After digitizing, i want to create and print my photos into an album in Shutterfly or Picaboo. In order to do this, must i scan each photo individually? If not, how do i separate group scans to load them into the album i'm creating? I have an Apple MacBook pro. Also, i discovered that my husband had an Epson V300 scanner. Would that work as well?

The problem is the scanning software! It should have offered a way to automatically scan each image separately. Maybe it does? I am not familiar with it. See if it provides for cropping before final scanning. Or, you can use Photoshop Elements to CROP and save each image separately from the group scan. But this provides lower resolution images and is tedious, time consuming work.

I bought "modern" scanning software but i will neither name nor recommend it because the developer sold Beta, half-baked, software and refused to answer questions from customers who paid almost $100 for it!

I am currently using the Silverfast demo software. I hope that isn't the one you tried!

If you really scanned hundreds of film/slides on this thing I feel sorry for you. For the price of the scanner you can get a actual film scanner that is actually suppost to be used for this. The scans you get off the v600 for slides/film can only resolves to around 2MP reguardless of the dpi setting. Along with sub-average color and negative conversion youve basically told people to waste their time. DiMAGE Scan Dual II is a good place to start. We are talking 2MP resolve power vs 20-30. Telling people to waste their time with a toy thats the same price range isnt great advice.
