Is this good to scan old photos in photo books? The photos are scrapbooked, and different shapes, and can not be removed from the books.

Yes, this scanner makes it easy to scan such things from books. However, remember the highest resolution you get is 600DPI. If that's adequate then you'd love the portability of this device.

Yes should't be a problem. You will probably have to crop the scanned copy late though

If you can get the scanner flat on the surface of each picture you should be ok. If the picture is wedged close to the spine of the book you won't be able to get the scanner to see all of it.

we have used the scanner to copy old photos to file and print, and it works fine. we have not tried to copy photos in a book. you will have some trouble if you cannot flatten the pages for the scanning process.

If you can lay the book flat it should work. If the photos are covered with a plastic sheet you might get a reflection. I have used it a lot for old photos that were not in a book and the quality was excellent, however I was able to lay my photographs flat on a table.

Scanning it vertically from top to bottom or horizontally from left to right and vice versa would sacrifice an inch on the four sides of the page depending where you are scanning. So if your scrapbook has a margin lines of more than 1 inches on the 4 sides it is safe to assume the scanner would be able to cove all the contents. It would be great if your scrapbook can be removed because no portion of the page would be sacrifice. everything would be covered.

Yes. I use them for family antique photos. I place the photo in the sleeve and usehindge tape to place them in scrap books. Many of the old photos have writing on the back and this way people can flip them over and see the writing without actully toucking the photos.

Yes it will hold these photos. Some older photos may be an odd size, so keep your scissors handy.

Yes. It does a good KOB scanning documents for reprint or to email. I'm not sure about photos as I haven't ever tried to scan and reprint those.

Yes. The cover is removable so that pages in books may be more easily scanned. The only limit is the size of the picture being scanned if the objective is to capture the image in a single scan.

No - unfortunately, which was really my only complaint. My old scanner would pre-scan several photos at the same time then select just one at a time to scan. This one won't let you. If you scan multi photos at once you have to crop the scan into single photos on the back end which reduces the file sizes for the individual photos.

Patricia, thanks for the tutorial. I bookmarked it in case I need help when the scanner arrives. I have PSP also, so I expect things to go smoothly. I'm really looking forward to preserving and sharing my family's old photos, many 50 years and older!

Yes it is. I have only used it to scan old photos and have had no problems. I know this machine can do so much more.

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.

No, not good for photo's. Image quality is poor in regular mode. Average in better image quality mode. Also, scan time is slow. It's okay for home use but not in a commercial setting.

yes it suffice for what i needed it for. if you are looking for a high resolution, this is not it. its great for scrap books.

I just tried importing with Doxie docs and pics scanned from other devices. It would not do this task. Doxie gave me the error message that these items were not scanned by Doxie. This is a great scanner but will not do what yu ask. I would contact Doxie to see if there is a workaround.

Yeah this will do the trick! Each page is a full page, there aren't separate photo pockets/sections within each page. I would call it a scrapbook rather than a photo album. I actually used it for the purpose you are looking to use it for :)

Yes, one can scan multiple photos at once, provided they all fit on the platen (the glass area under the cover) without overlapping (unless, of course, overlapping images is something that's wanted). Some kind of image editing tool will be needed later, in order to pull the pictures apart into separate files (which is what is usually desired). In some cases (high-resolution scanning), the combined scan of multiple photos will be too big to edit, so scanning them one-at-a-time would be a better approach in that case.

I scanned a bunch of old family photos from the 40s-60s, and it did fine, it pulled them straight through using the guides. They were of different sizes so I sorted as best I could and batch scanned the groups. Somewhat difficult to navigate the setting menus to obtain the highest resolution (1200x1200), in color, and the correct size. Much faster and easier than a flat scanner.

great for scrap book, if you are using the printed photo; if not then download the picture onto your computer and print it whatever size you would like. However, remember the its a 10MP camera!!

yes.... you and use a USB thumb drive and it will scan images to the drive for later use on your PC. Each page is saved as a jpg image which can be converted on your PC if necessary.
