Also, this high-resolution flatbed scanner for Mac and Windows is shipped with the software to simplify your interaction with the scanned images. Color Restoration will fix the digital copies of your old photos with color correction. The image aligning feature automatically recognizes the photo angle on the glass and aligns the scanned image the right way. Your computer uses this information to re-touch the photo where it is damaged. This technology performs analysis in the infrared range, so it senses only mechanical defects. The DIGITAL ICE technology will help you restore your time-damaged photos at least partially. It wins our Ultimate award.Epson Perfection V600 high-resolution flatbed scanner works perfectly well with the 35mm film and 6 x 22 cm medium-format film (there are 2 film holders), so you will be able to digitize old films from your collection. The Canoscan 9000F Mark II is clearly over-specified for regular office or creative work, but it’s ideal if you have lots of film to scan and you need the best possible quality. It roughly doubled the time taken to scan film, but it was quite successful at removing blemishes without softening or otherwise compromising the result. Canon’s proprietary FARE system is a tool designed to scan film but not the surface imperfections of the negative, and it uses infrared light to scan the image as well as light from the visible spectrum. Document scans were in perfect focus, while we were delighted with the degree to which subtle detail was preserved from our test negatives in one photo, faint, wispy clouds were preserved in a bright blue sky, while blades of grass could still be picked out in heavy shade. We expected good results from this scanner, but we were surprised by just how good they were. You can configure the default behaviour for six of the scanner’s seven function buttons
