Scan multiple photos to separate files at once

[quiller]

I want to scan multiple photos at once and have each saved as a separate file name.  I've tried the Detect Edges which did not work.  I get the Blue Corner cropping tool but it only works on one photo in the multi image group.  How do I do this?

@quiller, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you are trying to save multiple photos separately. You may save this as PDF but not in JPG format.

If you need it in JPG format, you have to scan it individually.

Use the HP Smart app to create a PDF of a scanned document.

1. Click the Scan tile on the HP Smart app home screen.

2. Click Get Started.

   NOTE: 

   The Get Started screen displays when you select Scan, Import, or Camera for the first time.

3. Select an option from the top menu bar.

   • Scanner: Place the original on the printer scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF). Select scan job type, size, color, and resolution settings, and then click Scan in the lower right corner.

   • Import: Select photos saved on the computer to apply a boundary, and then use the settings to edit, print, and share.

   • Camera: Uses the computer camera or a webcam to capture, edit, and print or share a photo or document.

   

4. Adjust the boundaries, by clicking and dragging the blue dots, and then click Apply.

5. For multi-page documents, click + Add in the Preview window to return to the Scan window. Load the next page onto the scanner glass or capture it with the camera.

   Repeat this process until all the pages of the document are scanned.

6. In the Preview window, click Save or Share, and then change the file name and select Basic PDF as the file type.

   

7. Click Save to save the PDF to a folder on the computer, or click Share for options to email or share the file.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Kumar, Thank you for your response, but I do know how to scan photographs using the HP Smart App.  I'm disappointed that a relatively simple capability such as scanning multiple images to separate files is not available in this product.  My 9 Year Old Canoscan 9000f Mk II does this quite well in a project I did this weekend.  Looks like I'll be running two my HP and Canon products for some time.  As to accepting your response as The Solution - ah, No.  There is no solution, you've only provided me information and I thank you for that.
