File Automate Crop and Straighten Problem in Photoshop

File/Automate/Crop and Straighten Photos does not seem to be working properly. The first image I did worked well, but subsequent images are not. They are being divided in the middle of images or the edges of the image aree not being detected at all.

I had the same problem and found the solution in another post. It seems that some scanners create a very thin and imperceptable line around the entire mulit-photo scanned image. This confuses photoshop's detection of the individual images. The solution is to apply a small (several pixel) crop to the main image prior to running File/Automate/Crop and Straighten. After adding this step to the process I've had no issues.

    This problem has come back again in 2022, I select the action and it creates 32 copies of the document, each one containing a smaller section of the original image, specs attached.

    Is there a clean white background behind the images you want to separate?

    Is it OK if you post the original just so we can see what it looks like?

    Hi Conrad, just a simple image from Pixabay, a road with sky/clouds, see.

    Hi there,

     

    That does not sound good, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop you're working with?

    Also, does it only happen with one file or multiple images?

    Could you try resetting the preferences of Photoshop and see if it helps?

    Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

     

    Regards,
    Sahil

    I am using version 21.0.3.
    I have reset the preferences and it worked the first time, but not on subsequent images, I've restarted my computer, but that didn't help. I have tried multiple images and single images and it's no longer working on any of them.
    I've also tried opening the images from Lightroom and directly and both did not work.
