Scanning into iphoto 9

Last year, I scanned multiple photos per scan and each photo ended up in a folder as a single photo- even when I click on "crop". Now, when I scan/crop multiple photos, the whole scanned page is still attached to the photo when I click on "crop". I don't remembe how did I got the scans to become single photos last time. Any ideas?

iPhoto '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Unless you have software like PhotoShop Elements which will do it automagically, you will have to make multiple copies of the full page image and crop each one.

O.k. I know that isn't how I did it before because I have a folder called Contact Sheets and it appears I scanned multiple photos and imported it.


I did however recently get Photoshop Elements- though I haven't used it yet. I opened the editor in PSE and clicked on "import" and according to my google search should see my printer. I don't. I see "Anit-aliased PICT...", "Pict Resourced...", and " Frame from video...". The first two let me open my finder in the macbook but the "Epson Scan" is greyed under "Applications" and won't let me open it. I do see the "divide scanned photos" under "image" in PSE but can't figure out the basics of how to find the scanner! Ugh.


I know I did something easier than this in the past but I'll be darned if I know what that was. I am using a new scanner so perhaps the old scanner software seperated them.

I meant that Elements could take the image from iPhoto and split it up into the individual images. You would export the 4-up to elements (or whatever it is) and divide up the image. then you would save 3 of the images to a separate folder (like the desktop) and press save on the last one. The last one will automatically import into iPhoto and you can file->add to library the other three.


You will need to check with adobe or Epson about scanning directly into elements.
