More on the Epson V500:
Compared to my old Epson 1200U, the user interface on the new scanner is much quicker and easier to use. Interestingly, the menus look very similar to the ones on the 1200U, which shortens the learning curve a bunch, but somehow you get to a finished scan more quickly and easily.
I use the 'Professional' mode, which allows the user maximum control and reduces the amount of work that needs to be done in Photoshop (or in my case, GIMP). At this point, I am primarily using the machine to scan Velvia transparencies that I shot in the 90's. I need to replace some really rotten old scans on my website with better quality scans.
