Photo scanning software with multi-autocrop?

[jungleexplorer]

Recently my grandparents died and they left behind boxes and boxes of photographs of our family history, some going back over 100 years (old black powder flash photos on tin plates). They family has requested that I digitize them all. Needless to say, that is going to be a lot of work. I have scanned many photos on flatbed scanners over the years and I have always wanted a software that could do multi-autocropping. Currently, I have to save the scan as a single file, and then open it in a photo editor and cut out each individual picture and save it. What I would like is a software that can detect and crop several images at a time from a single scan. Say I scan ten photos on my flatbed, the program would detect the edges of all ten photos and save them as individual files.

Is there such a software?

My old canoscan software used to do this (allow you to select a multiregion).

Try vuescan https://www.hamrick.com/ (it's also good for getting old scanners working where OS support is removed)

I tried several programs (Gimp, Irfanview, etc). None of them could accomplish the task with any degree of reliable accuracy. Then I stumbled on a program that was already on my computer that came with my Canon driver software called, " lJ Scan Utility". It actually does an amazing job and offers many scan options and customizations.
