Extract Individual photos from scanned images

Hello,

 

I have scanned a great number of images that have anywhere from one to six photos in each scan. What is the best tool to slice the image so that I can save each individual photo as a jpeg file. Should I use the slice tool and do them manually?  The quick selection tool, and see if the software will just outline the rectangular shapes (I tried this a little but the software also tended to try to ouline certain shapes in the photos themselves). I am open to suggestions.

Hi,

 

One more thing.

 

If you have many individual scans, you can create an action and then run a Batch command on a folder or collection of scans.

Here's a how to link: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/actions.html
