I have not used the front-panel buttons because the way I placed it on my desk makes them unhandy, but the included EpsonScan software gives you total control of functionality. so you need to keeps a dusting brush handy if you have neglected your negatives. The spot removal function works wonders, though it does add considerably to scan time. The light it uses to scan negatives requires no warmup time.Д®ach scan is flawless only rarely do I have to adjust the brightness and contrast curve, and only on a previously 'impossible' negative (the church ceiling lighted only by windows is just as it was scanned, with no corrections.) It's like it does all the thinking for me. I've used the Epson V600 to scan color photos and negatives and black and white negatives. I don't understand why Epson continues to sell this product when Digital ICE stop working on the MacOS years ago as well as offering an outdated version of Silverfast that can be updated or upgraded at discount.

Otherwise, be prepared to shell out more than $100 to update it, and even more to upgrade it. If you have a Mac that's running Catalina or Big Sur, then I recommend that you consider an alternative. I'd rather wait for Epson to come out with a new version of an affordable flatbed photo scanner than have one that doesn't work as promoted. I am very disappointed and displeased, and if I cannot get a discounted version of this update or a discount on an upgrade to SE Plus, for example, then I am going to return it Best Buy as I have nine days left to return it, which I am certainly going to do. They even have the Digital ICE logo emblazoned on the bottom left of the front of the scanner. The selling point of this scanner is the Digital ICE dust and scratch removal, as it's promoted on both the Best Buy and Epson websites. I don't want a gift - I want a scanner that works as advertised. It's like we're not really registered users - Epson is the registered user, and we received a gift. However, since Epson made a deal with Silverfast, then there's no discounted updates or discounted upgrades.

When I tried to update it to the latest version, which is now Silverfast 9 SE without paying the full price, which is $99, there is no discounted rate for registered users, which I am. So my software is six months old, and my scanner is seven days old.

I was pleased when I learned that Silverfast was offered for free to correct this problem however, it's the cheapest version of Silverfast, Silverfast SE and it's outdated (rev 8.8.0.24) from November 2020. In fact, Digital ICE did not work with the last version of the MacOS 10.5.5 Catalina. I purchased the Epson Photo V600 from Best Buy about 14 days ago and found almost immediately that Digital ICE does not work with my new iMac that is running MacOS 11 Big Sur. Pictured are some of my own film scans using the V600 after color processing on Lightroom And for those using this for film scans, The Epson Scan software comes with its own negative coloring but I find that the colors usually donвЂ™t come out the way I want them, but can be fixed in whatever editing suite you prefer to use. Other than that, this is a great scanner for anyone looking to do sharp scans of anything really. As of now, Epson Scan 2 is only available for MacOS users and it greatly reduces the time for scans in higher resolutions, with Windows being my main operating system, I can only use Epson Scan 1 and I find myself waiting 15+ minutes for 12 (twelve) 35mm exposures at 6400 DPI.

The problem really only arrives in the film scanning software. I personally use the V600 for film scanning and although there are better but more expensive ways to go about film scanning, it is a good way to get my foot in. Apart from that, it works well as a photo scanner as well if you want to digitize photo books. If you need it for single document scans, you could get away with a cheaper scanner but the quality of scan in this scanner is amazing. The Epson V600 is great scanner for a multitude of reasons.
