Looking for a graphics program with a pretty specialized feature...

I scanned about 3000 family photos on a large flatbed scanner - up to 12 pictures in one file.

Now I need to crop them all out and rotate them so the edges of the pictures aren't slanted. Is there any graphics program that can make this process somewhat automated? All of the operations are relatively trivial, but doing them all 3000 times by hand is a PITA.

you can do batches in Photoshop, if all the photos are the same size and have about the same degree of slantness (uhh I don't think that's a word) it would be pretty easy.

Photoshop however, is expensive, and this sounds like a 1 time deal so I wouldn't suggest buying it. Adobe should have some sort of free trial. I'm sure other programs exist too.

your PITA comment got me hungry so I must go eat now
