Scanner is bundled with a variety of photo editing software. I had difficulty deciding which one was the best for me to use and didn''t have time to learn them all. I settled on Adobe Photoshop Elements---so far so good. Read more or see product

Another cool thing... Read more

And, of course, I looked at the commercial operations - not a logical approach when you've got (literally) thousands of slides that you would like to move onto disks.
