Epson Scanner 4490
I am very pleased with the product. I use it for scanning both opaque graphics and 35mm and 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 transparencies. I never use the holders for the mounted transparencies allowing me to scan more at once. I then separate them with the cropping tool in Photoshop. HINT! If the first slide in the row is too close to the top of the light slot the scanner will treat the material as opaque.

Excellent scans, weak software
The Epson Perfection 4490 produces excellent scans of both opaque material, such as post cards and photos, and transparent material, such as slides and negatives. I was even able to scan 2.25" x 2.25" (120) mounted Ektachrome slides by removing the gate that holds medium format film in place. The gate is easy to remove and replace. This was important to me as I have many medium format slides in need of saving to digital format. The picture post card I scanned showed no moire artifacts and captured the colors perfectly.
The OCR software seemed limited and became confused if anything outside of standard text was on the page. It did, however, recognize a letterhead logo and captured it as a picture. When a poor quality carbon copy was scanned I spent more time correcting the errors than I would have spent typing it all myself in the first place.
Heads up on the advertisement that Photoshop Elements is bundled with the scanner! The included version is Photoshop Elements 2. That is a pretty old version since versions 6 and 7 are now out.

Epson perfection 4490 Scanner
Relatively quick scanning original images and slides, accurately and sharply; easy to use. One drawback: no capability for scanning transparencies.

great for old photos
Had a bunch of old, worn and faded photos to scan. It allows you to scan multiple photos and a time while creating separate files for each! Such a time saver. Also color corrects faded worn photos beautifully! Simple to use. Very pleased!

Ease of use, great color
I use my Epson 4490 to scan color images, so I can't speak for the photographic capabilities. This is my second Epson (I've used Canon in the past) and I am sold on its ease of use, its durability and its superb color reproduction.

Epson: New Photo Fine Player P-4500 Hello! Today I am going to talk about Epson Japan novelty – its Photo Fine Player “Multimedia Storage Viewer”, which has been recently announced.
The obvious advantage of Epson photo viewer is its incredibly sharp screen. Its high quality 3.8" VGA LCD screen makes Epson the perfect choice for viewing high-resolution images both for professionals and enthusiasts.
Video quality is another advantage. The movies are excellent - smooth and extremely sharp. But the video battery life could be much longer, actually it’s well below average for a portable media player.
The new version features wider RAW file support (comparing with the previous models P-2000, P-4000), which includes Canon CRW / CR2, Konica Minolta 7D / 5D, Nikon RAW (D-SLR), Pentax RAW (D-SLR), Epson RAW, Olympus RAW (E-1, E-300, E-500).
Among the main minuses, I would name first of all its poor audio and video capabilities (the latter has been improved in the latest version). Also, the battery is very short, as I have mentioned, and the device itself is fairly chunky.
Weight: 438 g (1.0 lb) – even heavier than the previous versions (P-2000 - 415 g (0.9 lb);
Dimensions: 148 x 85 x 33 mm (5,8 x 3,3 x 1,3 in)
The price can be another problem. The P-4500 is not available for sale yet, but the expected price is approximately $640 (75, 000 YEN).
Now, I would like you to see what has been improved and what has not been changed in the P-4500 in comparison with the P-4000.
