Question

Importing Scanned Photos

Hi all.  Be gentle!! This is my first attempt at photo scanning, restoration and archiving.

I have an Epson photo scanner (sheet feed type) with its own limited correction processes.  I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 on the same laptop to do the more extensive restorations, corrections, facial recognition etc.

My query is whether the 2 processes can share the same folder structure (Windows 11) so I can scan straight into the same folder that Adobe can access.  I will also need to import scanned photos from an older computer and would like them all able to be accessed by the adobe software and hence imported into that common folder structure.

Thanks,

Mike

"My query is whether the 2 processes can share the same folder structure (Windows 11) so I can scan straight into the same folder that Adobe can access. ..." yes they can.

You have to tell your scanner app / Interface or the program you use to scan where things you scan go.  Same goes for images you acquire, import from your scanner, directly inyo a program.

I use two or three programs for scanning and each allows you to tell you where you scanned images go.

Thanks for that. My concern was that each program may have is own "database" type structure within its own folder and the other might interfere with it when it assessed it. I'll give it a test drive and see how I go.

Again, many thank,
Mike
