I am inexperienced at scripting but a long-time Ps user. I'm exploring the feasibility of converting deteriorating motion picture film to an image sequence using a flatbed scanner. Assuming that I can rig a template to scan multiple scripts of film in a consistent position (much like a contact sheet) I'd like to then crop and export each frame incrementally.
Any suggestions on where to begin? I'm thinking that I will first need a list of coordinates for each frame (might be 100 frames per scan) then crop and save with incremental numbering. Or should I build masks for each frame and write a routine to discard the mask area from the canvas?
