Expert review by : paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)
Rarely do I look at a standalone scanner, but should you need to scan other than documents then a specialised standalone scanner comes to the fore especially for negatives and slides.
The comes with some excellent software that makes the scanning from whatever format just a matter of a few clicks, also included is PhotoSmart Premium that gives you control over the images once scanned, while the two work together they can be used...

Once you have scanned your item, you can see a preview, but then you have to click again to edit/crop and the scanner makes little effort to determine the size of the image - so if you are scanning a normal size photo, you always have to crop it to get...
