I say slow when referring to personal settings. When I bulk scanned photo's it was quick. The software for it has very good functionality but the bulk scan could be improved. You have to pre scan, correct the frame and final scan individually. It would be helpful if you could correct each one on an individual basis and then scan them all, that way you wouldn't have to come back to it every 10 mins. Another issue I encountered was it kept crashing my Pc. I tracked it down to the nforce 2 chipset, I tried three different branded motherboards and it crashed on all of them. I now have it set up on a pre N force 2 pc. Overall the quality of the pictures is great, but it is annoyingly slow
