Rapid Photo Album Scanner
Family Photo Archiving, Album Digitising, Slide and Negative Scanning, Genealogy Projects, Scrapbooking, Memory Preservation
Overview
The Rapid Photo Album Scanner digitises prints, slides and negatives while they stay mounted in their albums, which is the feature that makes a large family collection realistic to archive. You place it over each photo, frame the image on the built-in 5 inch colour screen, and capture at either 14 MP or 22 MP depending on whether the target is sharing on screen or reprinting at size. An RGB colour adjustment stage restores faded prints and improves contrast, and the capture is designed to be glare-free despite the plastic sleeves that normally cause reflections. Files save straight to a memory card rather than requiring a computer, and the included 4GB SD card gets you started immediately, with USB available for transferring the archive to a PC and HDMI for reviewing results on a television. The box also contains a 35mm negative holder, a slide holder, a power adapter, a cleaning tool and cables. Sharper Image covers it with a 1 year limited replacement warranty.
