Dividing scanned photos on one scan

I was using PSE6 and just installed PSE12. I work alot with pictures and the option in editor/image to divide multiple photos in one scan does not work. It is pale in print and does not have an arrow like the other choices.
I have a HP PC using Windows 7 and a scanner that worked just fine, Canon LIDE.

You need to be in Expert mode.

Elements 11 Divide Scanned Photos Function, can it work with scanner cover open?

I do a lot of scanning of where three items fit on the platen at one time. In the previous versions of Element this function worked, not automatically, but it worked with the cover open or closed, and it is much faster to scan with the cover open.
Is there some way I can adjust the sensitity of this function to be more sensitive or less senstive to backround color?
Thanks in advance,
jj

Hi ,
There is no option of changing sensitivity of Background color option in Divide scan photos In E11.
But one thing - Divide scanned photos works based on image resolution, so if your scanner output resolution is high , it works too sensitive and if output resolution is low it works less sensitive.
thanks,

Scan in mutiple photos in one file, can I crop multiple photos...

at same time?
I don't know how to scan multiple photos as distinct file. I scan 5-6 pics it comes out at one file that I import into iPhoto. While it's very easy to crop each photo out of the file, I have to import the file as many times as there are photos
to crop.
I hope I've been clear. Is there a smarter way to work. I don't see a way to scan
the 5-6 pics as different files in my scanner software.
Thanks

Joshua:
Vuescan is a 3rd party scanning application which can do batch scanning but is a little more difficult to set up. It works with most scanners.
If you have a Canon scanner you can scan in multiple photos at one time and have the scanner software crop, not as close as I'd like, each one individually and present to you in the editor of your choice or the one that comes with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Divide Scanned Photos: possible to salvage when background is white?

Hi! I think Divide Scanned Photos feature is amazing!
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/cropping.html#divide_a_scanned_image_conta ining_multiple_photos
for those scans I put black construction paper in the rear, it works like a charm.
however, my mom scanned multiple photos prior to us finding Elements and did not use a dark background.
Is there any way to salvage this or is it too late?
when we attempt to Divide Scanned Photos on a set of B&W photos with a white background, no luck.
PSE11 just spits out a copy of the same photo

Hi ,
If PSE only make a copy of the original image it means it does not able to find the edges.
It should be scanned with dark background which clearly alienated the images seperately .
you can try "divide scan photos" feature after increasing the resolution of the image .
1)Go to Image menu >> resize >> Image size
2)check on the resample check box.
3)Increase the resolution .
4)try again "Divide scan Photos"
if still it does not do anything , try to seperate the images using selection > layer via cut , crop etc .
thanks,

Is Divide Scanned Photos disabled in Elements 11 Trial?

Is Divide Scanned Photos disabled in Elements 11 Trial?
Thanks

Thanks, I had been using Elements 5 and just upgraded to Win7.Using the same scanner on XP and 5 I could divide scanned photos even if I left the scanner cover up. In 11 I have not been able to do that...I do a high volume of scanning so I like not to have to put the top down.
Using Document Color Auto Detect Multiple and with the cover down, 11 automatically divided scanned photos, but not with other settings, but 5 did not automatically divide.

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.

File -> Automate -> Crop and Straighten Photos

Divide scanned photos

There seems to be a menu option to "divide scanned photos". However, there doesn't actually seem to be any help to do so.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

To start it you need to make a single scan of multiple photos. For best results skew them at an angle from each other.
You then use the divide feature and it will create separate straightened versions of each photo.

PSE 11 Divide Scanned Photos is not active

I scanned a number of photos and when I went into editor>image and the divide scanned photos was not an active choice. It was on the menu but I couldn't select it. I scanned a number of times to include setting the pictures at an angle just to be sure it could be detected. It used to work in PSE 9
I am using an HP office jet Pro 8600 premium.
OS is windows 7

That was absolutely the correct answer. I was in Quick mode. In Expert mode, it works but not as well as in PSE9. I really have to off set the photos to get them picked up separately. I just need to experiment more.
Thanks for the help

Can the process multiple pictures tool work with the divide scanned pictures tool?

A friend scanned a few dozen photo's & asked me to make them into a slide show. The problem is that the 4x6 photos were scanned onto A4 size & not put squarely onto the scanner. This means that the pictures are not only at the wrong angle but all have to be rotated. to different degree.
I know that I can use the divide scanned photos tool to crop them one at a time. Is there any way to use the process multiple picture to do all pf these pictures in one batch & perhaps have it also do an autofix at the same time?

JSplitPane - Divider only moves to one direction.

Hi!
I've got a question concerning a JSplitPane I'm using in my program. I add an objecte to each of my sides. On the left I have a Canvas3d (from Java3d) and on the right a JPanel.
Now my problem is, that the divider only moves to one direction. I've made it oneTouchExpandable and I've set the dividerLocation to 80%.
An earlier posting says, I have to set the minimumSize of my components, but my Canvas3d (inherits from a AWT-Canvas) doesn't have the method Canvas.setMinimumSize(Dimension);
Does anybody see a way out of this? Thanks for any help,
joerg

Hi Armyguy:
To calibrated the screen. Go to all programs find this file. PC Help &Tools click it and then click on HP Calibrations Utility click yes in next screen. You can also find it this way. In computers program search box type in HP Calibrations Utility and run it.
You may also have a bad malware run your Antivirus software scan as well. See if that detects and deletes any thing. If you have Microsoft Security Essential its scan. If not it is free , It detects and moves malware what antivirus do not pickup on Down Loaded from MSN.com. You also want to check your keyboard and see if some thing is pressing the keys. I know that some times if I have something laying on the keyboard it effects the mouse. You can also troubleshoot the mouse in HP Support Assistant . Open up HP Support Assistant click Troubleshoot then click around the computer Cilck on Keyboard and Mouse and other devices tab. Both mouse and keyboard are listed.

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I'm sorry. I got a little off-the-wall there.
I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines. A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both. Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook. Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac. I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail. I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
I didn't write anything down. I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work. So I gave that up.
Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same. The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think.

Photoshop Elements 10 evenly dividing a photo.

How do a evenly divide a photo so the two half can be saved and matched up after printing. I am trying to print a photo that is larger then my printer's capacity.

Hi there,
1. Choose View > Rulers
2. Click and drag from the left ruler to the middle of your document. The line will "snap" to the center of the image when you get close.
3. Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool and drag from the top left of your image to where the center line meets the bottom of the image. This will make a selection of half of your image.
4. Right-click on your selection and choose Layer via copy to make a new layer with a copy of the left half of the image.
5. Select your Background layer and REPEAT the above steps for the right-half of your image, again choosing to create a new Layer via copy for the right-half.
6. When you have two halves of your image on separate layers, choose one of them and choose Duplicate layer
7. Under destination, choose New... this will open up a new document with half of your image.
8. Choose the Crop tool and bring in the side to meet the halfway point, thus trimming the empty part from your image. The crop tool should snap to the edge of your photo area easily.
9. Hit Enter (Return) on your keyboard or check the ok button and you should be left with half of your image, which you can save or print! REPEAT the above steps for the second half of your image.
I hope this helps you out.
Michael

Dividing a photo into 2 or 4 even sections in Elements 10

How would i go about dividing a photo into 2or 4 even separate photos that can be assembled back together? i am working on an art project that i need to transfer a large photo but my printer only prints 8x10 so i want to divide photo into 4 and reassemble on canvas.

Brad, It wasn't clear if you want to cut the picture into pieces jig-saw style so that the whole is the sum of its parts. If so here is one way using Elements 2 (maybe newer versions have ways of doing this more easily). In this example I cut the picture into 3 parts using the Lasso. 1. Select part 1. 2. Select > Save Selection: give the selection a name (e.g., part 1). 3. Copy/paste selection to new layer (Layer 1 in my example). 4. Activate Background layer. 5. Select > Reselect, and invert the selection. 7. Holding down <Alt>, use Lasso to delete all but part 2. 8. Select > Save Selection: give the selection a name (e.g., part 2). 9. Copy/paste selection to new layer (Layer 2 in example). 10. Activate Background layer. 11. Select > Reselect. 12. Select > Load Selection: In the Selection pull-down menu choose part 1 and check the "Add to Selection" box. The selection will now consist of parts 1 & 2. 13. Invert the selection to give part 3 and copy/paste to new layer (Layer 3 in example). The 3 pieces are in separate layers with transparent background. To save each piece turn off visibility of the other layers. http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1Q7SCAqb8IbQhcV6OdIWvj24WkzB5 Note that for just 2 parts it is much easier; you don't need the Save Selection steps: 1. Select part 1 and copy/paste to new layer. 2. Activate Background layer. 3. Select > Reselect, invert the selection, and copy/paste to new layer.

How can I moving photos from one roll to an other

I tried to drag and drop photos from one roll to an other. If the roll has a lot of photos (e.g. 250) I can not scroll down to a roll below. iPhotos does not automatically scroll down when I try to drag them down.
How can I scroll or move these down?
thanks for your input
Baguette

Drag and drop will work, but you have to drag to the roll title. It will turn blue when you can drop the photos. It should scroll when you move to the top or bottom of the window, but sometimes it gets going really fast and is hard to stop where you want it.
An easy way is to close the rolls and make everything as small as possible so the the source and destination rolls are all in the window at the same time. Of course if you have a really big library this might work.

How do I move photos from one library to another?

I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
