Good for JPGs? Is this the item I want?

I would have have to say yes. I am using it for all my digital photos. Seems to work fine.

The viewable resolution is 680 x 480, so you could always do that.The sample album pics are 688 x 488, but I would imagine that its a 4 pixel buffer around the edge.

This item worked great I converter close to a 1000 pictures, this is a good unit and easy to work. Good luck

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

It might be tough to feed them into this scanner. I had a hard time feeding some of my really old pics. You might want to seek out a professional for your negatives. Good luck.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

Yes, you can scan as JPG and in color, at variable resolutions. The quality of the scan somewhat depends on how steady your hand is, but you have unlimited do-overs if you don't like the result right away.

Yes. It does a good KOB scanning documents for reprint or to email. I'm not sure about photos as I haven't ever tried to scan and reprint those.

I assume, but I don't know. The page feeder can generate multi-page PDFs, so JPGs would seem pretty likely.

For what it is worth, that is about 600dpi (2400x4800) and will net you a file about 29M. Way overkill.. 4X6 scanned at 300dpi (1200x1800) will take about 6.5Mb for a TIFF file.. Jpg will be about .5 Mb As you go up in DPI, the file size grows exponentially.. Use Jpeg for emails, web etc, TIFF for archiving photos Jpeg's are good for emails, web etc at 150DPI or less (low as 72dpi).. Anything above 300DPI is typically a waste of space unless you plan on doing very large prints . 300dpi is a fine setting for storing images. TIFF is far better format to avoid pixelation.

This scanner will scan a color or black and white negative, and make you a digital .JPG (picture). You can then do whatever you want to with it. I have scanned negatives that I still have prints from, from the 1980's, and my prints from these scans are better than the originals from the 1980's. So yes it will scan them very well.

ive only used it briefly,only for documents and based on that I don't think it would be good for pictures. I do need to try photos

It scans photographs pretty well. I don't think it's quite as good as my Epson v500, but it's "good enough" unless you're doing archival work and want the absolute best result you can get. The software does little to no post-processing, and your only choice of output for photographs is JPG (which is always a "lossy" format, as opposed to TIF or other "lossless" format). I don't know if it's the particular JPG compression or the scanner itself, but there is a [very] slight "tiling" effect to the scanned photographs. I suppose overall, I would give it a 7.5/10 for photos. Additionally, since it is a sheetfed scanner, if there is any dust on the scanner "lens", you will end up with a line, as opposed to the V500, so you need to keep that clean. On the plus side, you can scan multiple photos (of approximately the same size) automatically from the document feeder tray, and you can scan the back of the photos at the same time to keep context (many people write notes on the back of photos, which takes twice as much time to scan if you are using a photo scanner). I will upload an example of this scanner vs my V500 in the "customer images" and you can judge for yourself. (edit: never mind...Amazon won't allow me to add customer images for this product) The image is at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg9fxsfvvdmutlj/S1300i_vs_V500_comparison.png

I haven't used it for photos or art. I'm sure it can scan photos and art fine, but I'm not sure about the quality.It works amazing for documents, which is what I use it for. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Saves in JPG. You would need a software program like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to convert to other formats. Scanner works very well and I convert to TIFF so that I can make changes later without losing quality. I have been very happy with this scanner.

yes, unless you are blowing the pictures up to about 36"x48" then you won't be able to notice any difference, given you're not looking at it from 2 inches away. anything higher than 6-8 megapixel will give you a decent print out up to 11x17. so don't worry too much about the upgrade in megapixels.

I think they default to jpeg but you can choose whatever you want when you move them to your computer.
