So far I have used it to scan slides, 35mm negatives and prints. It comes with all the necessary accessories to scan strips of 35mm negatives (you can scan up to 10 at once if you are lucky enough to have them cut into strips of 5 4 is more common so you will usually be scanning 8 at a time) 35mm slides in their frames and medium format negatives. This is an excellent quality scanner if you want one that can double as a standard flatbed scanner and a negative/slide scanner. This will do the job, but it's not exactly brilliant. I guess if you want something that is seriously good you need to spend much more.

#EPSON PERFECTION V500 V600 SOFTWARE#

You can crop the scan before scanning, which is useful, but I found the other functions were pretty hit and miss.The software often doesn't start or gives you a message saying that the scanner is not recognised or isn't switched on.All in all this is not a very slick device. You have to edit the picture in photoshop after the event if you want to do anything worthwhile. The preview scan is too small to see what you are doing. Again this was pretty much at random.The supplied EpsonScan programme is easier enough to use, but I wasn't impressed with some of the editing facilities. (See attached) The exposure was pretty erratic, some negatives coming out very dark, others over-exposed. This seems to be a particular problem with the plastic mounted Agfa slides cardboard mounted Kodachrome seems to fair better.With black and white negatives I discovered that 2 negatives from a strip were displaying a band of lines right across the finished photo.

Scanning a box of 36 slides is a couple of hours work.Quite unaccountably the scanner does not always scan the full frame, often cropping it quite drastically. About 5 or 6 minutes is a typical time for a single slide at high resolution. Flimsy bits of plastic that don't hold the film or slides very precisely.You can only scan 4 mounted slides at a time, or 2 strips of 6 negatives.Processing time is very slow.

The scanner is a little sleeker than the 3200 but it is still a large, heavy machine, curiously clumsy in its operation.The film carriers are very low tech. I bought this to replace my Epson Perfection (lol) 3200.I was hoping that a new machine, plus new software might produce better results primarily when copying slides and black and white negatives.There is no doubt that it can produce good results and is an improvement on the earlier model, but it is a very slow and erratic process.This is not high tech.

Drivers for Mac OS X 10.6 or later will also usually work on Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra).Įpson sold this scanner in some countries as the GT-X770.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2017 Note that Epson drivers for Windows Vista or later will usually work on Windows 10.

#EPSON PERFECTION V500 V600 INSTALL#

You need to install the Epson driver to use this scanner on Linux. On Mac OS X, this is normally already installed by Software Update, so VueScan should just work. You need to install the Epson driver to use this scanner on Windows and macOS.

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.
