Summary: Excellent Product
Comment: This scanner is fabulous! It is easy to set up, easy to use (4 buttons) and the scanned photos look great on the computer. I scanned in several photos that were very old and faded but even they look good. The quality is top-notch. I haven't mastered doing negatives yet but I have done hundreds of photos and I could not be happier with the results.
I have recommended it to several people who were in the market for a scanner. I happily recommend it to anyone reading this review too. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Epson Scan software gets frequent out of memory error
Comment: I have the same problem another user reported with Epson Scan. They succeeded in reaching Epson who said the software has a memory management defect. In my case, my machine has Gigabytes of memory and hundreds of megabytes of free hard disk. The Epson software will not even let me do a Grey scale scan of an 8.5x11 photograph at 1200 dpi. It says I'm out of memory. However I'm looking at my memory allocation when I do this and I have Gigabytes of free memory when this error comes up. I have the latest Epson Scan software and am having this problem. Great hardware, but software is not as good as what I expected or needed.

Summary: Epson Perfection 4490 - Best For The Buck!
Comment: After checking in Consumer Reports, I decided I would try this scanner. It is more than I expected. Had a few problems figuring out file scanning but their Help Desk quickly helped me understand. Would buy again and this is a great price - the price was higher in Consumer Reports and that was the only thing they didn't like but the price on Amazon brought it down to the level that made it a great buy!

Summary: Review of Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner
Comment: To date this unit has been used primarily on old black and white 120 negatives. Results have been good to excellent in most cases, but in some instances dark areas will exhibit poor definition and show up as undefined black patches on the displayed image and is impossible to correct.
The other problem found was with ease of access to the copy function. Previous models of Epson scanners have been controlled by software such as Epson Smart Panel which creates a location from which all functions are easily reached. In this instance the 4490 is a step backward.
