The Ambir photo scanner and PictureStudio is a single photo scanner that can scan 300 and 600 dpi in to Jpeg, Bmp, Png. Plus you are able to create searchable folders.
It has a small footprint so its good for those who don’t have a lot of space to start with. Build quality and feel is good.
PROS:
Makes backing up easy from 4x6, 5x7, 8x10.
PictureStudio allows from some extremely basic adjustments.
Searchable folders and tags on photos are a nice feature.
Able to make slideshows with effects
You can upload straight to email, or multiple storage sites.
CONS:
Pictures scan in Dark and over saturated, had to turn off auto enhance (on by default)
Black and white photos scan in pixelated at 300 and 600 dpi.
During setup unit kept pulling calibration card in sideways.
Pictures tend to get pulled in sideways while auto feed is on, once off it was a little better.
Picture quality not great at either 300 or 600DPI.
Skin tones way off, most appear oversaturated even after using software to enhance.
This unit, as I have said offers good backup potential, but don’t expect apples to apples scans. The software is very basic. You might be able to do better adjusting it a professional phot software, but that defeats the all in one purpose.
You can only scan one pic at a time and have to use kid gloves with each photo so as to not get it crooked and have a bad scan. There are no guides to set pictures up for the scan feed just some marks on the scanner to set the picture. There should have been physical guides to ensure perfect feed and scan.
This unit has potential but this model falls short of a great scanner, there are too many issues for me to give it a great review. Is it nice? kind of, but a major factor for me is the quality of the scan.
I cannot recommend this model to friends and family.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The best way to preserve and organize old pics!

This photo scanner helped me take boxes and boxes of old photos and organize them in a way I didn't think was possible. I have seen other photo scanners that just save photos with file name, dump them on your hard drive.... and that is it. The Ambir scanner came with software to help sort, label, tag people in the photo and much more. The best comparison I can make is that the things you can do with your pics on your cell phone can now be done with your old boxes of photos. Finally, a product that make it worth spending the time to preserve these old pics/memories!

Great tool for preserving and sharing old photos with entire family. Allowed me to take boxes and books of old family photos, save, sort and share them with my family.
