Nora, Aren't these scanners the ultimate. I use Epson, their software is a jewell and so easy to use. My wife and I are about to celebrate our 50 yr. class reunion, I have been put in charge to the media thus classmates from all over the country have been sending me old photo's, yellowed newspapers, school newspapers, personal photo's of parties with our classmates, senior class cards.....you name it.
I have scanned hundreds, cropping only the one picture or article from the entire sheet. I have scanned into the thousands I am sure, every single picture from our senior class so I could print a 4x6 glossy to put into a frame that has "Memories" on the front. We all can be reminded of what we looked like 50 years ago. So much yet to do but without a great scanner and unbelievable software I couldn't get it done. I also have been subscribing to an investment newsletter from a friend of mine, I had years and years of them stacked in the barn filling many boxes, unusable for how in the world would I know what information was where? I also got an Epson business scanner, scanned all of his work. The thing is so fast it could outrun my Mac, but in no time I had every single newsletter he had ever written in digital format, listed by year, then month. Now I can go back with ease so see what he wrote about a particular company or the economy in times past. I couldn't live without these machines, I use them many times each week.
