<p>First, in the software have you change the "thumbnail cropping area" slider from small to midway or large (you did switch the format size parameter in the software configuration box to your particular format though, right?). You will find many references to the poor auto cropping problem on the internet. Many people never realize that they are missing part of their image(s) until they get an obvious error like the one you experienced. If they did a careful comparison of most scans though, they would probably be surprised to find how many of their images on film are overly cropped or mis-cropped by the software's auto-cropping. Auto-cropping is nothing more than a "guess" based on an algorithm and it is often fooled.<br>
Most people I know just set a batch scan of manual crops. It is easy to set up and you know it will be accurate. In the end, this actually takes less time because you don't have to spend time doing comparisons of scans to film and then have to do the inevitable rescans. Here is a page of tips I put up to help people learn about creating manual batch scans with the EpsonScan software:<br>
