Title: Snapshot scanning
Post by: PeterAit on October 31, 2025, 09:46:28 am

I have hundreds of color snapshots from back in the days of film. I want to scan a lot of them but what a chore - I have an Epson Perfection 750. I have vague memories of scanning software that would let you scan as many prints as would fit on the scanner glass, then automatically save them as separate files. Anyone know what program this is?

Or just shoot them with a DSLR with a copy stand type arrangement. You can grab the images as fast as you can swap the prints over.

Peter, if by any chance you still have the negatives associated with those photos, you'll get much better quality outcomes camera-scanning the negatives and converting/editing them using NegativeLabPro in Lightroom.
