My 35mm photographic slides were scanned full frame by the Wolverine Titan, with no cropping. I'm not sure what other types of media you'd like to scan. I'm limited to discussing my slides.
SD cards come in three different sizes. Standard, mini, and micro are the three sizes available. Wolverine opts for the most basic version. I believe there are adapters available for smaller SD cards to fit into a Standard, and I did notice that the Standard SD cards go into the Wolverine 'backwards.'
Not at all, I believe. According to my internet research, the glass slides are larger than 3 inches square and would not fit into the scanner. Also, I have some 35mm vacation slides that were commercially produced and have thick cardboard frames that are almost too thick to scan.

Based on other product reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, I had high hopes for this product. There are certainly less expensive options for film-making on the market. Scanners that work digitally I was not looking for a low-cost option. Excellent was something I wished for. The Wolverine Titan just wasn't up to the task. br>br>I have hundreds of old slides from decades ago that I have yet to digitize. I was astounded by how vibrant the colors and crisp the imagery were when I dug out those old Ektachromes. The Wolverine, on the other hand, produced dark, pixilated, and sadly lacking in detail scanned images. In photoshop, they couldn't even be fixed or improved. Not only that, but the scanner was incapable of capturing the entire image. It astounds me that they would sell a slide scanner that can't capture the full dimensions of a color slide; the Wolverine chopped off heads and gave me a degraded image that wasn't even suitable for simple Facebook posts. I'd be better off investing in a slide projector, projecting the slides onto a large screen, and photographing the projected image with a digital SLR camera. br>br>In the end, I had no choice but to return it for a refund. You don't need to spend a lot of money on this overhyped flop if you're willing to accept mediocre quality.
My wife transferred 6,000 slides of our children's childhood photos to the included 32 GB SD card, and then we transferred those 6,000 photos from the SD card to three 32 GB flash drives, which we are giving to each of our three children for our 50th anniversary. Everything went off without a hitch. We were quoted a price of $1500 by Legacy Box. For $170, we were able to complete the project. It took 17 minutes to complete. The task will take you 20 hours to complete.
Because of some negative comments about the resolution and portions of the picture being cut off, I almost didn't buy this item. This was not the case in my opinion. The clarity of the image was excellent. I tried photographing the slides digitally using a high-resolution screen, but the resolution and color were poor. My 35mm slide photos and 35mm film negatives were converted into high-quality JPEG files by the Wolverine. It's simple to use, and the process moves along at a reasonable pace. I discovered that I didn't require any additional trays. I wanted to convert all of these old photos to JPEG digital files so that they could be shared with family and friends on thumb drives, as I mentioned in previous posts. I was ecstatic with the outcome.
I've tried a few other devices that claimed to be able to convert slides to digital images, but none of them worked well. I was completely taken aback by the Wolverine Titan. The images are excellent, far superior to any other device I've used or seen. I really like the brush they included to keep the photo lens clean, and I couldn't ask for a better representation of the original slide; however, some reviewers complained about missing (or cropped) heads on the images. I believe that inserting a 35 mm slide as a portrait view rather than as a landscape view may cause some issues. Because the film is wider than it is tall, I discovered that the Wolverine is designed to take slides in landscape mode. This isn't an issue if you rotate the image after it's been digitized with one of the many image viewing software programs available on your computer. This will capture all of the video recorded on the film and then rotate it electronically without cropping any of it. I also found the work flow to be quick and simple. I'd buy this product again in a heartbeat (even though I'm not planning on taking 35 mm slides any time soon);.
Don't be fooled by the low price; it performs admirably. It's very easy to use, and the best part is that you don't need to be connected to the internet to complete the scans! So far, I've experimented with 35mm slides and negatives, with excellent results. When using the unit, make sure to clean the light in the base with the included cleaning stick on a regular basis! Also, don't let the image on the screen fool you into thinking you have a poor image - you don't. After you've downloaded it to your computer, the quality is fantastic. Although you cannot scan directly to your computer without using an SC card or internal memory, the unit does come with a USB cable that allows you to connect to your computer and copy the images - The instructions don't go into great detail about this. An aside: It's only been a few days since I got it - So far, everything has gone according to plan.
The image you see and receive has been cropped by a factor of ten. 15% on each of the four sides.
To be honest, I was blown away by this scanner. It was well worth the money. It's simple to operate, small in size, and produces images that are incredibly sharp and colorful. In about a week, I scanned over 2000 high-resolution slides.
I've started scanning thousands of negatives into files with the Titan and saving them to a cloud drive. It converts exactly what it "sees," so if the slides or negatives are in good shape, the saved result will be as well. This purchase was a good one!.
