Scanning Multiple Photos with HP Scanner
Apr 4, 2018 10:02:31 #
I've been looking online and haven't found a solution to this yet, so I thought perhaps a fellow hogger might have an idea of how to get HP's scanning software to split photos scanned as TIF files into separate files. If you scan to JPG it will output individual files for each photo identified. Scanning to TIF yields a multi-page TIF file that I'm having trouble splitting. I want to do some post processing on these, so JPG is not the ideal format to work with.
Thanks in advance for any clues,

Not the answer you seek BUT if it was me I would scan in jpg at full density then use Bridge/ImageProcessorPro to convert to tiff in a batch.

I hadn't thought about Bridge...I don't currently use it, but have access to it in my subscription. I found a temporary fix...Paint Shop Pro opens each image in a tab, which I can "Save As" from, but it's tedious.
I can also load them into Acrobat, and then split them, but that is even more tedious.

Update: One of my old stand-byes, IrfanView does this pretty well. Problem solved for now, but any other tips for scanning large quantities of prints efficiently are welcome.

What scanning software are you using? You may need to open the big TIFF file in Photoshop and cut the images into smaller ones.

I'm using the software that came with the device (HP OfficeJet Pro). The software automatically crops the individual photos and does a pretty good job of it actually. When saved, the individual photos are stored as a multi-page TIFF file. Photoshop only displays the first image or page in the stack unless there is something I missed there. The PaintShop Pro method is working pretty well for now. The good TIFF splitters I've found are in the $30 range, which is a bit steep for that single function (at least to me).

You might want to give this app a try: https://autosplitter.com/
It will split multiple photos into single ones, and store them to your specified location. It also has a number of adjustment tools. I believe its only around $20 bucks. Works great. About 90% accuracy but when it misses it's very easy to correct with their tool set.
