Scanning Multiple Photos into Separate Files on a MacBook with an Epson Printer Scanner

You can scan multiple photos at once and save them as separate files using your Epson printer scanner and MacBook. Here’s how to do it:

Using Epson Scan Software

  1. Open Epson Scan: Launch the Epson Scan software installed on your MacBook.
  2. Select “Home” or “Professional Mode”: Choose either “Home Mode” or “Professional Mode” for more control over the scanning process.
  3. Place Photos on Scanner: Place your photos on the scanner glass, ensuring they are spaced apart so the software can recognize them as separate items.
  4. Preview Scan:
    1. Click the “Preview” button to scan and display the images on the glass.
    2. The software should automatically detect multiple photos and draw boxes around each one. If not, adjust the selection areas manually.
  5. Scan Settings:
    1. Set the desired scan resolution, color settings, and file format (JPEG, PNG, etc.).
    2. Ensure the option for “Save each image separately” or similar is selected.
  6. Scan:
    1. Click the “Scan” button, and the software will save each detected photo as a separate file.

Using Mac's Built-in Preview App

  1. Open Preview: Launch the Preview app on your MacBook.
  2. File > Import from Scanner: Select your Epson printer from the “Import from Scanner” option.
  3. Place Photos on Scanner: Place multiple photos on the scanner glass.
  4. Preview Scan:
    1. Click “Overview” or “Preview” to initiate a preliminary scan.
    2. Preview will try to detect the separate photos on the glass. If it doesn’t, manually adjust the selection around each photo.
  5. Adjust and Scan:
    1. For each detected photo, adjust the selection manually if needed.
    2. Click “Scan” to save each photo individually.

This process should allow you to scan multiple photos in one go and save them as separate files.
