Question

Adjust and crop scanned images (CD-booklets)

Hello,

I have a lot of scanned CD booklets like

 

I have no deeper experience with Photoshop and mainly use PaintShopPro for graphics but since Photoshop is included in my subscription and I found no solution with PaintShopPro I ask here..

Is there a convenient and fast way to process these pictures:

  1. Load it
  2. Adjust it horizontal
  3. Crop it
  4. In the case of the booklet device it in two pages (in two new images) and save them?

And the same with the back-inlay and the CD?

And even better process CDs or he booklets in batch?

 

It would be nice if someone how have deeper knowledge then me could give me some hints.

 

Thanks

 

Stefan Westner

    Crop and Straighten Photos will also move individual images in a scan into seperate documents (very handy feature) :-)

    You can use Crop and Straighten Photos feature (under File > Automate > Crop and Straighten Photos) in Photoshop which should straighten and crop the scans automatically.

    Hello MarekMularczyk,

     

    this was exact what I’m looking for… and it works.

    Three additional questions - perhaps you can answer it.

    “Crop and Straighten Photos”  always open the processed image in a new register with “Copy as” so I can’t simple save it and overwrite the original. Is it possible that the function diretly modifies the image in the register so that I can simple press Ctrl-S after processing?

    The function seems always work on the current image. Could I process a batch of files?

    A CD Booklet contains on two pages. Both are normally 12 cm in width. How can I split this and save the two pages as seperate files? A script / function like “Take the current image, split it in the middle and save”

    Greetings

    It wasn’t designed for batch processing.

    @Stefan34613976nwfa Welcome. For the CD, you need to make sure you tak a full scan of it properly. Having it clipped and dark, you will ned to do some photoshop work on it. If you do a good scan, less work for you

    Th following are some tutorials from Adobe themselves:

    Photoshop
    https://www.adobe.com/ca/learn/photoshop

    Crop a photo using the Crop tool:

    Personally, I would either use Illustrator or inDesign for the CD covers and booklets…. but, I don’t really know what you are trying to do in the end goal?
