![]() ![]() The Epson Scan software can be used in three modes: full auto, home, and professional. Higher levels of sharpening are available to you from both of these applications, but I prefer the scanner’s conservative approach to sharpening. Using the default settings of both Epson Scan and SilverFast produced images that were not as sharp as other scanners I’ve tested, but the images still had a lot of detail. With the SilverFast software, I found that the colors on reflective scans looked better. The transparency scans benefited from the pumped up colors of Epson Scan’s default settings, and they looked better than those scanned with SilverFast SE, which I also tested. Turning off the automatic color correction toned down the reds, but then the scans had a slightly muted and murky look. The colors were pleasing, but our images were a touch on the red side with the default settings. Our scans were of good quality, capturing plenty of detail in both transparency and reflective modes. In our tests, using Epson Scan software and Photoshop CS, we found the V700 to be among the fastest scanners we’ve tested, especially when scanning transparencies. ![]() It also includes an assortment of software, including Epson’s own Epson Scan software, ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus OCR (optical character recognition) software, Photoshop Elements, and an alternate scanning program, SilverFast SE 6 from LaserSoft Imaging. It comes with four film holders to accommodate a wide variety of transparencies, from 35mm slides to four-inch-by-five-inch film. It can connect to your Mac via USB 2.0 or FireWire, but we used FireWire in our tests. The silver and black V700 scanner is a few inches taller than most desktop, flatbed scanners, and it has a boxy, angular design when compared to the rounded corners of most scanners. While the larger files you get from high-resolution scanning allow you to create larger prints from your transparency scans, in our tests the scanning quality of transparencies was good, but not great. It offers up to 4,800 dpi (dots per inch) scans for reflective media, like magazines and photographs, but it also features a second, fixed-resolution lens for capturing 6,400 dpi scans of film or slides. The Perfection V700 Photo scanner is a mid-range flatbed scanner with a split personality.
