I have a HP Envy 6455e scanning pictures to a folder.

[Hazey342]

I have a HP Envy 6455e and I have many pictures to scan - when I scan a picture i then go to the save the scanned picture the next prompt is what folder to save it to.. when i click on the folder i want and save the picture - it does not go to the folder i went to save it to but creates a new folder in the folder i selected... I just want to save the picture i scab to a particular folder and not create a new folder in that folder with the picture i scanned.  There must be a way to just save the picture or multiple pictures I am scanning to the folder itself without having a new folder?

I think the behavior has much to do with the software / application you are using to open, view, configure, and submit the job to the printer.

At the moment, I can't find where "new folder" is a default.

My initial conclusion:  Yes, it is possible to scan and save without creating a new folder each time.

That said, there are many print and scan programs and applications.

Next,

Place one or more photos on the printer flatbed, "picture" side down

Each photo should be separated from others by an inch or more on each side

Open HP Scan

Select to "Save as JPEG"

Set main menu options, including Page Size = "Detect Photos"
