It was purchased mainly for scanning old 35mm films. In prof. mode, the "DIGITAL ICE" function remarkably removes dust and scratches - greatly facilitates fasting. processing. Of course, if the negative is significantly damaged, further corrections in the editors are indispensable, but in general, the automation works very well. I was pleased with the presence of the POTOSHOP ELEMENTS program in the kit - a "stripped down" photoshop for dummies, but in general, for correcting not highly artistic shots from the family archive, it is an excellent program, with a sufficient number of tools. I strongly advise everyone who has a desire to digitize old photo archives and films and more!
