Scanning slides and photos

A request of an archival nature!

Is there integrated software out there where I can scan slides or paper photos, then fiddle (crop etc), then chuck in a database entry of what the photo is ???

I’d rather not scan, then photoshop, then enter the photo information separately against each file name into a database ad infinitum 🙁

Picasa from Google would do what you are asking for and it is free.

I’ve always been a fan of ACDsee. If you get the Powerpack, it comes complete with a photo editor (edit: photo editor already available in standard version) and Photoslate, which is a printing utility. I’ve only used it as an image viewer and to manage my photo collection, but I’ve just checked and it is possible to scan from ACDsee, and the Photo Editor is integrated as well.

You can download the software from the website for a free trial if you provide an email address. I would suggest doing this. It will give you 30 days to play with all the features.
