Scanning albums is not an easy task, since the extraction of actual photographs within scans is usually very tedious.
This tool allows you to scan as much as you can fit into your scanner and then semi-automatedly extract the contained photographs.
The tool also allows to extract scans of multiple single photographs (i.e. without album)

Note: The scanning itself is the most time consuming part. Maker sure you optimize that process. (see some hints on the link above.)
Hint: **I NEED YOUR DATA**. If you have scans which won't be recognized well give me these (If they're not too personal etc - I won't use it for anything else than to improve this software).

Perfect for going through a directory of images one by one and pulling out single photos from there. Saved me literally hours of work after I scanned a 40 page photo album with 3-4 pics a page randomly scattered on each jpeg. It tries to automatically find pictures but can go badly wrong, even so, it's so easy to clear the automatic selections, then pick your own. Even lets you change the angle of the selection for those pictures which were put into albums when drunk :)

A very useful application for extracting parts of an (existing) image. + Option to manually edit the areas and add new ones. + When you save, all the selected areas are automatically named and stored in a (configurable in settings) folder with a specified filename prefix. + Easily rotate the specific areas (photos) and see a preview of the output. + All the elements have a help available in a tooltip, status bar, and from a special question-mark help button (in Misc). + Quickly move between images in the same folder. – No simple drag-drop of image from file explorer to the app (I had to browse the file from within the app).

Full bulls*** !!! Not worthy of attention! Does not know how to work with scanners. He scanned it with a third-party program in jpg and slipped into the program a scan of an old Soviet album with three photographs, he selected only one and then he did not guess at all with the borders, he didn’t even guess about it. It is much easier to download any image editor and cut.
