Tips on successful batch scanning

There are a few rules of thumb when scanning multiple photos at once for processing with AutoSplitter. This software has been developed with flatbed scanners in mind. Scanning with handheld scanners is not recommended. If the background (document cover) of the photos is not a uniform, patternless surface, the automatic splitting algorithm will work less reliably. In order to help better photo detection, keep these in mind:

• Leave about 1 cm (1/2 inch) space between photos when scanning. Adjacent photos may be recognized as one single object instead of multiple.
• Make sure that both the document window and the cover are as clean as possible.
• Use automatic or manual calibration if the photos are not correctly divided.
• You must always use manual calibration if your scanner's background color (cover) is not white or grey.
• Only rectangular photos will be detected and clipped.
• Always scan at 300 DPI or higher resolution.
• Always scan at 1200 DPI or higher resolution if you want to print the output images.
• Options/Preferences/Calibration parameters will help you find more photographs automatically.
