Rather than scanning one photo at a time to create digital files of older photos, I scanned multiple photos at once.  The re

sult was a page of pictures in Photoshop linked as one file.  The dilema as to how to separate them individually to work with and save them, appeared to be a tedious chore of using the marqee tool to cut them out, creating

layers of various pictures….you get the idea!  Much to my joyous surprise, Photoshop has a very amazing tool under the File pull down menu.  Simply go to Automate then Crop and Straighten.  Make sure you are on the root layer containing all your pictures and Photoshop does the rest.  Each picture will be a separate file to work

with.  When scanning, make sure there is a space around each picture to make

it easier for Photoshop to differentiate the photos.  Once you have made your adjustments or manipulated your photos, do not forget to name and save your photo

before closing.  Now you are ready to archive all those older photographs and priceless memories!
