Scanning & cropping multiple pictures

[Aimeejola]

I have a HP Envy 5052 3 in one copier, printer and scanner.  I had not used the scanner until now.  

I am starting to scan my old pictures.  How can I scan and crop multiple pictures at once?  I don't want to have to scan one picture at a time.  

Thank you for your help!  😃

Welcome to the HP User Community.

General scan guide

HP Printers - How to Scan

Details / How-to / Examples

Place the photos on the printer glass (face down).

Separate the photos by about an inch on each side to allow the software to "see" the edges of each photo.

Use

HP Scan (part of the Full Feature Software)

Set the Page Size to "Detect Photos"

Set the Source to "Flatbed" (glass)

Example - HP Scan - Save as JPEG (photo / image)

9025_HP_Scan_menu_JPEG_More_Image_All_4

Dragon Tip

Later, if you like, you can use HP Smart (Windows app) to print more than one photo on a single sheet of paper.

Ask a new question about this when / if you are interested in doing that and need setup help.

At some point I couldn't scan from touching the screen on the printer but found they now added a scan Icon in the Windows task/icons, has a large scanner. I always start by creating creating a Word document add some returns and past the picture on the page. you can add text for title or date above or below by selecting the image, picture tool pops up. select Text wrapping.

later after you fix colors or brightness crop and resize the pictures to get the number per page you desire.

The important point is the page may look great in print preview but the image may get cut off when printed. With picture selected and picture tool above the top task showing, right click mouse then scroll down to Size, in Aspect Ration  uncheck 

 [  } uncheck box" relative to original picture size. Now the boxes for height and width will change to 100% and the cropped off stuff is actually gone and the printer will print what is in print preview.
