Photoshop Elements 11 does not recognize Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner from "File"/"Import"

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 11 on a brand new iMac running OS X 10.8.2, but Elements 11 will not recognize my Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO Scanner as an option to import from when I click on "File" then "Import." Is there a Plug-In that may be missing for this to operate as it used to in Elements 6 running on an older G5 Non-Intel processor?  I don't have the new Elements 11 Disk to copy anything from, since I downloaded the program directly from Adobe.

  • Elements 13 does not recognise Epson Perfection 4990 photo scanner

    I just installed Elements 13 (also have 11 and 12 installed).  I have installed 13 as a 64 bit (windows 8), but cannot get it to recognize my Epson perfection 4990 photo scanner (or Perfect Effects 4, for that matter).  Any ideas?  I copied the PlugIN files from 12 to 13, but so far no dice.

  • Adoble photoshop elements does not recognize printer although other software programs do print...

    Adobe Photoshop Elements does not recognize printer..error message says you must install printer.  Other software does print documents.

      Try opening an image in full edit, then press crtl+p
    Wait for the print dialog to open and try to select your printer by clicking the dropdown menu.
     

  • PHOTOSHOP CS4 DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY SCANNER

    I just installed Photoshop CS4 64 bit in a new computer with Windows 7.  I downloaded and installed Twain Driver and Epson Scan Utility v3.04A as recommended by Epson for my Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner to use with Windows 7.  The scanner works fine as a stand alone and works with Microsoft Paint, so the drivers seem to be installed correctly.  But when I open PSCS4 and go to file/automate, the scanner is not seen. 
    I spoke with Epson tech support who tells me I am missing a 64 bit twain plug in for PSCS4 which is required for the scanner to be recognized by PS.  They said there is no problem with 32 bit, but I need to wait for this 64 bit Twain Plug in to be released by either Adobe or Microsoft in order for this to work with my set up.
    What are people doing with PSCS4 and Windows 64 bit and Epson scanner?  I realize I can scan outside of Photoshop as a work around, but this is not ideal.  Any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    As John Joslin suggested... try VueScan. Excellent scanning software, very reasonably priced, unlimited upgrades, less than U$ 100. Just check if your scanner is supported (i just checked and it seems to be).

    I used to use it and found it excellent. In fact, one of the cool things was that i could do all my scans in one session and then open the images in PS when i wanted / needed to work on them.

  • OS 10.4.4 + Photoshop Elements 2.0 + Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

    i have an epson perfection 3200 photo scanner which had worked fine importing into photoshop elements 2.0 when i had an imac g3, but i cannot get it to work on my new machine, a powerbook g4 using 10.4.4. epson said it should work (i downloaded the most recent driver) but adobe said that 10.4.4 does not support photoshop elements 2.0 or 3.0. i downloaded 3.0 (they have a month trial) and it acknowledged my scanner for a second but then repeated the error message.
    any thoughts?
    thanks.

    Further to Barbara's suggestions, have you tried uninstalling your scanner and then disconnecting it physically from your PB. Then reinstall the scanner software and any updated drivers with the scanner still disconnected. Then reconnect the USB to the scanner and see whether you have better success. Epson scanners can be fussy (shy?) about being recognised, and I used these steps when I "lost" my Epson 3170 when moving to 10.3.x.
    Barbara is absolutely right about PS Elements 2 and 10.4.4 - I'm also using it regularly with no problems. Since you got it to work with your previous computer and OS, you can also get it to work with your new PB and 10.4.4 - it just may need a little coaxing...

  • My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it via internet the first time december 2013?)

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

    Been trying to use an external memory card reader with my macbook air… connecting via usb port, air does not recognize device nor the microSD card from my gopro … help

    Some external ones do not work with the Mac's although most do. There are some driver compadibility issues with Mavericks, so I would wait for an update.

  • How to access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner?

    How can I access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner after upgrading from PS CS4 to CS6?
    There is no Photoshop File/Export/Epson scanner listed anymore. I downloaded a TWAIN plug-in and loaded it in the PS Plug-in folder, but that did not help.
    What should I be doing?
    Mac OSX 10.6.8.

  • Install Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

    My kernel is a custom built 2.6.3. I am trying to install an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner. It works under SuSE8.2 so there is no fundamental hardware problem. The sane website lists the 3200 as completely supported.
    The system recognizes the scanner, as shown in part of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:
    D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
    P: Vendor=04b8 ProdID=011c Rev= 1.02
    S: Manufacturer=EPSON
    S: Product=EPSON Scanner
    C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA
    I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
    E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
    E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
    The program sane-find-scanner produces:
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x011c) at libusb:001:003
    # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
    # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    The program scanimage -L produces:
    No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
    check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
    sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
    which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
    The problem appears to be that the system cannot find a driver. Is the driver suppose to come from sane and there is a configuration issue? Is the system suppose to find the driver as a module or compiled-in the kernel? Is there some wild and wonderful dev - devsfs issue?
    Any intel (small i) would be most appreciated.
    Rick

    the generic usb scanner module is no longer in the kernel. any scanner that used it mus use libusb now. to do this first remove any entry you have in any module loading files that load that module.
    next add either one of these lines to your fstab:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults 0 0
    or
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbdevfs defaults 0 0
    but going by your output so far you would seem to have one of these two lines in fstab.
    anyway either one of those lines will give root only access to your scanner so you will need to give your user access to the device. your can do that in a few ways.
    first you can create a group add your user to it then edit your usbfs line to read:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs rw,mode=666,gid=<--newgroupnamehere--> 0 0
    or if you have a single user you can edit the line to read:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults,mode=666 0 0
    if this does not work read up on hotplug or add this line to you rc.local:
    chown -R <yourusername>.users /proc/bus/usb/xxx/*
    where the "xxx" represents the three digit number directory in /proc/bus/usb/ that represents your scanner. you can find this by running scanimage -L as root and it will give you two three digit numbers in the output. then look in the number directory/directories for those two numbers and that will be the directory you put in for the xxx.

  • My Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Yosemite. The only scanner available is my Epson All-in-One.

    I installed the new Yosemite operating system even though I was afraid something bad would happen. Well. it did. I can no longer scan photos using my photo scanner. I have updated all the drivers and it is still not working. I have an Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner, as well as an Epson WorkForce 845 all-in-one scanner, printer, copier. The 845 is on the network. The V500 is connected to my computer. For some reason, I keep getting the error that my V500 is not connected and when I try to add it, my mac does not find it. I know it is there. It was working before I upgraded. Help

    You may have already done so, but if not...
    Try a different USB cable.
    Reboot your computer
    Launch Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) and Repair Disk Permission
    in the left pane, click once on the name of your hard disk
    in the right pane, click on the First Aid tab near the top
    under the blank window, click the button "Repair Disk Permissions."
    Afterward, click the "verify disk" button and it will check your hard disk.
    Now, try your scanner...

  • OS X Mavericks, Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner

    Installed OSX Mavericks on my 2010 iMac.  My Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner was working fine but now is not.  Clicked for Software Updates and none found.  Any suggestions?  Epson website say to to the iMac Software Update function but all updates installed already.  

    Same thing happened to me. If software update shows no updates, then you're set. I think Apple did away with the need for third party software and the Epson scanner driver. Now you open any scanner ready software package and go to the "Import from Scanner" (or "Import From Device...") option. Works in Preview. Works in Photoshop CC.

  • Photoshop 11 does not recognize external harddrive when trying to reconnect images?

    I have moved my catalog to a new computer, using Photoshop Elements 11. All images are on 2 external harddrives. The PC recognizes both harddrives and shows folder structure and files correctly. When in Photoshop Organiser the thumbnails appear, with the question mark, as the drive structure is different to the old PC. When trying to reconnect the images to the second external harddrive Photoshop suddenly does not recognise this harddrive anymore.
    Please anybody advise on what I can do to fix that?

    Please try steps mentioned on blog: http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/how-do-i-reconnect-missing-files-in.html Let me know if it doesn't help.

  • Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing.  Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

    Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

    You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
    Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
    If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.
