Best way to scan a lot of photos
DOWNLOAD
There are several ways to scan your family's photo collection.
The costs and time invested are vastly different for each option.
- Digital camera. Mount your high quality digital camera above your photograph, provide proper lighting, avoid reflections of the illumination. Depending on your photography skills and digital equipment's quality, you can potentially get similar or better results than most scanners can provide. This method requires expensive hardware and it is very time consuming, however you can end up with state-of-the-art results. You can try using your mobile phone as well, but the results will be terribly low quality.
- Photo scanner device. Buy a photo scanner device which is specifically made for scanning photos. This is a moderately expensive hardware that will process your photos one-by-one and outputs high quality image files.
- Photo scanning service. Transfer your photos to a local company that will scan your photos and save them to digital format.
The biggest drawback is that the services cost plenty of money. They often ship the photos overseas for cheaper labor. Your family photos
will be seen by strangers, compromising your privacy. On the other hand, many of these services do a pretty good job of retouching images,
providing decent results. - Flatbed scanner & photo scanning software. There's a good chance you already have a flatbed scanner, the most common type of scanning device. You can scan several
photos at once with simple hardware like this, however cropping them into individual files will be challenging and time consuming with
common scanning software most manufacturers provide alongside with their scanner. AutoSplitter was specifically invented to make this task
much faster and easier by providing automatic cropping of scanned photos. Common image problems like fade will be automatically corrected by the software
and you'll also be able to add captions and metadata tags to the image files to make them easy to search with Windows or image cataloguing
software.
You will preserve your privacy, save on costs and have complete control over captions, meta tags.
Scan photos to digital with this handy utility software. Your own flatbed scanner at home is a very good choice for scanning your family photos. Keeps your photos and your privacy safe, lets you control all aspects of the final product entirely. Digitizing your valuable memories will take plenty of time, it's a good idea to be prepared. Consider these steps to make your scanning project more fruitful:
- Decide if you want to keep your digital photos organized. If finding the memory you are looking for quickly is an important factor, then you
most probably need to sort your photographs by time first. Start with the oldest ones and finish with the new items. Come up with a system
that makes photos easier to find and categorize. For example you might want to add the year to the start of all filenames.
This will automatically sort your files roughly into time order if you arrange the images alphabetically. Image files also have an interesting
feature called metadata. This is data secretly stored inside the file - and you can edit this data. You can add a date and some text to
the image file to describe what's inside the photo. Windows and many 3rd party software are able to use this metadata to help you find and
categorize your memories more easily. - Avoid unnecessary work. Some photos are not worth scanning because they are very bad quality or just an almost duplicate of other photos.
This happens a lot in the modern world when taking images is free and super easy with the mobile phones. Back in the old times, making photos
was not cheap and definitely wasn't fast, but still sometimes you ended up with images that were not worth taking and developing. Review
your collection with this in mind. Is this a good image? Is this a unique photo? If the answer is NO for any of the questions, you can skip
the scanning process.
Of course this is only important if you have thousands of images. If your collection is smaller, you don't necessarily
need to spend time with this. - Prepare photos for scanning. Dust off individual images in case they are dusty. That happens a lot with old items sitting alone in your cupboard. Use non-abrasive cloth to make sure the paper isn't damaged. Photographs are often stored in albums, you will first need to extract them to provide good scanning results. Scanning photos embedded in album pages often causes problems: images are harder to automatically detect and images are often mounted with straps or slid into frames that obstruct a part of the photo. You want to avoid scanning these frames if possible.
- Store scanned image files safely. Digital image files are easy to copy or transfer over to the other side of the World.
They will never yellow out or fade. However they are very easy to lose. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
If your photo collection is large, you are definitely better off storing the files in multiple places. Rule of thumb of data backups are:
1) Store in multiple devices. In case your harddrive fails, you need to have the backup on another device that is still functional.
If your computer has multiple disks, store images on both. Or just write them to a DVD disk. 2) Store in multiple geological locations.
If a natural disaster, theft or household accident destroys your hardware, your only chance to restore
your valued image files is to access a backup that is phisically far away. For this I really recommend using cloud based file storage like
Amazon's Glacier.

Many people scan multiple photos at once and save the results to files without splitting the scan into individual images.
AutoSplitter photo scanning software can
help you in this scenario as well. You can open any amount of pre-scanned files and the software will detect and auto crop individual photos
from each scanned image and will save them to separate files. There are 3 ways to initiate file processing:
- Click Open File(s) button in AutoSplitter and choose the file(s) you want to be auto cropped.
- Click Open Folder button in AutoSplitter and choose the folder that contains your pre-scanned images.
- Drag and drop one or more scanned image files from Windows Explorer onto AutoSplitter's main screen.
In each case, AutoSplitter's photo detection will engage and look for invididual photos in the image file. If you have opened more then
one file, a new panel will show up on the left side of the software's main window. This panel is titled "Review batch detection". It will
show the thumbnails of all processed files.
Detected photos will be highlighted by a red frame. This is how you proceed now:
- Double click an image in this panel. The image will be opened and the splits will be displayed in the right hand panel.
- Make adjustments to the detected photos if needed.
- Save all button writes all photos to disc.
- Repeat from step #1 as long as you have reviewed everything.
Click Finish review button to conclude your review session. You cannot return to the review session anymore after this point, so make sure you
have done everything you wanted.
You can scan trading cards, baseball cards, postcards as well. The software will recognize rectangular shapes and auto crop them.

Old photos usually fade or yellow.
Why does this happen? It's mainly down to 3 things:
1) UV radiation. Ultraviolet frequencies
are a part of natural sunlight. These rays are damaging, they will cause your photos to fade out over time. Protect your old
prints from light, keep them under cover all the time! 2) Acidic paper. Some photos have been printed on material that will deteriorate
without any interference over time. This usually causes orangeish tint in your photo. 3) Fungal growth. You can't avoid these tiny
lifeforms - they will cause brownish discoloration to your photos. Most fungi like damp and dark places, so keeping your photos as dry as possible helps prevent fungal build up.
Whatever happened to your colors, AutoSplitter offers automatic photo correction features
which efficiently fights against all these aging effects. Revitalize colors feature will bring your old, faded or yellowed photos back
to life. Even black and white photos are going to be much more vivid after revitalization.
You can also change contrast and saturation
values of your scanned photos. Increased contrast will make photos more lively, while increased saturation will make colors pop out even more.
Experiment with the automatic color correction options: different photos need different treatment. Remember to revise your settings periodically,
something that worked with your previous batch of photos might not be as ideal for the next batch.
Feel free to check out these image recovery before & after samples in this section: see how AutoSplitter restored colors of deteriorated photos.
Starting from v1.13 this photo scanning software lets you can adjust scanner brightness and contrast to further improve quality of your scans. It is recommended to slightly increase contrast and decrease brightness for crispier images.
Yet another feature of this photo scanning software is captioning and meta tagging. Responding to popular request you can now add text captions under your scanned photos.
Caption font, color and background color can be changed to
suit your taste.
Scan multiple photos at once, then caption them just before saving to disc. Text captions are a useful tool to preserve and relive even more memories. You can add dates, locations and names of friends and relatives who have been captured in the photo.
See example captioned photo to the left.
DOWNLOAD
Meta tags are useful information embedded inside the image file itself. These tags are invisible on the photo, but many image editing and cataloging software can display and use these tags to make the image easier to find. You can save your captions as visible captions (see above) or metadata information or BOTH.
Windows will index metadata information of your scanned photos and will help you find the images. This is what I get when I type Zürich
into the Windows search bar - see screenshot on the left.
Furthermore, Windows Explorer will display these captions saved into the file when hovering over them with the mouse or when observing the file properties, or selecting an image file with the View/Details pane enabled. For JPEG and TIF files annotations are saved as exif metadata. EXIF support is widespread accross all image software. Metadata is also saved for PNG files, but it's a different format (IDAT chunks), with limited 3rd party support. Windows Explorer will only display metadata of JPG and TIF files. Other image software may or may not support these tags. Please verify your options if you are planning to use this great feature.
DOWNLOAD
There are several useful features to help you scanning all your old family photos.
- Save images in 2 different formats at once. For example JPEG and TIF.
- Manual adjustments allowed to finetune automatic photo detection.
- Popup zoom at your mouse pointer to let you finetune photo splitting more accurately.
- One click to rotate scanned photos by 90, 180 or 270 degrees to restore original photo alignment.
- One click to flip photos vertically or horizontally.
- Zoom In to let you observe the scanned image in 100% size - every pixel counts.
- Full page scan feature to let you scan letters, documents or very large photos easily.
DOWNLOAD
This method requires a bit of preparation. Group your photos by size: ideally you will want to scan 4 photos of identical size in each pass.
- Put one photo in each corner of your flatbed scanner's document window.
- Make sure the checkbox "preserve splits" is checked in AutoSplitter.
- Click the Scan button and see your photos being autodetected and cropped. If you need to, adjust the cropping areas.
- Click Save All to write the individual photographs to disc.
- Repeat from step #1 - from now on AutoSplitter will reuse the highlighted areas for cropping and extracting the freshly scanned photos.
What is different in this workflow? Detection of photos is only done once - and then the results are carried over for all subsequent scanning passes. This method guarantees that all your photo detections will be accurate as long as you scan photos of identical size. This scanning process is optimal, you don't need to wait for the photo scanning software to autodetect photos again after each scan. This method will also guarantee that photos are always detected very accurately.
AutoSplitter will scan and auto-detect any rectangular object of roughly photograph size. Therefore this software is ideal for
scanning trading cards, postcards, baseball cards and other printed collectibles as well. Full page scan functionality available for capturing letters and documents.
DOWNLOAD
AutoSplitter multiple photo scanning software is Windows compatible. The software should work with all flatbed scanners through WIA and/or TWAIN interface. Please update your scanner's driver software package if you experience compatibility issues. Open files of TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG or BMP. Save all of these except BMP. DPI information will be preserved when loading/scanning images in all cases when the output format supports EXIF metadata. This comes handy in case you would ever want to reproduce your scans in print. Captions saved to EXIF metadata for JPEG and TIF, into IDAT chunks for PNG.

Photo Scanning Tips and Tricks
Almost every family has old family photos.
Some of them are pasted on thick embossed cardboard and decorated with “branded” inscriptions with yats and curls, others have turned yellow with time, with broken corners and a not very clear image - obviously amateur shots. There are also photos of excellent quality, obviously taken in the studio. All of them are stored in thick albums, and sometimes just in shoe or candy boxes. You have long wanted to scan old photos of , and now it turned out to be a free day off - you can get to work.
You should immediately warn: Scanning photos will take you a lot of time, especially if there are a lot of them. Even with a modern, sensitive scanner, the quality of a digital image will never be better than a paper photograph. Oddly enough, vintage daguerreotypes produce excellent image quality with photo scans: price and the photograph was then rather big, and only professional photographers took them.
Do not load photos of different quality into the scanner at the same time: It is desirable to scan black-and-white photos separately from color ones, since different scanning parameters are used.
The resolution of the scanner should be no less than 200 dpi, preferably 300-400 dpi - in this case, when scanning old photographs, even the smallest details of the image will be captured. But it is also undesirable to set a resolution that is too high - large files may not open correctly in a graphics editor. nine0005
Scanning multiple photos
When scanning multiple photos at the same time, proceed as follows: place photos in the scanner that are approximately the same in terms of brightness and clarity of images and start pre-scanning photo . Having received a preliminary image, select one photo, set the optimal parameters for it and scan it, then do the same with the next one, etc., and only then remove all the photos from the scanner. But the process in any case will take you several hours, and one album can take a whole day. If the archive is quite large, it makes sense to think about entrusting this work to professionals. nine0005
The cost of services for scanning photos
Asking how much it costs to scan a photo , for example, at REDOX, you will see that in relation to the laboriousness of the home process , the cost of scanning photos is quite an acceptable amount.
We should not forget that the image quality will be higher when using a professional scanner and appropriate software. In addition, poorly preserved old photos will be restored here to an acceptable level, smoothing out defects and increasing image clarity. In the same company, you can order photo film scanning - not all home scanners have this feature.
Of course, if you are not limited in time, and the process gives you pleasure, you can spend several days scanning photos. The price of questions is only your personal time and the ability to work with image processing programs. But do not forget that professionals will do this work much faster and better.

Importing scanned images
Scanner software and drivers are supplied by the scanner manufacturer, not by Adobe. If you have problems scanning, make sure you are using the latest version of the scanner software and driver.
Scanning and importing images from a separate scanning application
Most scanners come with a separate scanning application that you can use to scan and save images.
If the scanner manufacturer has not provided updated software and drivers that are compatible with current operating system versions, third-party scanning solutions may be required. The following third-party utilities are specialized scanning solutions and are more suitable for scanning a large amount of important material:
- VueScan
- Silverfast
Using a dedicated scanning application allows you to retouch and edit images in Photoshop while scanning is in the background, which can increase efficiency.
If you are using a separate scanning application, save your scanned images as TIFF, then open them in Photoshop.
Some versions of the scanner software allow you to specify Photoshop as the external image editor after scanning is completed. Check the documentation that came with your scanner or contact the scanner manufacturer for more information. nine0005
