I am looking for a decent scanner software that will allow:
Its not free, but VueScan is one of the best pieces of scanner software around. Its been in business for a long time, and the software is the most feature rich I have used. It has a multi-crop mode where you can set multiple crops on a single scan. Your trick is to get the photos in the same place each time.
- Automatically crop a scan of multiple photos (Approx 4 photos every scan)
- Re-orientation
- Scratch and dust removal (if possible)
- Color correction
- Red-eye removal
I have about 1000 of old photos to scan. If all that can be done by a single software.. it will be time saving!

You can use ImageMagick (Free, open source, cross-platform, CLI) to post-process all your scanned images at once:

You can also try IrfanView. It is a free and lightweight graphics viewer with a batch conversion tool. You can find the option under the
File
menu or by using the shortcut key B. Then click the Advanced
button for more options.You can either manually set a
CROP
region (top left), or choose the Auto crop borders
option which only works on white and transparent background. There are also options to resize and re-orient the image. However, it does not have an option for batch red-eye removal, and it can only fix one image at a time.TymricTymric
You can use Photoshop CS (Non-free, Windows / Mac, scriptable):

- scan, e.g. with TWAIN

- red-eye removal
- Color Correction

We recently put together this video for our clients entitled Tech Tips: Ways to Split Multiple Images Scanned on a Flatbed Scanner that may be of some help.
As far as the image restoration components, the newly released Vivid-Pix Restore application does this with typically with a single click.
