Scan 35 mm color slides using Mac OS 11.2.3 and EPSON PERFECTION V500 PHOTO SCANNER with 4 slide holder.

What software are you using to scan. Most slide scanning software will automatically cut out the four images, and save them as individual files.

If using the epson scan software, see here, and use the thumbnail preview mode:

If you can't get it to do what you want, check out vuescan. Not free, but very good.

Hi -

For scanning a slide, you will need a very high resolution. A 35mm slide image is slightly less than 1x1.5 inches, so to get about 12 mega pixels, you are going to need to scan at 3000+ dpi. 6000+ will give you about 50mega pixels.

If your scanner supports it, use the digital ICE dust and scratch removal. It will slow down the scanning, but save you a world of pain in later touch up.

To get them into photos, scan them to a folder, and then import from the folder.
