Scanning multiple photos at once and saving them into separate files

[AlecClaire]

Hi

I'm preparing to digitise old family photos and I'm looking for an application which would speed up the process. I have a standard A4-flat-bed scanner and it would be nice to scan at one time as many photos as the scanning area can fit. It would be even nicer if there was some app that would automatically recognise them from one scanned A4 file, cut out each, and save them into separate files. Do you know of any?

Cheers
Alec

My Canon scanner came with an app (MP Navigator) which can do that (and I've used it for this exact task as you). Check what you got with your scanner.

Of course, you can always cut-and-paste but it becomes tedious, as you've discovered
