Dividing Scanned Image into Separate Photos

I would like to divide a scanned image into separate photos. I understand Photoshop Elements can do this under Images > Divide Scanned Image. But, I can't find this command in Photoshop CS5. Without it being done automaticaly how can I divide the image using CS5? Thanks.

  • Need help editing scanned images of old photo album pages PSE 9

    Before I begin this project, I thought I'd get some advice from someone who has undertaken a similar project.  I have three photo albums from the 50's and 60's.  The albums were made by my mother who mounted the photos (mostly black and white but some color photos) on construction paper (of various colors) using the corner holders or glue.  She hand cut the construction paper so each page is not a perfect rectangle ( about 11" tall, 8.5" wide).  The pages were punched and put into a three-ring binder. 
    She added text to the edge of the photo and/or to the construction paper.  Each page contains one to 6 photos and text.  Each album has about 120 pages.  I want to keep the notes on the construction paper so I scanned each page into a TIF files, 400 dpi and stored the images in a separate folder for each volume. 
    I use (poorly) PSE 9.  I see it has a auto straighten/crop feature that can be used one photo at a time.  I tried the divide scanned images function and that did not fully separate all images on the page and also created an image for stray objects on the page such as an unused corner holder.  (I know those things have a better name but it escapes me now.) 
    I plan to create photo books for my siblings.  I am now thinking of cropping the image of each page (rather than each photo on the page) into a uniform size, adjusting levels, contrast and sharpness, saving this image to a JPEG file, and using these edited JPEG images to create the photo book.  Since each page was hand-cut, there will areas of white where one page was torn or cut smaller than another page.  Some pages will have blanks where old photos have been lost leaving behind only the corner things.  It won't be perfect but it will be an image of the album as it exists today. 
    My questions are: 
    The pages are about 11 by 8.5.  Does anyone know a photo service that prints photo albums in a portrait layout in this size?  I  have been unable to find one; it looks like most online photo books are wider rather than taller. 
    Let's assume I use a company such as Shutterfly that offers a 12x12 format.  I assume it would be better to edit the images in PSE9 rather than any online software.  What should I do to keep the proportions in the current images true but make the image fit a 12x12 page, for example? 
    IS there any other editing software anyone can recommend that will speed this up, hopefully a software that would take multiple photos at one time, auto-straighten and auto crop to a set size?  And also auto contrast/level/sharp.  If I could use such auto features on these images and then go back and adjust the photos that did not play well with the auto features, that would save me time. 
    I appreciate anyone's input.  I dread doing this but we have one set of photos and 5 siblings so it has to be done.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Mentioning your issues one by one:
    1) PSE does not have any portrait Photobook available, so your thought was the best way to get the work done is by choosing the 12x12 - shutterfly one.
    2) PSe does a good job of editing the images. You can set your images of approx. 11x8  size to fit to the 12x12 page. Just choose a one photo page Layout for the page and then right click on the image to " Fit photo in the frame".
    3) If more edits are required for the image, you can easily go to Advanced mode and edit your photos, layouts, move the frames, images or add effects to the images.
    4) Photo book creation sure takes time. because, you want it to be the best. I am sure PSE would help you best here.
    Go ahead and create you photobook. Inc ase you get stuck somewhere, you can always post here to get help!
    Cheers,
    Swarnima

  • Using photoshop elements 13 but the option to crop a single image is grayed out and also the option to crop a scanned image into individual pictures is grayed out - any ideas?

    The option to crop an image is always grayed out or unavailable - both for single images and when I want to crop scanned images into individual pictures. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

    Did you try using the crop tool to see if it is working?  See the tool I am talking about.
    I suspect you are in Guided Mode rather than in Quick Mode or Expert Mode.

  • Why is the preview or scan images as separate files grayed out? When it was working just fine before

    I have windows 8...I have been using this scanner for about a month. My scan/fax/printer is a Brother MFC-8910DW. This is what brothers website says regarding this make and model. "Scan multi-page documents using the 50-page capacity auto document
    feeder or use the legal-size document glass for bound materials." For the Full month it has been scanning multiple pages using Microsoft scan a document or picture. I tried to scan this morning and it will now only let me scan ONE page at a time.(( I
    have to scan over 800 pages!!) On the lower left corner there is a box I was able to click previously it says preview or scan images as separate files. It is now grayed out and I am unable to select it. I know for a fact it has nothing to do with my printer
    because I use it for a month and it worked beautifully. Please could someone help with this issue?

    Hi,
    For this issue, I would suggest you update to the latest printer driver, if you have any other related printer\scanner programs installed, please make sure that you have the latest version or reinstall as a test.
    It's recommended to contact the manufacture for members there are more familiar with this product

  • How to divide an image into 100+ grids

    Hi
    I have a problem here;
    I need to divide an image into 100 or more grids on client side and I need to get the id of a clicked grid on server side. I found some mapping ways but it seemed too hard to achieve. I achieved to get coordinates of mouse click but this time if user uses control button + mouse scroll, all coordinates of the image changes. Can anyone offer me a solution.

    ı am working on adf faces they wanted me to do that on server side. But I am very new at this and I am really confused right now. How can I map 100+ sub images like one big image. I saw some examples on web but they include just two or three mappings but how to do this mapping with many?? I tried to do this by taking coordinates of click and calculating which grid is clicked but everything fails if user resizes the window.
    If there is a way to do that I was thinking of storing path of every grid on a list at server side and putting an image on the screen for every element of that list and by this way I could easly get which grid is clicked by just taking the id of clicked image. Can anyone help me to do this.???

  • Scan images into Forms app / Twain scanner

    Can you provide your thoughts on how to have a Form ***QUICKLY*** scan and crop passport photo size images from a scanner
    Speed of data entry is essential so I would like to minimize the total time and keep the mouse and key click count down.
    I would like to do as much as possible within the form window. Scanning directly into an image on the form would be nice as the current app does this via a Twain scan
    The scanned image will be stored in a file (either on the Forms application server or in the client MS-Windows file system ). The file name will be stored in the database and displayed in the form. Im not sure if the image needs to be displayed in the form window or not.
    The scanned images are passport sized photos of face.
    The user needs to make minimum changes to the photo - usually only cropping.
    Are there any Java beans that will help do this ? Should I use OLE via WEB_UTIL ? Any other ideas ?
    Thanks
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Environment : Forms 10g (9.0.4.0.19), Database 10gr2, Window client, Linux / Unix application server, scanners are Twain compatible or can scan to file.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Thanks - that is the info I was hoping for.
    There are Forms java bean solutions from two different people on that page. Ill try and get in touch with them and see if I can sponge the code off them.
    In the meantime, please post more suggestions if you have them

  • I need help dividing an image into two equal parts in Adobe Illustrator CC--ASAP!!!

    I need help dividing a single, already created image into 2 equal parts...Am getting nowhere so far

    Hi Willi, thanks so much for responding! Below is the image I need to divide in half. The left half where it says "Click here for the definition" links to a landing page where people can read the definition of the Hebrew Word. The right half links to an audio recording of the Hebrew word being spoken aloud. I am trying to figure out how to use the scissors or knife tool in Adobe Illustrator and am having no luck. Plus I believe there's a way to include URLs on each separated part, but I can't get past figuring out how to cut it. My background is not graphic design

  • VBA code to import scanned images into Photoshop CS2 with TWAIN

    Hi,
    I have to develop a solution that automates the scanning of an image using the TWAIN driver interface. Once scanned, the image appears as a new document in Photoshop where it will be further processed using VBScript scripts.
    The solution so far :
    Using the freeware 'EZTW32.dll' (copied into C:\WINDOWS\System\), I am able to open the TWAIN scan dialogue on screen, using the function 'TWAIN_AcquireToClipboard(Me.Hwnd, nPixTypes) from the 'EZTW32' dll.
    Once the image is scanned, the TWAIN driver is automatically closed, leaving the scanned image on the Windows clipboard.
    I then launch Photoshop CS2 using a shell code :
    (It is important that Photoshop runs minimized)
    Dim strPathname As String
    Dim lngShellReturn As Long
    Dim appRef As Object
    Dim newDocRef
    strPathname = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe"
    lngShellReturn = Shell(strPathname, vbMinimizedNoFocus)
    Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
    When Photoshop is running, then a new document is created and the scanned image is pasted into the document from the Windows clipboard...
    Set newDocRef = Documents.Add(8.268, 11.693, 600, "New Doc")
    newDocRef.Paste
    OK, this works up to a point. The newly scanned image appears automatically in Photoshop.
    The big problem is that when the user makes a change in resolution or draws a selection box in the TWAIN dialog, this data is not recovered from TWAIN, so the image size parameters in the new document cannot be set.
    A beter solution would be to write code that emulates the menu commands in Photoshop CS2:
    File -> Import -> [Current Scanner]
    that launches the TWAIN driver for the current scanner (the code must close TWAIN immediately after scanning). In this case, the resolution and image selection parameters are also imported into the new document.
    I am currently refering to the Photoshop CS2 SDK. Do I need to request the Advanced SDK ?
    Once beyond this point, then I think I can continue the image processing routines using VBScript as per the SDK.
    Any help or other pointers to the TWAIN problem would be VERY APPRECIATED !
    Lars

    PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST !
    I have now fully resolved the TWAIN problem. It works perfectly and is very robust. I am now continuing with the batch image processing for the newly scanned images using the Photoshop CS2 SDK scripting documents, that I find very detailed, well written, and VERY helpful :)
    Peace and love,
    Lars

  • Batch/ Droplet processing images into separate folders.

    Hi Guys,
    I'm after some guidance with batch processing some images. I've recently finished a catalog with 700+ images and I'd like to create an index for future use.
    I would like to have an action which allows me to save a general purpose size image for e-mailing to customers as well as a thumbnail size image for photo invoices. This I could do normally by making two seperate actions for the two, but there is an issue with the categories of image types.
    Within the catalog the images are of products, and thus are related to a brand. I would like to index the images into a brand based folder, and then into seperate folders for thumbnails and general use.
    So essentially, the workflow would be something along the lines of
    Create New Folder for Brand/ Category
         Open Image
         Resize for General Use
         Save Image As... in Brand > General Use
         Resize for Thumbnail
         Save Image As... in Brand > Thumbnails
         Close
         Repeat for all images in category.
    Create New Folder for new Brand Category
         Open Image
    .... Etc etc.
    Also, is there a way to select a resizing of an image by it's longest/ shortest edge within an action/ droplet? I know Image Processor has this capability but it seems strange there is no ability within an action.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, suggestions for work arounds etc etc...
    Will

    Also, is there a way to select a resizing of an image by it's longest/ shortest edge within an action/ droplet? I know Image Processor has this capability but it seems strange there is no ability within an action.
    Actions have no conditionals, so you may want to look into Scripting which could also handle saving copies to the various target Forlders.

  • Photography - cutting out images into new photo

    Can anyone suggest an easy app to use to cut a images out of 1 photo and put it into another photo. I have an iPad and MacBook . Jane

    Thank you wade I will have a go!
    UPDATE: yes that's good. I created a "sunray" using a line which I transformed to have as many lines as the mesh I used (actualy it had half the number plus 1 for the lower half of the sunray, then repeated the operation fo an identical line on top of the first but wit the ange of transformation = to 360 - the angle of the first line's transformation) and made the line long enough to get the perspective right, this I then used as a guide to move the mesh lines. The only thing I would have liked is to a) lock the verticalsin the mesh so I didn't move them inadvertently and b) if I could have moved the beginning and end point of a mesh horizontal and said now redrawn the line between these two points it would have been quicker. (I was using illustrator)

  • How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

    I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

    For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
    You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

  • How To Place/Open Multiple Images Into Separate Layers For ONE Document?

    I've been searching for the answer for a long time so I figured that someone here has to know.  I have PS Elements 9. 
    So I would like to make GIFs and I know how to do so, the problem is placing in those tens of files in layers (it's tedious).  Is there a way to select multiple image files to place into a single document?  And for them to be place into its own layer?  I've tried dragging and selecting from the Open/Place menus (won't allow), SHIFT + Direction Key from the Open/Place menus (won't allow), tried opening them to drag on the Organizer and to drag from the Project Bin (again won't allow), and I've read tutorials where they say to use scripts and actions but I'm not sure what to download them in order for them to work and the links are broken anyway.
    An example of what I'd like to do:
    Open and place in 15+ screenshots into layers but in just one document.
    Each screenshot would be one layer in said document.
    ...rest of GIF process...
    I feel like there's an easier way to get this without placing in each one at a time.  I remember being able to do this on a old PS (though not Elements).  Thanks for any help.

    The quickest method is probably opening all images together from Full Edit:
    File >> Open
    Then navigate to the folder and use shift+click to select a block of files.
    The images will appear in the photo bin. Drag and drop each one into the main editing window and a separate layer will be created for each.

  • Dividing an image into Hexagonal Grid

    Hi Guys,
    I have an image of a human body which needs to divided into Hexagonal Grid pattern and the hexagons should be highlighted on mouse rollover and also clicks. It will be time consuming if I make these hexagons manually coz they will around 1000 in numbers.
    Also, I need to zoom the hexagons on clicks. Could you suggest me a way to do this?
    Thank you.

    you'll need to use the bitmapdata class if you don't want the part of the grid that's outside the body to be visible.
    the best place to check for tutorials is via google.  i'm not sure you'll find anything specific to your current task.  you might need to learn about the bitmapdata class and take it from there.

  • Getting images into iPhoto photo stream. how?

    I've imported an image from my desktop to iPhoto. i try to drag it to photo stream from the last import or events windows but photo stream won't accept it. how do i get it in there?

    I ended up doing a manual rebuild. There must have indeed been a file or folder corruption or something. I will rebuild the albums, and it looks like everything will be fine. Thanks.
