Shouldn't have a problem. This was scanned on a V500 and the original mount was oversized. Any softness in the scan also exists in the original.

BTW, it's a four generation pix taken in 1935. The young girl is my mother, age about 14. ; >}

I just got the Epson V500 scanner as my wife needs to scan some of her parents' 
wedding album for a slideshow.  Nice excuse, and for $149 on Amazon I couldn't 
pass it up.

Peeking at the box right now, I see that the glass scanning surface is indented 
a bit into the scanner.

The pages that I have to scan from their wedding album are oversized - like an 
8x10 image on a 10x12 board-like page.    The pages come out (the whole album 
can be disassembled into a bunch of flat pages - I'll have to remember the page 
sequence so I can reassemble it properly) so that's not an issue.

The problem is: Towards the edge of the image, the photo is actually going to 
be maybe as much as a few millimeters above the surface of the glass.  That's 
going to suck, isn't it?

How deep is the "depth of field" of the scanner?  Am I screwed?
