Oddity in Preview re scan files from CanoScan

I've come upon some strange behavior in Preview. When I scan a page on my Canon LIDE 25 scanner (via the CanoScan software), the resulting saved file is a .tiff (the default). When I try to open it in Preview, Preview starts, and says that file is the current window, but no window appears. (This used to work just fine in Mac OS 10.4.11.) The .tiff file is apparently fine (read on), but Preview doesn't display it. After a couple hours of hair-tearing, I found that the file is there, and there are at least two ways of inducing Preview to display it:
1. Minimize the (nonexistent) window, and then call it back up from the dock. The window now appears, with the scanned image displays just fine.
2. Open a random PDF file and it appears, along with windows for any and all previously invisible image files.
So I can force my way around this problem, but would appreciate if anyone can suggest a fix for this perverse behavior.
BTW, Get Info shows that the files saved by CanoScan contain somewhat fewer properties than files saved by other agents. I don't know why this should make a critical difference, but I thought I'd note it.
Thanks for any comments or info you can pass along.

blokes,
What  you are doing is considered rude, it's called threadjacking. I am quite sure that isn't your intent though. Please create  your own thread and someone will be happy to help you out.

  • Auto scan files from windows folder

    I am having trouble updating the iTunes library automatically? e.g. when I delete a file from my folder where all my music is stored the Library in iTunes does not do a refresh and pick up the change?
    Please help because this is getting irritating because I have to keep importing the folder into iTunes.

    iTunes does not have an auto-refresh or scan feature as you desire.
    If you delete a music file on the PC (outside of iTunes), you will be left with a broken song reference within iTunes.
    Delete both the reference and file by using iTunes.

  • Preview for RAW files from D90

    Bridge will not show me a preview of my Raw files taken from my new D90. I have the new Camera Raw Plug-in so that I can open them up, just no preview from the Bridge Viewing dock. Can I fix this so that I know what I am opening up? Help please!

    Purging the cache through the Tools menu in Bridge is necessary whenever you have files for which the cache was built before you updated ACR. It's standard procedure. Read the FAQs at the Adobe Camera Raw forum.
    It's also fixes other problems.
    You still haven't told us where you installed the new ACR plug-in and what you did with the old one. Please post a screen shot or describe the path to the install folder in minute detail.

  • Scanned files from Photosmart 6520 screen missing

    I decided to try scanning a single page from my scanner instead of using the program on the Mac. The printer screen claims it scanned successfully but I have no idea where to. The printer stated to check the monitor, but nothing opened up after the scan. Any clues? I can't figure out how to set where files scanned would be sent to.

    Hi there @scheibe1211 
    Welcome to the forums!
    I read your post about not being able to find your scanned image on your Mac, so I decided to play around on a Mac here that is running 10.10, and I would suggest that you try these steps to see if this helps you.
    Click on the "Finder" icon at the bottom of your desktop, or click on your desktop.
    Click on Help, and in the search bar, type in "scanned images" and you should see an option pop up saying "Recent Folders - Scanned Images".
    Click on the Recent Folders option and look for your scan in there.
    Let me know what happens!

  • Scanning in preview to multiple files no longer possible?!

    I am using an HP OfficeJet Printer to scan from the document feeder wirelessly to preview.app. It used to function flawlessy but now I ran into a problem that caused me to almost through my AirBook across the room.
    Using the import from scanner option in preview under lion I choose "Document Feeder" and the scanner starts to pull in the pages. preview.app - as it used to do then - opens a new window with the frist page and keeps adding new ones as they are transmitted from the scanner. so far so normal. what happens then is very annoying: every time a new page arrives - the one before that gets overridden with the the one. preview app scans page after page only to override the newly acquired scan.
    I always end up with something that looks quite funny: X amount of pages in the sidebar of my preview window containing a thumbnail of the same LAST page that was scanned...
    Does anyony have an idea hwo to solve this problem?
    Another thing just springs to my mind. It used to be that preview app would let you name the to be scanned image (or it would use the default "scanned image") and during the scanning process it would just name the pages / documents "scanned image", "scanned image 01"...
    Now - probably because of the new versioning feature of lion - which I find very very confusing - all scans appear under the same name... That is probably the reason for the overwrite behaviour.
    Thank you very much for your time everybody – I appreciate feedback.
    Using 10.7.1 and also installed printer drivers HP update that came around yesterday or the day before that.

    You probably have the camera raw dialog set to output 16 bits/channel.
    Open a camera raw file and at the bottom of the camera raw dialog where it says Bit Depth choose 8 bits/channel and click done.
    Then try the using process multiple files.

  • How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?

    How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?
    In the past I would simply place a copy of the document on my scanner, then selected create PDF from scanner.  However, there is now no create PDF from scanner alternative, option or choice.  The only option available is selected file to convert to PDF.  what am I to do?

    That would have been a function of your scanning software. Adobe Reader is only used to view the pdf that your scanning software created.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

    My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's.  We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server.  We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance.  One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
    All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
    sandboxd:  ([###])  Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
    We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works.  This problem exists with Textedit as well.  We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast.  We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server.  So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    "Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
    The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

  • CR2 files from CANON will corrupted when preview by Adobe bridge

    Hello Frides
    This problem started for me since Sep 2012, on CS5 and CS6
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    64 GB Ram
    Quad Core i7
    ACR 7.3
    ACR 6.2
    Camera Canon 5D M2
    The problem is when I preview my archive files it corrupt the as well; I can see the CR2 file using ACDsee Pro 5 but when I convert them to Tiff or JPEG it export the corrupted file.
    The scary part is if I'm losing my archive CR2 files,
    I can’t open these file in Canon Digital Photo Professional after they damaged with Adobe.
    This evening I was working on a photo and export it as Tiff , when i change directory in Bridge the same CR2 file corrupted!!!!!
    I delete the XMP file associated with the CR2 didn’t help, its look like when bridge try to update the thumbnail somehow it
    I tested on my portable workstation
    Lenovo w701ds
    16 GB Ram / i7 QC / Window7 Pro
    stil get this random problem.
    CHecked the CF card / Card reader / all my cables  on both PC's
    My problem is a software problem
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!   SOS

    I have tried all of those and different versions/order of import, different drives and different cards.
    Sorry, cross posting the same time it seems.
    I just put the image back on the memory card and checked it in the camera and it views normally in the camera.
    Again, you are not viewing the Raw file at the back of the camera, it can't show because the Raw data needs to be first demosaiced using a dedicated Raw converter like ACR or Canon DPP. What you see is the embedded jpeg preview the camera produces for this purpose and for using in Finder and other systems that can only view jpeg.
    I did try downloading it to a different hard drive directly from the camera...I was able to view the image for about 30 seconds before it corrupted. As I mentioned, for this particular image I actually did a full ACR edit and created a jpg from the RAW file yesterday.
    Here we are getting to the strange part of the problem. Can you provide a screenshot of the problem file?
    When this happened about 6 months ago, after re-creating a file in the adobe library (unfortunately I can't remember where it was or what the file name was)...it stopped.
    That probably would mean the Cache file and plug in from the User library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CSxx / Cache and plug in
    or from same user library / preferences / Bridgexx plist file. Both files are recreated fresh and empty after restarting Bridge
    I was actually able to go back to the corrupted images (4 out of 6) and view the corrupted images and edit them normally!
    Try to reset the default setting in ACR
    It just started again recently and I have 5 or 6 images that it's happened to. The first 5 corrupted as soon as I loaded them in ACR, this is the first one that corrupted after I edited it. I've tried opening them in iphoto and Canon DPP and they initially preview normally and then corrupt once they fully load the jpg preview.
    Can you show both results from ACR and DPP in a screenshot?

  • HT2506 hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.

  • My lightroom 4 will not import my files from my compact flash card . It has been working for years with out fail but now there is no import previews and it says the files are not recognized by raw format support in LR

    I have lightroom 4 I've had it for years and it has imported my raw files from my CF card without issue . Now when I plug in my CF card to import new files it says import operations not performed and there are no image previews . When I continue by hitting "import" I get a pop up window that states "the files are not recognized by raw format support in Light Room"

    Don't feel too bad.  If the D4S has as many menus and custom functions as my Canon 5D Mark iii its easy to get messed up.
    If you downloaded from the link I gave you it will be Lr 5.4.   The link was just to show you when the D4S was supported.  The newest version is 5.7.1 and can be downloaded here.  Don't know your OS so you will have to pick Windows or Mac.   Product updates
    On my Mac I just run the downloaded installer program (its a full version and not an small update) and it installs the new version and erases the old version.  If you are on Windows you will have to get help from a windows person. 

  • Why is the preview or scan images as separate files grayed out? When it was working just fine before

    I have windows 8...I have been using this scanner for about a month. My scan/fax/printer is a Brother MFC-8910DW. This is what brothers website says regarding this make and model. "Scan multi-page documents using the 50-page capacity auto document
    feeder or use the legal-size document glass for bound materials." For the Full month it has been scanning multiple pages using Microsoft scan a document or picture. I tried to scan this morning and it will now only let me scan ONE page at a time.(( I
    have to scan over 800 pages!!) On the lower left corner there is a box I was able to click previously it says preview or scan images as separate files. It is now grayed out and I am unable to select it. I know for a fact it has nothing to do with my printer
    because I use it for a month and it worked beautifully. Please could someone help with this issue?

    Hi,
    For this issue, I would suggest you update to the latest printer driver, if you have any other related printer\scanner programs installed, please make sure that you have the latest version or reinstall as a test.
    It's recommended to contact the manufacture for members there are more familiar with this product

  • How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

    How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

    Hi flaviusjack,
    If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
    Best,
