On Epson scanner I can scan 6 photos at a time and saved them in Photo shop Elements 5. How can I separate them to be seen separate as one at a time instead all 6 together. Any help greatly appreciated.

You can't do this easily, that I know of. You would need to highlight each and crop it from the image.

Do you mean that you put 6 photos on the scanner glass and scanned them? Then you basically created one photo. In Elements, you could select and copy or crop to make a new image of each, but it would be better to scan each photo individually, save them to a desired folder, and open them from there.

I do this quite often and it is neither difficult or time consuming.
1. I open a second photo software program (I use Microsoft Photo Editor-but any others work fine.)
2. FILE/NEW choose an apropriate picture size then click minus(-) to hide that into the toolbar
3. Open Elements with your combined photo
4. Highlight one picture and COPY (CTL+C)
5. Switch to the other editor (Photo Editor) and PASTE (CTL+V)-them SAVE-AS using a new picture name. then FILE NEW again
repeat for each picture. I always save that old combined picture in case one of the copies gets ruined or lost.

I found the ez way of scanning several photos at once http://www.imagepile.net/index.php?p...1432&name=Pics on Canoscan.JPG and having them come up seperatly is first download http://www.download.com/Image-Analyz...-10429018.html

I use a Canoscan 30 and put in say 4 old kodak pictures ( Your pictures should not be touching each other which is why I only do 4) at a time. Give at least an inch in between the pictures. Hit the scan button and they'll come out as seperate images on image analyzer. http://www.imagepile.net/index.php?p...422&name=image analyzer.jpg
or File>Acquire image
I see arcsoft Photostudio5 also will seperate all your pixs for you. Then you can run them through photoshop or many other free image/picture clean-resize up software.

In Photoshop Elements 5.0 ...
Using the Crop Tool ... position (and rotate) the Crop Window to outline one of the 6 Photos.
Then Crop the Image .. IMAGE >> CROP.
Now .. save the cropped (individual) picture to a New File Name.

Go back to your History .. and Backup to the original Image.
Repeat the above procedure and crop out another picture .. and save it to Another file name.
... 4 more times and your done.
This will give you 6 individual photos.

You may want to work on a copy of the 6 photos ... In case you make a mistake and rewrite the original scan.

That looks like a great tool. A lot easier than cropping and pasting each individual file. Thanks for that.

Your welcome. It just looked like alot of people we're doing it the long drawn out way to get seperate pictures off a scanner.

To many extra links in the chain !
Use your Epson scanner software in 'professional' mode. This enables you to have as many 'selected areas' of marching ants as you would like.

A simple matter of just dragging around the image you want, then selecting the output size. If all your images are the same size you can click the duplicate button and this will automatically create a new identical scan area.

This is not difficult.

Each area can have different attributes, like colour, density, sharpening. Although you can't scan some as B&W and some as colour. So batch them first.

This is not difficult.

If you would like screen shots of proceedures let me know.
