Rating: - Good idea, but crappy results
The idea of a device to let you create digital versions of old photos is great; however, this unit falls short in execution. The resulting digital photos are of very poor quality compared to the original prints; a scan of the photo on my cheap all-in-one printer creates a much better digital image. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, the images created include the plastic frame used to hold the photos in the device--cropping that out probably negates any time you might save by using this. ...

First off, I did not actually use this product. Not that I didn't try... But when it says will work with Windows XP/Vista, it actually means, will ONLY work with WINDOWS.

Stay away from this item unless you are a computer technician to use your equipment.
After installing drivers and program and using the Manual installing the Unit on my Windows Vista OS it froze up. Same problem on my Windows XP OS.
Had to call for help. Was then told to disable the Viris protection and disconnect my wireless Computer from the Net so the unit would work.
Nowhere in the description of your equipment, advertisement

First off, let me say I am flatbed scanner impaired. I simply cannot seem to scan a bed of photo's without getting fingerprints, dust and pet hair on the bed. I spend more time cleaning the bed then scanning. Then, after I finally get a decent scan free of those things, spending more time separating and rotating the images drives me nuts. I looked at scanning old photo's as a chore that I hated. So, when I saw this, I was as excited as a kid on Christmas eve, this was the answer to my prayers!

I have boxes and boxes of photographs, and I've had the intention of trying to organize them into photo albums/scrapbooks. The only problem with scrapbooking is that it's so time consuming, and pictures have to be sized and framed manually if they're not digital. I started to research services that you send your prints to for scanning and converting. You ship to them, and they,in turn, ship them to places like India and Costa Rica, to name a few, for processing, at a range of about $.19 to $.29 per ... Read More
