I've got an A4 picture that consists of a a main title and 6 smaller photos. I want a JPEG version of it so used the scanner. HOWEVER in the preview I have got 2 of the photos separated out as individual pictures with the title and remaining 4 as a single 3rd picture.

It's being too clever for me - how can I force it to stick to the original layout?Are you relying on software to detect and separate photos from within a single scan?

Myself I have always just done a full platen scan and manually grab each IMAGE within the main image and save those as their own pictures. Never used any software that will detect and isolate multiple photos from within a single scan before.Hi Davel,

No, I'm trying to get a jpeg version by scanning in a single A4 page that has 6 photos on it, i.e the jpeg will be a single page that shows all 6 pictures.

I expected it to be a very basic job and am totally puzzled as to why it took the page apart. Looks like they have MODE selections for that scanner and depending on the mode it will behave differently. It looks like a feature of this scanner is to allow a single scan to take say your 6 IMAGES and make them into 6 individual images instead of one scan with all images in a single image file.

Looks like you may just need to change the mode to one that doesnt do this, or there is an advanced setting checkbox somewhere to TURN off this feature of photo recognition within scans: https://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/pr317p/pr317prf/howto_4.htm
