For color photos this unit is great. It's fast, easy to use, portable. Software has very basic controls for adjusting image quality.
One big caveat, it does NOT work on old, glossy, black and white photos. Hard to explain the effect but the image itself is only black and white with no grayscale so everything is washed out. Having to use an old, slow, flatbed scanner for these.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Pretty good value for what it offers.
All things considered, I could not ask for a better scanner. It was inexpensive, portable, plenty fast and just works. Note: outside of scanning the text on the back of pictures and stitching it to the front, I have not done any text scanning. The stitching option is wonderful.
The only 3 issues that I have (I tried to explain my work arounds) and I consider them minor are :
1. You sometimes have to reorient dark photos or use a light background slightly larger than the photo or the scanner will crop out the dark parts. This is understandable since the rollers are black.
2. Very thin high gloss photos have to have constant pressure in and out (manual by pushing and pulling the photo) or the rollers will slip on the picture. Thicker, high gloss photos don't do this.
3. The app needs some work as it appears to be outdated. Won't do some of the features on larger files as it will crash and close. Work around save the file as is and do what you need to do thru a Microsoft or whatever photo editing app. This only happens on really large pictures.
I did not have any problems with gray scale or color scanning at the max 1200BPI (once I figured out the app).
