This Device Saved Me Hours 

LOL. Well spotted.

Tim Dalton and Carey Lowell!

@@PhilMakesThingsdeep cut there. Bravo 🙌🏼

and a former Bond (Timothy Dalton)

@@user-rr6ix3eq4d missed it, damn! I think I saw a young Milla Jovovich as well

Ha! Good eye!!

I fully started this on a flatbed and thought, there has to be a better way LOL

aww thank you :) the auto correct really does a great job

I completely agree. The software has been remarkable and so nice and easy to deal with.

haha great minds! i hesitated so hard since it's a pricey purchase but this thing absolutely crushes!

The work is so good!! We need a zine or like book tbh of the work, but I don’t know you have time for that. My dad photographed fires, I so wish I was his subject!! Why 300 DPI? Are you going to rescan certain ones at 600 DPI? How many megapixels do 600 DPI come out to? Or how big are the files?

@@ordinary.american.beauty I have toyed with the idea of a book or a documentary or something for YEARS. It all seems quite daunting but the stories are so good so perhaps now that I have this thing, I'll be a step closer to making it happen :) As for 300 DPI, I initially thought I would just get everything in to look at it and then sort and make selects to rescan. At 300 DPI the files are small at 230kb so I'm now reconsidering just scanning at 600 DPI, which is slower but won't require me going back for a second pass.

I was gob smacked when I discovered this thing

It really is!

Thank you so much!!

Oh interesting! I wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

Tape?

I had the same ptsd which led to so much of my skepticism, but I was happy to have been worried about nothing :)

Glad you enjoyed! I'm so happy to have these digitally now.

Same! Been avoiding this for years but this thing has been a genuine game changer!

Oh hiiiii! Thanks for coming over!

Especially if you had any of those albums that used adhesive strips.

Yay to fast solutions!

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!

How amazing that you're doing that! I have such a small family that it is a bit easier I imagine on my side but still, just so many photos so quite the project regardless...

😂⚒️

💥💥

Oh so cool you worked there! Didn’t know Kodak had a similar machine.

They’re so fun to revisit

That is awesome!

It's so bananas! Really loving it.

It really does!

That’s amazing! I’m still daunted by all the slides and negs I have ahead of me…

there

So many memories...

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Just shows you and your family live and breathe photography.

Answers as far as I can give them! 1. I had many odd sized multi paper type images from my grandparents and great grandparents and the machine handled it without any issue at all. How think do you imagine the backing paper plus the printed images are? If the prints are the old super heavy cardstock that doesn't bend, I imagine there would be issues, but if it is no thicker than a postcard, I think you'll be fine. 2. I wouldn't do a paper backed photo with plastic on top. I think jamming isn't as much a it gripping the plastic in the rollers and potentially mashing up and crinkling the page as it attempts to suck the whole thing in. If it is one of the thick pages with the grippy adhesive that you lay the plastic layer down on after sandwiching a photo between the backing paper and the plastic, that will almost certainly be too thick I imagine. 3. If the back of the photo is sticky, I would take a make up brush and dust the sticky backing residue with baby powder or maybe even try a little Goo Be Gone on a cotton ball to see if it can be removed. That should either dull or remove the residue and allow the photo to pass through without issue. 4a+b. The photo was bent but not terribly ripped so it went through seamlessly with zero damage. Hope that all helps!

So glad to have discovered it

Next onto solutions for slides, negs and vhs/super 8/etc LOL

Looking for that next… 🫠

So young, right??!

@@OneMonthTwoCamerasso iconic! The documentary on Hulu now is worth checking out.

Glad you enjoyed it!

We did! He lived directly below us :)

I have a similar issue with numerous albums separate to these boxes of loose images. I've been trying to determine whether I disassemble the albums, which will mean they're torn up and destroyed, or if I should just scan full pages on a flatbed. TBD....

It's been flawless, even with a lot of pretty messed up prints of mine. I feel like I need a little follow up demo of all the types of prints Ive scanned so keep an eye out for that.

Yes I have loads of slides and negatives as well as multiple tape formats like VHS, Hi-8, etc that I still need to sort through :)

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Yes, I've got a bunch of cinefilm and VHS tapes to digitise too. Just need more hours in the day to do that.

@@kiwigreenflame 100%

I e been remarkably impressed.

ClaSSSSSy

It’s a standing desk so when I raise to standing it’s the right level :)

@@OneMonthTwoCameras oh hahahaha that makes sense! thanks for clarifying lol I was distracted during the video by that but it's actually a really good one!

No this is for prints only

Do it!!

Unless you have photo negatives. 🤞

It does a great job with Polaroids. No Newton rings and fast to scan. Much of the materials I have are Polaroids and it handles it like a champ. You just want to be sure to side load them rather than loading the top or bottom of the Polaroids and switch the media in the software to Instant Film.

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Awesome! Thank you!

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Would you say at least as good as epsons V series machines for Polaroids? The only thing I use my V850 for now is polaroid and wetplate tins. The plate tins I could do with my DSLR setup

@@dougolupski yes I feel it is very much on par but a whole lot easier

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Thank you scanning made easier is my life goals

Following! I need to tackle that next and only have a slow solution currently
