I used to digitize old family photographs with my mom about five years ago. We used a Canon LiDE 300 on Windows 10.

Since then, I have matured. 🤣

I switched to Linux about two years ago - Artix btw - and now I want to revive this cozy tradition of digitizing photos. I’m looking at the Canon LiDE 400, but that’s partially irrelevant. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SANE says it should be supported.

Question: do you have any experience with the frontends? Do you know if there is one that - like the proprietary Canon software for Windows - can pick out individual photographs from the scan surface? So that I don’t have to manually crop the file afterwards.

Thanks in advance! 😊

    Wait, NAPS2 supports Linux too? It’s my go to thing I install on people’s computers when they want to scan things
