Review on 🟡 Wolverine Titan 8-in-1 High Resolution Film to Digital Converter with 4.3" Screen, HDMI Output - Yellow by Mark Dahmer

I liked the design and the big screen. Scanned quickly too. That's the only reason I give it a 2 and not a 1. When I scanned the slides, some of the images were fine. Others are mottled in dark areas and completely faded in light areas. You can adjust the brightness; but you have to do this for each slide in the menu with many clicks. It will take a long time. My old 5 megapixel scanner did an automatic adjustment, which worked very well, so you don't have to manually adjust brightness or color balance. When inserting slides, you can simply slide the scanned ones through. This makes it quick, but the cardboard slides sit firmly in the holder. I constantly missed them folding on me as I had to press very hard to get them to insert. Speaking of color balance, when I scanned the negatives they all had an odd yellow/green cast to them. Again, I don't want to adjust the color balance and brightness for each slide. When I adjusted the scan of the negative in Photoshop it looked fine until I zoomed in. The dark areas were very blotchy. This makes the higher resolution unusable. That would be fine for shots, but anything cropped or enlarged looks bad. Finally, the main reason I brought it back is that the 35mm negative scans cropped a significant portion of the image. You must decide whether to cut off the right, the left, or part of both. For real? It is believed to be primarily a 35mm scanner. I'd rather scan more than one full negative and crop it than lose part of the image. When I was shooting on film, I chose my shots very carefully. Losing part of the image when scanning is unacceptable. You can see from the photos I uploaded that the negative I scanned with my old 5MP scanner is good. In the one scanned with Wolverine, the people in the background are too dark to see. When I adjusted the brightness to see them, the foreground was completely blurry. The color wasn't great either. My 5 megapixel scanner cost about $80 and I bought it many years ago. I figured that with so many years and newer, faster technology, spending nearly $150 on a modern scanner would produce better images. It was disappointing.
