Hi [USER=143066]@883robert[/USER]


1) PrintFile or more properly Print File is the name of the company/product that makes that archival negative/slide/print sleeves as per the upper left corner of your image :) :

2) I was not trying to suggest using a single sheet as your final output.  I only used that to easily show you the results of each image extraction all in one place.   In your case, after doing the extraction with File > Automation > Crop and Straighten Photos, I suggest you follow that with either the File > Automation > Batch command or the File > Scripts > Image processor command to move all of your open files into individual files as you desired.


Note that the Crop and Straighten Photos command is pretty finicky in trying to determine the location of the negative edge frames.  To include your partial #1 negative in the batch, you would need to make it appear as just the negative with a black background.


Even in the trail case of what I did as an experiment, it did not capture all the negatives exactly correct.  One was clipped on the top and bottom and it identified a fragment of another image and made it its own image.  That is why I mentioned that the negatives need some contrast with the background black.


I suggest you experiment with it to see what works best for you.  I personally would not expect it to work 100% correctly under all conditions which creates some overhead that you may or may not want to put up with.


I figured it might be worth exploring for you give the alternatives of having a custom script written to do the job better.

Hope the extra details are helpful
