Problems solved by technology

[0004] This process has many disadvantages: users must learn to use image editing software such as PHOTOSHOP; from the original image file containing all photos, each photo is cut out one by one and saved as an independent file. It is cumbersome; it is difficult for users to place photos horizontally and vertically on the smooth scanning flatbed, which will increase the process of rotating and fine-tuning during subsequent image editing, and this process is also very cumbersome; when users place photos on the scanning flatbed , it is not necessarily possible to place the maximum n...

specific Embodiment 1

[0043]In order to realize the method of the present invention, the scanner for scanning photos can be improved, that is, a photo mark can be added on the scanning flat plate of the scanner. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a scanning flatbed of a scanner with two sizes (88.9×127 mm (3.5×5 inches) / 101.6×152.4 mm (4×6 inches)) of photo marks. As can be seen from Fig. 1, on the frame 1 of the scanning flat panel, the following marks are marked: the origin mark 10, a group of marks 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, and a set of signs 61, 62, 63, 64 for arranging 101.6×152.4mm (4×6 inches) photos. The position distribution of each group of marks meets the requirement of placing as many photos as possible without overlapping on the scanning flatbed, and the requirement of ensuring that at least one side of the photos is close to the frame of the scanning flatbed.

[0044] Fig. 2 has illustrated the arrangement method when using the present invention to scan 88.9×127mm (3...

specific Embodiment 2

[0072] In order to realize the method of the present invention, a dedicated scanning template can be used. FIG. 5 is a template 1 for scanning photos of 127×177.8 mm (5×7 inches) specially designed for a scanning device with a scanning area of ​​216×297 mm (8.5×11.7 inches). The template 1 includes specific outer contour dimensions, specific thickness, empty frames 111 and 112 with specific sizes and positions, template model identification marks 121, 122, 123 and protrusions 131 that are convenient for users to pick and place. The model of the template is determined by the color combination of the three template model identification marks, and different color combinations represent different template models.

[0073] The outer contour size of the template in Figure 5 is 216×297mm, which can ensure that the template can be placed flat on the glass scanning flatbed, and at the same time, the template is limited by the frame of the scanning flatbed without offsetting; the thickn...

Abstract

The invention discloses method to scan photo. The method comprises: prestore mask information determined by scan mask; scan entire zone by user's scan parameter and obtain an image document; according to mask information and user's parameter, divide the single image document into image document of at least one corresponding to every photo. By the method of this invention, user can scan many photos during one process, divide of auto multiple photos into some image documents simultaneously, need not user's hand work; avoid fussy image processing work after scanning, increase divide rate of photo and scan efficiency of multiple photos; finally, as putting the photos following scan mask, the method not only increase putting efficiency, but also avoid photo scanned oblique for putting photo position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer digital image input technology, in particular to a method for scanning photos. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of IT technology, the prices of computer peripherals such as scanners and all-in-one machines have been continuously reduced, and they have become more and more popular among individual users. After individual users have purchased the above-mentioned equipment, most of them have the desire to input the paper photos taken by themselves into the computer by scanning, and then use the computer to save, appreciate, process or send them to others. [0003] For users who use a flatbed scanner or an all-in-one with a flatbed scanning unit, when scanning multiple photos, in order to improve efficiency, usually multiple photos are placed on the flatbed of the scanning device at the same time, and all photos are scanned by the scanning software. Scan to the same image file, and then use im...
