does this produce high quality images from slide with Mac OS X

Disappointed with the scan quality at 5 megapixels, and slide loading often stuck and became tedious. That's why I sent this scanner back and upgraded to the Ion Omni Scan unit, which does better scans at 9 megapixels and is much easier to individually load slides.

The quality of what the scanner made was so poor.. looked more like black and white than color, I would not reccomend it... looking somewhere else

If your slides are high quality then yes, if not your basically just getting a picture of how the slide is, I have transferred my dads slides to my laptop, they were not high quality but you can go into a picture program an clean them up. Hope that helps.

Sorry I can't help you. That never happened to me. My brother used it after I converted all my old slides to images to also convert his slides and had no problems. Between us we had thousands of slides! Maybe it is defective? Maybe you can return it for another one. I had to return my first one and they were excellent about it. Hope you can do it! I loved using mine because it was so simple! Hope this helps a bit.

I didn't get that far because it wasn't really compatible with OSX and Photoshop. I ended up with an Epson 100000XL, which is more expensive but excellent.

This camera works fine with my Mac (Mini running Leopard) to download pix into iPhoto. It just shows up as a drive like other digicams. The web cam function does NOT work on the Mac though.

OSX 10.6.8 has Preview, a program with tools to adjust color, contrast, size, and to save in formats like .png, .jpg, .tif, .gif, .pdf, etc. Preview can also rotate, crop, resize. There is no word processing in Mac OSX, but can get free download of a powerful suite Apache OpenOffice that runs on 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your processor. I have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Gz which is 64-bit.

Hello James. I have just finished transferring 400 plus slides and didn't have any issues. The machine was very consistent . I did use the higher resolution and did clean the optic screen frequently.

I am running Mavericks on my iMac and it works great. I just upgraded to Print Shop 3 and it works even better.

no it does not. I have some of the larger glass slides. It converts larger prints but not negatives or slides.

I have only used this for slides. I am not aware of a feature that converts photos.

Yes it is, that is the operating system I used it on. I converted over 3500 slides and film strip images with only a few problems due to warped slides.

I have the Silhouette Studio Software on my MacPro with the OS X system and it works very well. I hope that answers your questions

It only took each slide a matter of seconds to render and then save to the computer. Hope this helps, I was very happy with the performance.

Yes, that is why I bought this to convert 60's & 70's slide film to computer - then you can do whatever you want with them. I though the scanned pictures looked great compared to the actual slides - but you slide pictures might be faded or pixels not that great. So understand this.

I don't have a Mac, but it works great with photoshop or anything that has tablet support.

I think it may depend on the source material. I have only used it for slides that were 40 years old. Predictably those slides that were sharp (in focus) prodused the best results and if a slide was over or underexposed you can try to adjust the exposure. A lot of my slides were starting to fade and they were the ones with with the lowest quality.

Hi Thomas - I'm on a mac. PacificImageSelects included SW "CyberViewX" is quirky stuff. It can only save in tiff and has no dust removal. Need to purchase VueScan or Photoshop (via CyberViewX as TWAIN) to go for more - e.g Raw. Unfortunately Macs ImageCapture - personally i like it and use it with some Epson scanners - doesn't recognize the PacificImageSelect. Sorry, but the Pacific Hardware is not bad rather then the SW.

Don't bother. Highly specialized apps (like those in CS3) you want to run natively. And the mac version is very good. Call Adobe; they DO offer a cross-platform upgrade (there is cost, but it's significantly less than buying a new product). You'll be much happier in the long run, and save time running them natively.
