To ensure image detail and smooth color gradients, the V500 has a maximum optical resolution of 6,400 dpi for film and 4,800 dpi for reflective copy at 48 bits. These features increase scan times but save time back in your imaging application. Two powerful features are especially impressive: Digital ICE to remove dust and scratches from film and Easy Photo Fix technology to remove dust and magically restore color to faded photographs. The three levels share some common features but the professional level provides the most options for image correction. The interface has three levels of sophistication for the beginner, intermediate, or professional. It can be used as a standalone desktop application or accessed through third-party imaging applications, such as Photoshop.

The Epson scan driver is easy to use and quite good. The lid can also be removed or raised to accommodate scanning 3D objects. When raised, the lid locks in place, freeing your hands to arrange documents. The glass document bed measures 8.5×11.7″. The film holders are anchored for exact alignment with the lid’s built-in light source. With USB 2 connectivity, the V500 scans both reflective copy and film from 35mm through medium format. This is the first Epson scanner to use the faster LED (light-emitting diode) as its light source, eliminating the conventional warm-up time. I a lso have a Microtec flatbed/film scanner that cost $650.00 back in 1998, and this one compares with the Microtec, but runs on a USB connection rather than the SCSI connection.The Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner does a reassuringly professional job of archiving valuable documents that people cherish and try to save when natural catastrophes hit. Most scanners in this lower price-range use reflected light to scan slides and negs, which results in terrible scans. However, the new one scans film and transparencies utilizing a light head in the cover, which is the correct way to do it. The old scanner is an 8½"x14" flatbed and this one is 8½"x11". This scanner replaced an HP scanner I bought in 1995, and the only reason I replaced it is because my new computer won't accept the SCSI card to run that scanner, running Win-Vista Premier 64-bit. The only reason I gave it a 'GOOD' rating rather than an 'Excellent' one, is that the slide and film holders are really quite flimsy, and I have looked to buy a replacement for the and can't find them anywhere, even on the Epson website!

Read full reviewĮpson Perfection V500 PHOTO Flatbed Scanner I could have done a better job removing dust, but otherwise they are very similar. I'm uploading a shot professionally edited and scanned by a film lab, and my own edited shot scanned on this scanner. Colors don't come out particularly vivid, but images 'straight out of the camera' usually need to be edited anyway.

It automatically crops images, and though I haven't found out how to turn this off, I'm pretty happy with the job it does. At a decent resolution and using digital ICE (which doubles scan times) it took about 15 minutes to scan around 8 frames. It's not particularly fast, but it's not too slow either. I use it on an older version of MacOS and the only issue is I have to jiggle the mouse between frames or it stops scanning.

The software impressed me, there's no bloat and even though this scanner came out in 2007 there's a version for Windows 11 and MacOS 10.15. It seems to be the same part as the V600.Ī nice little scanner that can do either documents or camera film. I 3D printed some but I think you can find them pretty easily online. Note: If you're using this for film (I am) you need the film holders that shipped with it originally. Make sure you have the plastic film holders!
