Scanning Multiple Photos

[leesja]

I have used my 8620 for a number of years, and generally appreciate how it works.

However, when I scan a photo, I must save it to an HP 4GB "lipstick", and then transfer it from the lipstick to my Mac.  How do I save the scan automatically to my computer desktdop or Photos app?

If I scan a number of photos, different sizes, colour and black and white, etc., they appear on my lipstick as one big .jpg file which I must transfer to my Mac, separate the photos, then import as .individual .jpgs to Photos.

Is there not an easier way to do this?  Is there a new update to help?

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you to scan a document and save it directly on your Mac from your HP Officejet 8610 printer. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

Use HP easy scan app.

• Download and install the HP Easy Scan app from the App Store.
• Place the document or photo printed side down on the scanner glass, then close the scanner lid.
• In HP Easy Scan, select your printer name from the Scanner drop-down menu.
• Select your scan type from the Presets menu.
• Click Scan.
• To save your scans to a folder on the Mac, click Send in the bottom right corner of the window, then click Folder.
• In the window that displays, click the Where menu to browse to the folder you want to save the file to, then click Save.
• To view your scan, open the folder in which you saved the scan, then double-click the file.

Thank you for your quick reply, Sandy. It's nice to know you are out there.

Item #7 reads: 

• "In the window that displays, click the Where menu to browse to the folder you want to save the file to, then click Save."

I am hung up on this item.  Where is the "Where Menu" you are referring to?  I can see the photos, and have played around a little with them, but I would like to add them to my Photos app but need to find the "Where" button.

once I know where the scanned photos will be saved, I will date them, edit the, crop them, etc.  But first, I need to know how to save them in my Photos folder.
