Excellent Negative & Kodachrome Scanner For Price
||Posted .I bought the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner to digitize Kodachrome slides and color and B&W film negatives. After successfully scanning over 500 film images, I am favorably impressed with the V600 - especially given the cost. The scanned images are very true to the originals. With a little practice and investigation of how the scanner captures images, I am very pleased with the outcomes. Two considerations: Learn how to best capture your particular images. Some of the features are less than intuitive, but can be easily learned. A bit of patience is handy. Understand the more images scanned and the scanned resolution will determine how long the scanning actually takes. Second, the supplied Epson photo editing software works, but I recommend shopping for a more recent photo edit software in the $50 - $100 range if you want to do a really great job of improving scanned images. Overall, I readily recommend the V600.

Travels well
||Posted .We buy these scanners to scan alignment prints for large commercial display graphics printers. This is only scanner that works for this application. We travel extensively with these scanners and they last for years. Pretty tuff in my estimation.

Good Scanner
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.It's doing a great job so far, I haven't been able to use it a lot but what I did do turned out very well. Not a big problem getting setup, I even lost the CD but downloaded what I needed and worked just fine.

Crops photos automatically!!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I'm only giving this two stars, because I've discovered it will crop the edges of photos when lined up with the edge of the glass, as you would when making a xerox copy (see pic). I dug around in the manual and it says, if this happens, to move the picture about 3 to 6 mm from each edge when scanning. I thought the idea of butting up pics and docs into the top right corner (where the arrow is) was to keep it aligned! I find this extremely annoying, and fortunately, I've had this less than a week, so it's going back a.s.a.p.

Epson Perfection V600
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I am using this scanner with MacOS 11.3,Big Sur. I had to download the drivers from the Epson support website as I knew I would. That process went smoothly and the scanner was up and running very quickly. I have scanned color slides, both Kodachrome and Ektachrome, color print negatives, and, color prints. I have been very happy with the ease of operation and scanning options available through the Epson Scan2 application. I have not downloaded or tried any of the other software utilities that are available on the Epson website.

V600 review and my experience
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The Epson V600 is great scanner for a multitude of reasons. If you need it for single document scans, you could get away with a cheaper scanner but the quality of scan in this scanner is amazing. Apart from that, it works well as a photo scanner as well if you want to digitize photo books. I personally use the V600 for film scanning and although there are better but more expensive ways to go about film scanning, it is a good way to get my foot in. The problem really only arrives in the film scanning software. As of now, Epson Scan 2 is only available for MacOS users and it greatly reduces the time for scans in higher resolutions, with Windows being my main operating system, I can only use Epson Scan 1 and I find myself waiting 15+ minutes for 12 (twelve) 35mm exposures at 6400 DPI. Other than that, this is a great scanner for anyone looking to do sharp scans of anything really. And for those using this for film scans, The Epson Scan software comes with its own negative coloring but I find that the colors usually don’t come out the way I want them, but can be fixed in whatever editing suite you prefer to use. Pictured are some of my own film scans using the V600 after color processing on Lightroom

Excellent for negative to image scanning
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Excellent product. There may be better, faster, easier out there, but for my needs, this is excellent. I wanted to scan a bunch of color negatives from the 60's, 70's and 80's to share with family digitally. Works perfect for this application. Negatives I have are 4 frames per negative, so can scan 2 sets (8 frames, 8 photos) at one time. The Epson software extracts each photo; works great. Quality is excellent as well. Just make sure you use the PREVIEW to make sure you placed the 'shiny' side down; otherwise they the photo will be washed out....

Not for artists...
||Posted .Artists be warned... If you are going to be scanning large artwork or photo this scanner is Not for you. Just bought it and scanned a piece of art a little larger that the platen. There was a darkening around the edges...after several tries. If you need to make multiple scans to recombine in Photoshop it won't work well. Very disappointed... wast of money for my needs.

Asked by Matt77.

Q: QuestionI need to scan 35mm slides and I need to know if the Epson - Perfection V600 Photo Scanner will work with Windows 10 and will future operating system drivers be supplied?
Asked by Curt.
- A:Answer The short answer is yes, but there are really two issues. First, the Epson scanner, as with almost all scanners, uses a TWAIN driver (the TWAIN driver allows the seamless acquisition of a scanned image directly into a photo editing program). The drivers were created by the TWAIN Working Group in 1992 and last updated in 2015. It's likely TWAIN drivers will continue to be supported in the future. The second issue is if the photo processing software that Epson provides with the scanner will be updated and supported in the future. I see this as a minor issue since there are so many photo editing software options including freeware such as GIMP. The official Microsoft Windows 10 End of Support date is October 13, 2020.
