I have found this scanner produces pictures that are too blue. I’m converting about 2500 of my Dad’s slides, so I really don’t have time to go to a software program and try to adjust every one of them. I need something better.
I also get images that are too blue. Is this a common defect or do Debra and I have defective units?
Tom – I think that is a fairly common problem with this scanner. Though, most of the lower-end scanners won’t give the best image quality. Film scanners are a lot like digital cameras. Cheaper digital cameras will still take a picture, but the quality is a far cry from a $1,000+ camera.
The problem of blue images was resolved by Wolverine Customer Support who sent me version D of the firmware. It was very easy to upgrade the firmware. The scanned images are now very good.
