I just scanned a bunch of pictures and to save time, did three at a once.
Now I need to cut them up into individual pictures. Is there an easy way
into Photoshop to do this? Most of them are the same size, so if there is a
way of running a bunch of them through at once, that would be great. I also
have a few where the pictures are different sizes and shapes, so I need to
be able to do those manually. What function should I use to do that?

I'm using Photoshop 6.0 and the files are in the TIFF format, should that
matter.

Thanks for your help.


You can do it by hand each time like this:

Load a picture into Photoshop

Pick the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool'

Draw a box around the image you want

Press CTRL and C keys on the keyboard (or pick 'COPY' from the EDIT menu.)

Pick 'New From Clipboard' on the FILE menu

save the new pic that is created

repeat for each image - it goes pretty fast!

I don't know if there is any automatic way to do this.

You can create an Action, setting an F-key, for the New From Clipboard to save
some time. Since not all of ganged images are the same size, you might want to
get those that are into one area, set the Marquee Tool to the size that you
want for them, so you you don't have to drag-to-size. You'll want to change it
back, when you get to the odd-sized photos.
