I just bought this scanner due to its great reviews:

[Amazon.com: EpsonPerfectionV300PhotoColorScanner(Black): Electronics: Reviews, Prices & more](http://www.amazon.com/Epson-B11B193081-Epson-Perfection-V300-Photo-Color-Scanner-Black/dp/B001GBKTGM/ref=pd_ybh_8?pf_rd_p=280800601&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=ybh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0TFEG0MNAPVXXBDXA2YT)

We’ve been using an all-in-one printer/fax/scanner and also have an old cheap scanner that doesn’t work with Windows 7 so is useless with our newest computer. But I really want to get better image saves on old photos, like DS as a baby for example.

I’ve only scanned a few photos but so far am quite impressed. You can request “color restore” right in the scan and it did bring back a couple of old faded photos to much more acceptable color. You can also lay down more than one photo and it scans each one individually. I haven’t tried the slide or negative functions yet but am looking forward to my new winter hobby. It will go along with my other new winter hobby of learning my Adobe Photoshop Elements software - so far I’ve only done quick fix.

My brother has been scanning in old family photos to a Facebook album and commenting on each one - good for the family to access.
