Is this possible even ?

I put 4 pictures on the flatbed scanner, scan them as a group (with white background from the scanner <-- heavy contrast with the scanned pictures). Now, I'm interested - is there some program which could determine the (little it may be) the rotation of those pictures, their boundaries and cut them up from the "big image" so that I get 4 picture images ?

I've no idea if this makes any sense ... if it doesn't ask away and I'll do my best to confuse you even further.

Photshop Elements can automatically divide a scanned picture into subpictures. Too bad your scanner didn't come with the software, but I've seen scanners come with software to divide pictures and even do corrections like if there were wrinkles in the pictures.

I hope this helps.

A similar was question asked in the ImageMagick forum, from what i gather, they only came up with a solution for single images, worth reading anyway:

auto-crop multiple old photographs from scanned image?

Thanks Molly. So, I gather, it isn't that trivial ... – ldigas Jan 19 '10 at 1:29

There is a new ImageMagick Script that does exactly what you are asking here: http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/multicrop/index.php

It looks very(!) interesting. I'll definitely try to test it in practice in the next few days when I get ahold of my scanner. – ldigas Apr 25 at 10:15
