The first scan I did matched the original exactly (as far as I could tell). It was easy to set-up and quick to scan. I really like the transparency adapter that comes with it. If you use large format slides or negatives, this scans 5" by 5" which really comes in handy. Not to mention the bundled software, you get a really good package. I recommend this for anyone who needs to scan images for catalogs, newletters, web pages, etc. 33 of 33 people found the following review helpful. An Improved Scanning Experience By Bob Glaser I recently purchased a new computer with this scanner as part of the package. I had fought with scanners before and was generally dissapointed with the results. After a couple of months with this product I have become much more comfortable with with with scanning, either graphics or documents. The support program is excellent. You are able scan directly into the appropriate program. While the negative and transparentcy takes some getting used to, it works efficently. Scans are crisp and have plenty of definition. I have worked the with the the scanner in both Photoshop 4.0 and WordPerfect 8 with excellent results. I work with documents for a living and graphics for a hobby and look forward to many hours of enjoyment with this piece of hardware. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. good product, easy installation but takes lots of disk space By Kyle Jones Installation of this scanner was a breeze under Windows 98 and I was scanning stuff in no time. I use this scanner for photographs and I am satisfied with the scans I'm getting. The one big surprise was the space required for the applications that come with the scanner--- four hundred and fifteen (415) megabytes! Disks are cheap and voluminous these days so this isn't really a big deal, but it may catch some folks who are strapped for disk space by surprise. Fair warning. See all 9 customer reviews...
