This included the use of different models of Epson Scanners, my last is a V700 which i have been using for 4 to 5 years. I thought I would never finish scanning but I finally completed the project and I am very pleased to have ALL digitized. This included many years since I was very active in photography starting in 1952 and I have family images from many years before 1952. I have used Epson Scanning software for several (many) years and have scanned Many (Many) negatives (35mm, 2 1/4 x 2 1/4, 21/4 x 3 1/2, 4 x 5) plus many 35 mm Slides. I suppose, this will be a question for someone who is using Epson Scan software.

However, there is additional setting called Trimming On/Off, I don't understand that. So to print the 8x10 picture using 300 dpi printer, I need a Target resolution of 2400 x 3000 dpi (not ppi). There is also a Target Size dimensions, I can select by myself. size after scanning -this is a SOURCE and can't be changed through software. Its dimensions are 0.86'x1.38', displayed in Doc. I try to relate numbers to Epson Scan software. The settings mentioned in the other post would be entirely too low for printing 8 x 10. At some point later on you may want to profile the scanner to attain best results.Įxample: Scanning 35mm Film or Slides, toy will need to use 3000 for printing 8 x 10 from scanned image. Typically, 'Grain Reduction' may be required and set to 'High' for most 35mm slides. The preview can be used to determine if any other adjustments are required such as 'Unsharp Mask', 'Grain reduction', 'Color restoration', etc. Whatever editing thereafter, it is done in the photo editing software such as LR, not within Epson's software.Īfter completing a scan, you can click on 'Preview' to view the results before clicking on scan. I typically use 400 to 600 dpi for resolution. Then select 'Film' and then 'Color Negative Film'. The one I always use for scanning 35mm negatives and or slides is 'Professional Mode'. What comes up is a users guide that pretty much explains the various user setups. Is there any book available for Epson V600? My question is related to using an Epson Scan software, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Fast Stone Photo Viewer. The V600 seems to produce acceptable quality at reasonable cost. I'm going to digitize a lot of color and B/W film strips, slides and old pictures with resolution suitable to print 8x10 picture at 300 dpi. I could not find thread for photo scanners and hope to get practical advice on using the Epson V600 I just purchased.
