The scanner’s image screen fits 4x6 photos but you can scan larger images as well by scanning each part of stitching it together without seams!  The photo software that is available restore colors as well so old photos can be become new again without hurting the original.  The patented flip-and-scan technology even allows you to scan images still in the album or frame.  You can copy and restore old photos, scan newspaper or old records and preserve your memories forever!
