Does this work with really old photos etc, including scallop edges? Do they rip? Also, can you save as .TIF vs JPG? What is the max file size? Thx

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

As long as pictures are flat there is no problem. I didn't have any ripping on any old or new phones with straight or scallop edged. It automatically saves as JPG at good resolution. I am very glad I purchased this item and used it for scanning hundreds of images.

My dad has done well over 1000 photos from about every type of photo format from the 50 ' s to current day including a lot of slides with it and while some of the pictures will have trouble going through the machine's head it doesn't damage the original it just blurs the digital image. I'm not sure of the file format or size but we did put the pics he made wroth this up on a 55 inch television during Christmas dinner and the resolution was fantastic we even scanned some of my great uncle's letters from WWII abs blowing up the images made the fine script easy to read! Very very cool

I assume you mean a print image. Haven't done that. Can't tell you for certain. However, it will create a 7200 dpi image and creates very large .tiff files. If I recall they're around 20M+.

Unless you are planning to print poster-size photos it is completely useless to go for more than 10MPix (it can still make sense with a limited optical zoom as it allows more "numerical zoom" that consists in cropping the photos to remove the areas surrounding the subject, but with a 20x zoom...). It is even worse than useless: the photos will take a lot more room in your hard drive (and they will also have more electronic noise).

Hi Itaya, thanks for your response. I've always known that this program can do much more than I've ever asked for ;-). I don't work with different layers, and the marvellous 9999pixels are just theoretical, as you can set this number before the final storage.I have tested it with just 1200pixels and ended up with 23,4MB. While storing this enormous image I noticed, that you CAN choose between several formates i.e. jpg., bmp., png. and tiff. I've never needed them before, but now the both of us know better ... Let's enjoy the exploration of this program which turns out to be a real horn of plenty! Hi Itaya, thanks for your response.

The FastStone free image viewer can view the RAF files and work on them. I believe that Stoik Imagic 5.0 (there is also a free version) can view and work on the Fuji RAW, too.

Hi!! I am wanting to know when you received your answer to your question about whether you can use these for storing and viewing pictures if it worked for you? I too, wish to use these to transfer all pics to each one and want to make sure I will be able til do that with no problems. So, my main question. Is: once I have saved my pics to this device, will my family be able to copy the pics I put on there to tbeir computers.. I a m hoping that you purchased these, and if the party who answered your question right. I really hate to spend the money if they on my burn music, you know? Thank you in advance. Steph Hi!!

They do not go into the computer as negatives but actual digital pictures ready to print or save. It can also do the same for negatives. I have completed over 1000 slides and negatives of old family outing etc with no problem. Only prob is you can only do 4 at a time, but well worth it.

Well, I upgraded to PSE 6.0 from PSE 5.0 a few months ago, really without thinking about it. I just wanted the latest software. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few problems relating to the uploading of RAW files, i.e., the program doesn't seem to be able to handle them. After I've uploaded them from the built-in card reader in my PC (running Windows XP), the thumbnails in the Organizer appear as "broken links" and usually the program crashes shortly thereafter. I've seen complaints about this on various forums but Adobe seems apparently unable or unwilling to do anything about it at this point. It does seem to be limited to this one feature (i.e., uploading .CR2 files) but that is a drag because that is the format I usually shoot in. Otherwise, it's a terrific program. It certainly has lots of great features. But I'm spending too much time trying to keep it running. I should have stuck with PSE 5.0 until Adobe came out with some fixes for this.

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

My black and white negatives were pretty big when converted. I used Windows photo manager (edit button gives you several options for improving your pictures) to compress the file size. Worked great for me!

I've done that for pictures and it worked fine with Paint Shop Photo Pro program that I use. I haven't tried it on text or with my publisher though I have used a 0.2 border with these programs. On the photo prints I didn't have an issue, but the program has an option for edge less print.

I had to have a picture program. It is worth trying anyway, but if you have trouble, the program I used is Picasa, which can be down loaded for free.

yes you can. I always save my photo's as jpeg and also as a tiff . Esp if they are small or special ones I want to keep. JPEG's randomly loose pic. as you move them around. Tiffs are always the same. They are larger though but space is cheap/
