LaserSoft Imaging

Hi. First time here so I don't know if this item has been dealt with yet.
I have an Epson "Perfection 4870 Photo" scanner, using Silverfast version 6.4.4r6 (the free upgrade from 6.2)
And this is bundled with Photoshop Elements 2.0

OK, now, the Epson came with a few plastic templates. It's the one that holds 8 slides that I'm interested in here.

The question is: Am I already outfitted with the right "everything" to be able to scan the 8 slides at a time, then use Photoshop 2.0 to batch digitize the images so they appear as separate images?
I'll grow old too quickly if I find out I have to crop each slide individually to be able to copy, say, a couple of hundred slides at a time to CD or to integrate them into a video production in my Mac computer.

Can anyone demystify what I don't seem to be able to get an answer to please?

Hello Bruce,

You will not get the best results by scanning all of the slides at one time because each slide more than likely has unique tonality. I have not used it myself, but SilverFast 6.5 has Automatic Frame Detection, which should address your issues. You can read about it here: http://www.silverfast.com/highlights/autoborder/en.html
