I did use the auto enhancement setting so that I would get a duplicate, enhanced version of any photos that started out sub-standard. I was scanning old snapshots at 300 dpi, so it’s a bit hard to evaluate the quality of the scanned photos. I had originally posted a video of the process to show the speed of scanning but have removed it so as not to be demonstrating improper insertion of the photos. When I scanned the photos, I inserted them improperly and risked scratching. Photos should also be inserted in a landscape orientation. Inserting photos face down might result in scratching. Please note that the photos should be inserted face up, so that they the rollers do not come in contact with the photo. Once I got past the idea that I needed to name every photo (again, see my previous blog post), the process went quickly.

If you finish a batch and later find photos that belong in that folder, it’s easy to just make the same selections and they’ll be added to the folder. Here’s a photo of the screen where you make those selections: The description becomes the folder name and the year, month and description, followed by a number become the file names for each photo in the batch, which are numbered sequentially.

The software is set up so that you can assign a year (or a decade), a month (or a season), and a description to each batch. As I explained in my previous post, I went through my photos and grouped them into categories that made sense to me. The scanner has software that allows for easy organization of the digital photos, assuming you’ve already taken the time to organize the prints. The scanner does come with a carrier sheet for more delicate photos, though I didn’t try it. Based on my experience, though, I think I’d be comfortable putting old photos in the sheet feeder, as long as they weren’t crumbly or torn.

The photos I was scanning were relatively new and were not fragile, so I had no hesitation to put them in the sheet feeder. It’s a sheet-fed scanner (like a fax machine), so it handles prints only. I’ve now scanned hundreds of photos with this handy little scanner. The project was prompted by the discovery of a cache of photos in a closet and given a little urgency by the offer of a loan of an Epson FastFoto FF-680W photo scanner in exchange for a review. As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I’ve been organizing and scanning my photos from the 80s and 90s, primarily.
