Best Scanners for Original

it looked like the original prints, granted with slight fading but that's to be expected from 30+ year old negatives.

even though the resulting colors and hues in photos are not the same as the original it's actually pretty good.

i have copied photos that are over 50 years old with the color completely faded to a sepia tone and the result was better than i remember the originals to be.

using 1200 is 400% of original, and using that setting, and zooming in using common photo software, the detail was far beyond my expectations--almost like a crime movie zooming in on the subject's

it has done well with a variety of contrasts in the originals.

this review was original written about the discontinued canoscan lide 90, but all or most comments should apply to the canoscan lide 200.

the images are almost as good as the original.

i don't think i could scan an original photo without seeing some degradation in quality.

great contrast, colors are true to the originals.

some pics are as much as 60 yrs old and the detail in the scan is better than the original photo.

i couldn't correct defects in the original photo - even with photoshop - but if the original was in pretty good condition - the scanned image looked good.

scanned small photos (3 x 4 inch) can be blown up to fill computer screen and look better than the original.

as a matter of fact, i scan a lot of old pictures and many of them have come out clearer than the originals.
