  1. This doesnt work for me, i had 2 images to scan and it just duplicates the 3 images on one screen no crop or straighten…help (i followed your steps)

  2. THANK YOU!!! The “automate” > “crop and straighten” process is going to save me HOURS!!!

  3. I have tried using the Crop and Straighten Tool but it continually fails by cropping in the middle of several of the images. Any suggestions on what is going on here?

  4. Why not add an easy option to include a selectable width border around the cropped photo?

    And most of all, add some sort of control on how the auto crop selects the photo border- a sensitivity to the detection- often it does a terrible job on auto crop & straighten.
