===== Scanning Multiple Photos into Separate Files on a MacBook with an Epson Printer Scanner =====

You can scan multiple photos at once and save them as separate files using your Epson printer scanner and MacBook. Here’s how to do it:

==== Using Epson Scan Software ====
  - **Open Epson Scan**: Launch the Epson Scan software installed on your MacBook.
  - **Select "Home" or "Professional Mode"**: Choose either "Home Mode" or "Professional Mode" for more control over the scanning process.
  - **Place Photos on Scanner**: Place your photos on the scanner glass, ensuring they are spaced apart so the software can recognize them as separate items.
  - **Preview Scan**:
    - Click the **"Preview"** button to scan and display the images on the glass.
    - The software should automatically detect multiple photos and draw boxes around each one. If not, adjust the selection areas manually.
  - **Scan Settings**:
    - Set the desired scan resolution, color settings, and file format (JPEG, PNG, etc.).
    - Ensure the option for **"Save each image separately"** or similar is selected.
  - **Scan**:
    - Click the **"Scan"** button, and the software will save each detected photo as a separate file.

==== Using Mac's Built-in Preview App ====
  - **Open Preview**: Launch the **Preview** app on your MacBook.
  - **File > Import from Scanner**: Select your Epson printer from the **"Import from Scanner"** option.
  - **Place Photos on Scanner**: Place multiple photos on the scanner glass.
  - **Preview Scan**:
    - Click **"Overview"** or **"Preview"** to initiate a preliminary scan.
    - Preview will try to detect the separate photos on the glass. If it doesn’t, manually adjust the selection around each photo.
  - **Adjust and Scan**:
    - For each detected photo, adjust the selection manually if needed.
    - Click **"Scan"** to save each photo individually.

This process should allow you to scan multiple photos in one go and save them as separate files.
