The optical resolution of 6400dpi sounds great, but one can expect that in the best case effectively a quarter of it remains, so in the field of 35mm material this means that the resulting picture effectively has just 2-3 megapixels. you consent to your personal data being held and used by Epson for marketing purposes.

A larger size slide up to 6x12 cm can also be scanned, but the Epson Perfection V500 Photo is clearly completely meant as office device, which brings papers fastly into the computer or into the mail outbox but just occasionally to scan one or another slide or negative.

Thus it becomes clear that the scanning of slides and negatives is an additional function of the Perfection V700 Photo but not the actually intended purpose. That sounds comfortable, but is however little compared to other flatbed scanners with a transparency unit, for example the higher quality Perfection V700 Photo from the same company. Nevertheless 4 framed 35mm-slides or a 35mm-filmstrip with up to 6 pictures in the can be scanned in batch mode. And who purchases the device with the optional single sheet feeder can automatically produce series of scans in batches.įor slides and negatives a single sheet feeding brings certainly no advantage.

However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light. Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan is compatible with the Epson Perfection V500 on Windows, macOS and Linux.
