Question about scanning pics
Hey,

If u scan more than 1 picture at once(put more than one pic on the scanner and scan them all at once), will that distort, alter or change anything about the pics? Especially if u print them out?

No, you will just get one big image. of course it depends if the source images are mixed, say from newsprint and a photo. In that case you would need to descreen the newsprint to reduce the moire pattern - which would also be applied to the other images if scanned at the same time.

Some software (mine for instance) is able to recognise individual pics on a scanner bed so you can adjust the settings for each pic being scanned. It then scans and saves them as individual files/pics.

If you allow the scan software to adjust color settings automatically, then it would be better to scan the photos individually. If you don't let it auto-correct anything, then it wouldn't matter. You'd have to slice the image up to save them in different files, though, unless your software does it for you.
