General

The ION Slides Forever is a fast slide and film scanner suitable for both PC and Mac and easily digitises any standard 35mm slides and film via USB. Your hard-copy shots and reels are processed at great speed and in high quality so you can digitally store all those memories. The Slides Forever can process 1 to 2 slides per second with top-quality optics. The digitalised scans have an incredibly detailed resolution of 5 megapixels (about 2600 x 1700 pixels).

Using the Slides Forever

The Slides Forever is simply connected to your PC or Mac with the included USB cable. With most operating systems, there's no need to download any drivers and the software it comes with helps you transfer your slides or film to your computer and edit them afterwards. The digitised pictures can be opened by any other image-related software and since this ION have built-in automatic light and colour balancing, there may not be much editing to do. The ION Slides Forever is an essential device for those who want their slides and film to last forever.

This device is easy to use and the scanning process works well but there are a couple of disappointing problems. Firstly, the manual slider of the rapid feeder does not move slides accurately under the lens, so that one has to take the feeder out of the reader and re-position the slide. This is a nuisance which means that the speed of operation is vastly reduced. Secondly the slides look OK in the preview window but when transferred to the PC the color quality is poor; there is a pink cast to the picture which cannot be removed without a lot of 'Photoshopping', meaning, I suppose, that the white balance is inaccurate. Black/white reproduction is fine, but that's a bit out of date in 2015! Only two cheers I'm afraid - I guess one gets what one pays for .......

Prijs kwaliteit is zeker in orde.Werkt vlot en goed.Enkel de schuif voor de 7 dia's na elkaar te scannen heeft dikwijls een hapering zodata je overgaat op het raam om 4 dia's te scannen.

Acheté pour sauvegarder et visionner plus facilement sur PC les diapos et autres négas, cet appareil est très convenable et me satisfait. Le rapport qualité/prix très bon. Bien sûr, il ne faut pas attendre des images de très haute qualité, et les couleurs méritent souvent un petit ajustement autre qu'avec les commandes de luminosité inclues dans le programme, mais globalement il est facile d'utilisation et rempli bien son rôle.

Scanner werkt makkelijk maar de kwaliteit van het resultaat is matig. Installeren vergt downloaden van de software op de homepage. Er is geen CD aanwezig. Snel overbelicht (ook met minimale instellingen) en veel verlies aan details. Hoe donkerder de dia, hoe minder het resultaat. Dia's blijven vaker steken in de schuif ondanks dikte verstelling. Voor de prijs echter een te verwachten resultaat en prima om je oude dia's weer te bekijken.

Perfecte scanner voor mijn doel: het snel digitaliseren van ruim 4000 dia's. In een paar dagen al bijna 1700 dia's gescand. Kortom erg blij mee en zeer prettig geprijsd!

C'est un bon produit pour un particulier, facile à utiliser, et rendant le service que l'on peut attendre d'un tel produit. Ce n'est pas un produit professionnel avec un rendu de grande qualité mais c'est tout à fait correct pour le prix.

Au niveau de la commande et de la livraison, c'est parfait et très rapide.

Ce produit me convient parfaitement. Son utilisation est ultra simple, il prend peu de place et donne de bons résultats. Il ne fait pas appel à des talents de photographe ni d'informaticien que je n'ai pas. Bref, un produit grand public.
Attention tout de même avec Windows 10. J'ai du demander un pilote à Bax Music qui me l'a fourni dans l'heure mais j'aurai peut-être pu aller chercher l'ancienne configuration de Vista que j'avais auparavant.
Après ce moment de flottement, tout marche très bien. La notice est bien faite mais l'utilisation de l'appareil est de toute façon intuitive.
