I am getting the scanner but it is coming without the software. I think the software is the same for the 2580,2590, 3490, and 3590. Thanks!

Last summer I had a goal to scan about 25 photos/day. That project lost steam after a few weeks. Part of the fun of old photos is rummaging through boxes and discovering pictures you forgot about. Maybe it should stay that way. It worked out pretty well for me. Last summer I had a goal to scan about 25 photos/day. That project lost steam after a few weeks.

Did you a) find the solution you were using back in jan 07 worked out okay for you, and/or b) identify a newer or better option?

While there are many like us out there looking to scan old photos, that's just it...they're old. Once the old photos are scanned all new photos will already be in digital format and I'm guessing the developers aren't wanting to spend time developing a product that won't be necessary a few years from now when everyone has converted their photos into digital format. Just a guess. Thanks, though, for the info on the auto photo scanner...that was helpful. I don’t think you’re going to see the auto photo scanner hit the market in mass anytime soon (if at all).

I too can only find the same two multi photo feeders. I have the hp 5530 and it works well with a 1touch button. Periodic jams slow it down though. I've scanned hundreds of photos and many more waiting. Not enough people are searching for multi feeders and every new novice is buying these cheap scanners with 1 photo option, not challenging the limitations. When the consumers mature with photo scanners, they will demand more multi feeders and the sellers are probably already prepared. Yes. I too can only find the same two multi photo feeders.

I may have to go the route you've done. I don't understand why this market segment is being completely ignored :( I’m in the same boat. I may have to go the route you’ve done.

]]> Comment on Photo Organizing Software by webmaster http://www.gadgetroundup.com/photo-organizing-software/#comment-9 webmaster Tue, 06 Feb 2007 12:51:02 +0000 http://www.gadgetroundup.com/photo-organizing-software/#comment-9 I did read some comments in various forums that performance was an issue. http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/ http://www.dpreview.com There are also a lot of scrap booking forums that discuss performance. However all of these sites also have tips to improve performance. My copy "boots up" rather slow but so do all of my Adobe products. The performance seems ok once the program is running. I have about 6,000 photos in my catalog on a fairly new and powerful AMD 64 machine. I had read that Photshop Elements have been used on catalogs with up to 40,000 photos. I first used ACDsee about 10 years ago and I did look at the site for ACDsee to see what they have been up to for the past 10 years. There was something I didn't like but I can't remember what it is. ACDSee is only $39 but I bought Elements for ~$45 on Ebay. Thanks for the info and I encourage others looking for software to download the trial of ACDsee to see if you like it. Thumbs Plus is another software package that may be worth lookig at. I stil use version 4.5 and the latest version may be suited for what you need to do For me key features are: Writing tags to IPTC header and file mangement that allows me to move files on the hard drive into folders that would make it easy to find photos even without software.
