I bought this unit mainly to duplicate some 1960's slides though I thought the negatives and picture duplication was a plus but when I used it the picture and negative dupliction were actually , on a scale of 1-10 , a (7) for negatives and a (8) for pictures but the slides were about a (4) ! The slides on bright pictures were blurry and the darker pictures had blocks of squares on shadow lines instead of nice smooth lines ! I ended up sending it back , having 100's of slides to do and didn't want to do again if I find a good quality one !

Worth the Money

I got this Pacific Image ImageBox about a week ago and started scanning old negatives. First lets be clear this is not a scanner but more or less a camera which copies your images.
I had no problem loading the software that came with the Imagebox. It is a very basic no frills program. I connected the Imagebox with the USB line to my computer so I could see the images being done. Once I load the the negative in the box it takes a few seconds for it to adjust the lighting of the negative then I save the image. I can zip through 4 negatives in a manner of minutes. I have done 600 negatives so far and the speed of the Imagebox is faster than what I had thought it would be. It takes more time to load the strip of negatives by far.
Like I stated this is not a scanner but still I am happy with the quality of the jpeg I get. I put my setting at Best quality. I have not used the picture adjustment part of the program because I use Photoshop to process and adjust any image. I scanned a negative of my little girl when she was a baby, processed it and made a 8"x10" picture of it. I was happy with it and so was my wife.
I have not tried any slides yet so I can not tell you anything about this part.

Good for the price, and for non-professionals.

Please note I used a Mac, so your experiences may differ if you're on a PC.
There's a lot of slide to digital products out there that range from $50 to $250, and the ImageBox is a nice middle ground. It is a good product for any amateur seeking to look back at their old slides, and the image quality is good with a few flaws.
- The ImageBox itself (the scanner) is light, a bit bulky, and soundless. It doesn't make any loud scanning sounds, only requires one USB slot. The slide holder is nice and holds up to 4 slides, but sadly you must manually insert them and insert the slide holder each time so it can be time consuming and annoying if you're doing hundreds of slides.
- The software is terrible, and the worst part is you have to use the software in order to use the ImageBox. Maybe it's because I am on a Mac, but the software sometimes would not even open. Sometimes it would crash and exit. Sometimes the preview window would just go black and I would have to restart the software. It was a really pain to just rotate an image, and the color correction features were unrealistic. I wish they would update the software because it was the biggest downside of this product.
- The image quality is good, it's vibrant, crisp (if the photograph is), good contrast, and good resolution. As with any slides they have a few scratches, dust, and speckle on the slides that will scan it with the image. The color on some images is a bit washed out and has a classic "vintage" look. I wouldn't recommend the software for correcting these problems, it's too time consuming and inaccurate. You really need to have knowledge of Photoshop in order to correct a lot of the images and retouch them. Color correction goes a huge way on Photoshop and it makes a lot of the photographs I had from the 1950s look like they were taken yesterday.
Overall it's a good product, but it's a product that really requires you to have some image editing software too, or know someone who can correct the images for you. It's great for the home user trying to scan in their parent's or grandparent's old slides, but time consuming if you are going through a hundred or more. Keep in mind the scan really can only be as good as the photograph and slide itself is, so you can not expect wonders. They won't be as high quality as photographs are nowadays.
