC and DEE (the other stalwarts of the ICE4 other than ICE itself) work on Kodachrome slides as well, but I found that the results were unpredictable and that I could achieve better results myself in Photoshop far more quickly. The GEM ROC and DEE features simply took too long and slowed down the scanning unacceptably. The results, for me, were not worth the additional scanning time. So I never used these features. But the "enhance" feature on the scanner I used nearly 100% of the time with great results - much better than the GEM ROC and DEE features.
The scanner is fast and does produce wonderful wonderful detailed scans, easily demonstrating the grain in the transparancies at 3000 and 4000 dpi. The Kodachrome slides were a challenge to the Dynamic Range of the scanner, but I believe that most of the detail in the shadows that is there was extracted. With dark slides I used the VERY useful gain feature turning it all the way up to 2 in the really dark slides. Unfortunately, Kodachrome, with all of its many attributes, does have substantial downsides including a very narrow exposure latitude and shadow detail is simply lacking. I think the scanner accurately reproduced the information including the colors on the Kodachrome slides, with perhaps a slight bluish cast noticed in some cases.
It wasn't until I was finished scanning all of the culled slides that I undertook to scan my select color negatives.And this scanner really came into its own scanning color negatives. Don't even TRY to scan color negatives without ICE because the results are unbelievably bad. Even pristine negatives have scratches and dust that magically are erased by the ICE feature. What a godsend. The scanned color negatives were just beautiful with very accurate color rendition. But immediately I noticed much more grain in the color negatives (Royal Gold and Fuji Superia Gold) than in the scanned slides.
One note unrelated to the scanner itself. Until you've used a digital scanner to scan your color negatives you can't begin to realize how far superior Kodachrome, Provia, and Ektachrome slides are to color negatives insofar as capturing detail. Even the best color negatives have much more grain that Kodachrome. And the difference in color negatives is substantial too.
The included Nikon software worked fantastic for me. I downloaded a copy of VueScan which according to many reviews is superior to the Nikon software and found that for me the Nikon software was easier to work with and produced superior results.
The software did cause my computer to crash occasionally which was an aggravation, but a minor one when considered against its many attributes.
Setup Summary: I scanned at a 8 bit color depth (to reduce file size to 55MB and because I could not see a difference between 8 and 16 bit depth in the old slides) and 4000 pixels per inch with the scan enhancer turned on and the Digital ICE turned on. I did not use GEM ROC and DEE because of inconsistent results. I turned up the gain as necessary for dark slides and turned it down for light slides. Gain adjustments were only necessary on about 15 - 20% of the slides. The only two variables that I used once I was set up and running were gain adjustment and type of film or slide. All other adjustments were made in PS IF necessary. The scan at these settings took 90 seconds. Setting up the Nikon Scan window was a little tricky too. I placed the tool palette in the far upper right corner of the window with the scan window placed under it to the right. The image window occupied the largest portion space to the left.
I can recommend this scanner without reservation. It is a phenomenal piece of equipment.

Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED Film Scanner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Nikon 9000ED scanner mostly because I could not find anything else that would scann my 2.75 x 2.75 slides. There may be other products out there but the recommendations I got was to go with the Nikon. Basically I inherited a case of these slides which feature my family from roughly 1960 to 1979. Most of the slides are badly faded, underexposed or otherwise not usable. So I figured in order to save the memories I need to spend the money to do it right.
I am not disappointed. Initially I kept getting a mysterious error in the post-processing cycle. After many emails back in forth with 3rd level support staff at Nikon (nice to be able to get support) we figured out that I was setting something called digital GEM on when that wasn't necessary. The process works on badly grained film which I didn't have. Once I changed the default scan settings by not asking for GEM corrections, all has gone beautiful for me.
The red-brown slides magically come back to me with their original colors via the digital ROC process. I'm not too technical on all the things that happen within the hardware-software process but the results an amateur like me can get are simply awsome. I scan the slides at a full 4000 bpi and store the results as huge TIFF files. I figure that disk space is cheap but at least I have the original in a best possible digitized format. The slides will continue to deteriorate but not the digiatl data.

The Coolscan V is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Coolscan 5000 which I have also owned. My immediate project included about 1500 slides from my own collection, my fathers collection, and my grandfather's collection.
Most of my father's slides are Kodachrome. Much has been written about the inability of this scanner to scan Kodachrome slides and said about ICE4 not working with Kodachrome.

The V was slower than the 5000, but honestly the difference for the non-professional scanner, to me, was not worth the additional investment. The V represents a superb value giving you nearly all of the advantages of the 5000 other than speed for a substantially cheaper price.
The included Nikon software worked fantastic for me. I downloaded a copy of VueScan which according to many reviews is superior to the Nikon software and found that for me the Nikon software was easier to work with and produced superior results.
Setup Summary: I scanned at a 16 bit color depth and 4000 pixels per inch with the scan enhancer turned on and the Digital ICE turned on.

I can recommend this scanner without reservation. It is a phenomenal piece of equipment. If speed is not a paramount consideration and you are not a professional scanner needing the options (the auto feeder) offered by the 5000 then, in my opinion, the V represents an absolutely tremendous value.
