I am preparing a collage of old photos for a funeral tomorrow (my husband's grandmother)....I have scanned about 20 photos on my wide format scanner. I am cropping one at a time to augment them and save them, every time I do one... the entire scan.. with all 20 photos disappears off the desktop and I have to rescan it. What am I doing wrong??
I so confused....  |

Scan, then save that doc. Then duplicate the origianl doc each time to crop.
or...
This might be a perfect job for File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos. It's automatic, so... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Try it. |

Agreed, scan the document and save it on your hard drive. As a "safety precaution", I'd save it again as a #2, so if you named your first scan "scanned photos" then your second one (#2) would be "scanned photos 2". This way, if you accidently saved over your original scan ("scanned photos"), then you still have "scanned photos 2" in it's original format with all the scanned images on it.

AS ABOVE REALLY, IF YOU HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES, SCAN YOUR IMAGE SAY TO C DRIVE YOUR PRIMARY DRIVE, NAME THIS DOCUMENT WHATEVER YOU WANT, THEN IF YOU DO HAVE A SECOND HARD DRIVE JUST COPY THE FOLDER ONTO YOUR 2ND HARD DRIVE.
WHEN YOU OPEN UP THE FILE GO TO FILE>AUTOMATE>CROP AND STRAIGHTEN PHOTOS. THIS WILL THEN CROP AND STRAIGHTEN THE INDIVIDUAL IMAGES, AT THIS POINT JUST SAVE THEM TO A DIFFERENT FOLDER NAME. AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL 20 IMAGES COPY THAT FOLDER TO YOUR 2ND HARD DRIVE IF YOU HAVE ONE.
THIS IS THE WAY I PREFER TO DO MY WORK, BUT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, I EVEN COPY THE ORIGINALS AND ENHANCED IMAGES TO MY 2 OTHER EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES.
YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE WITH YOUR IMAGES. ONCE LOST IT WILL BE NEVER REPLACED.

If you have CS you can place as many photos that will fit on the scanner (leave a little room between them) then go to File / Automate / crop and straighten photos. it separates them and...straightens them...waiting to be saved.
