How "One Touch" is one touch? I want to scan thousands of slides into tiffs and later spend time with only a few to "fix" with software editor.

4 slides are manually placed in the holder cartridge. You then advance each slide manually through the scanning mechanism. You then frame each slide with a cursor and you are able optimize scan settings for each slide. It's an excellent product and it generates 18 MB or even 50 MB images files for each slide. ***** for my slides.

The scanner does not have an automatic advance for slides or film, rather you put the content into the carriage, then insert it to the scanner and each advance is manual. Once you get your settings for scanning set, save them and reload the settings each session. You can simply advance the carriage to each image then click the 'scan' button. It's pretty quick. Your sessions can be for whatever film or negative you have. For thousands of slides, you're going to want to be patient. Scanning takes 30 seconds or so per frame, depending on the dpi you choose, but this is nowhere close to a 'thousand slides in an evening' proposition...

You probably can not. As far as I know, there is no consumer product on the market yest that can do what you want.

This particular unit is just for slides -- either individual mounted slides or for film strips. There is no way to scan a photo on this particular model.

If you install the Epson Scan software and set it in "Professional Mode", you will be able to preview an entire screen of photos, select each one individually, then choose "All". Each photo will be saved individually. So you scan once, but save multiple photos at the same time. This scanner does not have a negative or slide scanning attachment. Prints only.

Several years ago Canon made a slide holder for the Pixmas that scanned 35mm slides. You can probably find one somewhere if Canon does not make them anymore.

You are supposed to be able to. I never used it to scan slides but did scan negatives and it worked great.

The question I have aside from the issue of multi-touch is this, why doesn't the manufacturer and the elocity web site state"multi-touch" or show that function being demonstrated in a video? Surely they understand and can appreciate the value thatfunction has for a great many potential buyers. The fact they choose not to use that verbiage signals to me that it isn't truemulti-touch.

Use a printer scanner for slides and 35MM film and you should be able to scan mounted slides. Both of my printer work

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.

I once placed all 10 fingers on the screen and it registered them as a touch. Rather or not it would work to open a file simultaneously I cannot say. I disabled the touch screen not long after getting it because it kept 'ghosting' touches on the screen. I don't like touch screens anyway, so it was not a big deal. I'd be careful though, I hear defective touch screens on the cheaper ASUS models is a rather large problem at the moment.

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!

The issue is not the vintage of the slide but the slide's condition & format - I've scanned numerous older slides. The machine scans 35 mm (i.e. 24 X 36 mm) slides or negative strips. To save a lot of Photoshop or equivalent app time, should make sure that the slides are as clean as possible before the scan (i.e., compressed air can or squeeze-type air brush). Good luck!

I just purchased one myself. I have converted several hundred old (1974-1983) 35mm colored slides into digital images. I have had no problems. The one thing I noticed is the way the slide is put into the scanner. The slide cannot always be put into the scanner in the same position it is put into the viewgraph projector. Sometimes it must be turned 90 degrees or it will cut off some of the picture. Once the slide is scanned it can then be rotated back by the computer slide viewer. Don't know if this is your problem.

The stylus/digitizer is by ntrig, which does not have a good reputation for working well with PhotoShop. I've tried it myself and it doesn't work except as a simple mouse pointer.

Most of the slides get saved as 4680 By 3072. Which Is saved in 14 Mega Pixel JPEG Format.I personally love the unit. There is also a 20 Mega Pixel one made by them on the market now too.

I've just used it for slide scanning, and it's a manual, one at a time operation, but it goes remarkably fast. I literally had hundreds of slides and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to scan them once I got in a rhythm.

First off, Maybe Ron's answer needs clarifying. Load the software to your PC this unit is not a camera of any sort! Then plug in the unit to your PC,I believe its a USB. Now if you have some SLIDES open the slide unit and insert into the unit from right to left, one slide at a time. Get more answers from the book or go online. Hope this helps.

I am having the same problem of some slides scanning as negatives and someitmes one slide outof four not getting scanned. I found nothing in the FAQ or on the Canon site for the 4400F about this negative slide image problem, so I sent them an email for help today and hope they have a fix. I'll post it if they do.
