I had no problems with the scanner
Pros: Good performance
Cons: I could not find any faults
Review:
First of all, it depends on the quality of the slide you are working with. If it's good there isn't much to be done but, save
it. If it's bad, of course your going to have to do some manipulating to get
the best picture. Those people that made previous comments probably didn't have
any technical savy and probably couldn't follow instructions. They expected the
scanner to think for them. Maybe the manufacturer should have included a
package of smart pills, in their offer.
