But you have to get the film out of the cartridge, so you have to open it. So If you have a scanner that can scan negatives, you can scan APS films yourself.
So I suggest that if you only want to digitise photos (prints), just buy one of the two scanners mentioned above and invest some time in learning the essentials about marmotĪn APS film is nothing more than a roll of negative film. Scanning software also plays an important role. It definitely pays to be familiar with things like monitor calibration, resolution, colour theory, file formats, etc. So I would say that a good scanner is only part of the story. I digitise photos, slides and negatives professionally. Generally digitising of images depends very much on your own expectations of the quality of the scans, the intended quantity and the subsequent use. Scanning slides is a different story (you have to invest more money and quality can be quite different). They are pretty good scanners if you just want to scan photos (prints). Phil T also posted the PCMag review of photo scanners, of which I can recommend the Canon LIDE 400 and the Epson Perfection V39. People have already given a lot of good advice, so there is not much to ad.
You would need to work out which suits your needs best. We are also using this to scan all our old documents that have been lingering in the drawers. Best of all, it can scan both sides at once so if you have recorded who/what/where on the backs of photos, that is also saved to jpg file. This is a screamer scanning at up to one photo per second using a ‘document’ feeder. It is possible to select very high resolution scans and the software can do scratch and colour correction automatically.Ī couple of years ago we got another Epson, the FastFoto FF-680W. This is suitable for doing single pages of books, and photo albums etc. One pass of the scanner would scan all the images which are then separated into individual files.
(Newer and more capable versions are available I think.) It came with a variety of various sized plastic frames to hold multiple photo prints or slides at the same time. These are available now for between $500-$550. Many years ago we purchased an Epson V600 (I think) Perfection Pro flatbed scanner which was the best at the time. Dedicated scanners can deal with volume.Įpson has in my opinion long held the mantle of best dedicated scanner. MFPs only allow scanning one page or image at a time. While we have a MFP, we use dedicated scanners due to the volume we need to get through. We are digitising our vast collection of photographic prints, boxes of slides, and drawers of documents.
