I just got the Epson V500 scanner as my wife needs to scan some of her parents'
wedding album for a slideshow. Nice excuse, and for $149 on Amazon I couldn't
pass it up.
Peeking at the box right now, I see that the glass scanning surface is indented
a bit into the scanner.

You have two options and, depending upon the album pages you have,
maybe the first one won't work.
The photographs got into the album pages somehow. Usually they just
slide in from one side of the mat. I'd remove the images from the

you can scan anything with this scanner. you can use photomerge in
photoshop to stitch pieces of things together. if you need a flat
plane for some reason, cut a 1/8 piece of plexiglass or glass to
8.5x11 roughly and place it over the scanner's glass. then I just tape
up the sides to give a smooth
K20D. I've used various lenses depending

Find a south facing window.
Set the picture on a stand, chair, etc. at right angles to the window.

Set-up the camera on a tripod.
Angle the picture up and the camera down so picture and camera back

I've scanned large photos on the V500 and other scanners. I just bend them a
bit and put a shim on the side that's up on the edge, so it lays flat against
the glass when I push the cover down against it. Then I scan both sides of the
image and comp it together. It just takes minutes, and the

I like it very much. Been fooling around, relearning how to scan negs.
It's been nearly 10 years since I've scanned for myself.
I've made a couple scans at 3200 dpi and the results are good enough

Thanks for point that out. I was wondering how he was getting away
