With the RX600 you can easily update your older fading pictures by using the high resolution scanner to digitalise your photo's then add brightness contrast or bump up the colour then print it out again at up to A4 size. Plus you can have borderless prints to avoid those white edges, making it just like its been developed of a standard film.
