4400F scanner has problems with color slides

About six years after buying the 4400F scanner, I finally opened it today in order to start scanning a lot of color slides going back more than 40 years.  It seems as if the software (or the scanner itself) doesn't know where one slide ends and the next one begins.  The slide holder accommodates up to four slides.  Using several methods of scanning permitted by the software, I obtain either three or five JPEG scans.  In the case of three, the images are properly centered--only the final one is missing.  In the case of five, the images are all off-center.  
Has anyone had a similar problem with this unit and the software when scanning slides?
EG 

I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers.  First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem.  I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ).  I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem.  But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application.  My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ).  Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely.  If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption.  This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings.  Start there.  You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already.  Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger.  It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles.  At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines.  If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert.  Hope this helps.

  • Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

    Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
    The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
    I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function.  Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
    The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
    I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
    I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with colors running CS4 and W7.

    Hey everyone.
    I'm having some MASSIVE problems with colors on my system.
    Windows 7 Prof 64bit
    Photoshop CS4 64bit
    6g Ram
    1T hard drive
    Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
    Dell SE198WFP Monitor 
    The system itself is a Dell Inspiron 530 that I put into a Black Widow V9 gaming tower. 
    Here is an example of the issue I'm having: 
    http://findae.deviantart.com/art/Converge-101214480
    http://i38.tinypic.com/bjcymr.jpg 
    The top image is a (admittedly old and crappy, but it shows the problem) photo that I had previously edited and put in my portfolio. The tinypic below is the result of copying that photo from the portfolio, pasting it into photoshop, and then saving it into a jpg. As you can see, the transitions between colors and the contrast are a complete mess. 
    Thing is, my hard drive recently quit on me, and I had to install the operating system and such on a new drive. I remember having this problem with the system when I first had it, but it either went away on its own or I fixed it somehow before. Now I can't remember for the life of me how I got rid of the problem, and I certainly don't know what the problem is in the first place. I'm tempted to think it may not be photoshop itself, but the problem seems to be especially bad when I'm working with photos. 
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? 
    Edit: I also noticed it when viewing http://findae.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1hni37 in firefox, whereas the other photo appeared to be ok before I copied and pasted it. It has extremely obvious lines of green and orange in the transition from light skin tone to dark skin tone. Annoyingly enough, this doesn't show up in the thumbnail within my gallery at all, only when I click on the thumbnail and see the fullsize image. Extremely frustrating.  
    Here's another good look at the problem while selecting a color in photoshop: http://i37.tinypic.com/2h6t7gh.jpg  All I did was screenshot it a few times, and it deteriorated to that point.

    Screen glitches like color blocks appearing where they shouldn't could indicate a problem with your video drivers.
    Go to the nVidia site and see if they've released any updated drivers; people often report that updated drivers are correcting current problems with Photoshop.

  • Tp ended with error code 0247 - addtobuffer has problems with data- and/or

    Hello Experts,
    If you give some idea, it will be greatly appreciated.
    This transported issue started coming after power outage, sap system went hard shutdown.
    Then we brought up the system. Before that , we do not have this transport issue.
    our TMS landscape is
    DEV QA-PRD
    SED-SEQSEP
    DEV is having the TMS domain controller.
    FYI:
    *At OS level, when we do scp command using root user, it is fine for any TR.
    In STMS, while adding TR in SEQ(QA system), we  are getting error like this.
    Error:

  • Firefox does not load long images, pixelates images if they are not in their original size, and has problems with thumbnails (in some sites)

    Firefox has problems with images.
    In sites like deviantART or ImageShack with full-view option, images that are not in full size/thumbnails get slightly pixelated e.g. http://img251.imageshack.us/f/screenshot2tq.jpg/
    Long images get completely messed up if full-viewed e.g. http://img689.imageshack.us/f/screenshot5z.jpg/ (though if the file is only big, it loads just fine)
    Also, thumbnails in some sites get messed up e.g. http://img201.imageshack.us/f/screenshotyr.jpg/
    And in general, Firefox has more 'glitches' like not allowing to add more search engines. It wasn't like that before and I can only assume that it got messed up somewhere with updates, but I'm not really sure.
    I've tried cleaning out cache, re-installing Firefox (multiple times) and even downloaded Firefox 4 beta, but the problem remains.
    I use Ubuntu.
    Does anyone else have similar problems? Or know where the problem lies?

    Do you have the latest driver for your graphics display card?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

    Hi friends.
    I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
    When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
    When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
    When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
    my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
    But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
    i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
    Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
    Thank you very much for help!

  • Problem with colors showing in PE10

    Is there a known problem with color in Elements 10?
    I have a gif that when opened in paint shows the light blue color correctly but in PSE10 shows as a buff color.
    Red, yellow and blue seem about right.
    It doesnt matter if it is the gif or the psd file the color showns the same in PSE10.
    Is there a setting or could something be corrupted.

    Bump.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Elements and get the same result.
    Is there a way to adjust the colors represented in Elements 10?

  • Problems with import slides powerpoint

    Hello,
    I have a problem with import slides from the powerpoint, when
    I try to import, the computer blow.
    What I can do?

    there have been lots of issues regarding this, however, I
    have found that if I export my ppt as individual jpeg slides I can
    then use the "insert > Slide > Image Slide" command to bring
    in my ppt slides, I have tried everything else as well but what was
    happening to me was Captivate 3 was losing all of my text and text
    animation. Now my animation is not critical, however, the text is
    very important of course. So now I have stagnat slides, a bit
    boring but at least I was able to finish my project.
    Hope this helps.
    Tony :)

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

  • Strange problem with color measure in Mac.

    Hello, I am having a strange problem with color measure in Mac. For example i create a gradient in Photoshop from color 200 200 200 to color 240 240 240. When i measure the color of the gradient with the color measure tool of Photoshop or with the built in OS X color measure tool the measured color is from 200 199 197 to 240 240 238. I have measured the same gradient with Photoshop for PC and the values are OK (the same values that i create).
    I dont know what is the problem, but i belive that the colors that i create would be the same that i measure after creating them, and also the same values between Mac and PC. I will appreciate it a lot any help or information that you could give me that helps me to understand what is happening here.
    Thank you for your time
    Marcelo.

    Yep you got it, proof as monitor basicaly strips out any profiling and just delivers it straight.
    is there any way to make the OS X color measure tool to measure the original color values
    You mean the document colors - No, like I said photoshop is filtering your image through document profile, proof setup and monitor profile. Why do you want to use Digital color meter anyway for this?
    i dont understand what is the point to measure color values that will change every time a calibrate my monitor.
    Because color values are 'bigger' than whats on your monitor. Your monitor (via photoshop) is only doing the best it can to display those values - which can be anything from LAB colors outside the gamut of your monitor - to CMYK colors. Calibrating it is the only way to allow your monitor to do this in any way accurately. (not ever really possible) Monitors have a certain gamut and are only dispays/representations of the REAL colors that a document, with a profile, holds. So there's only one good reason to measure monitor values, and that's to generate a monitor profile.

  • TS1574 My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.

    My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.atleast 2 to 3 times pressing power button for longer time starts it up and afterwards still there will be no sound. Please help

    This morning i was not able to hear sound on my recently purchased  macbookpro retina 15 inch model.My attempts to resolve this issue by going to system preferences and removing the mute box that was ticked as active. i had downloaded much earlier a mac version of logmein app and noticed that in the sound  box noted above that there was a bar indicating that the default was now to logmein. i had never used this app. Why it started today, i have no idea. I moved the logmein application to trash and deleted the app , however it did not remove the default option which still blocked the sound.
    Going to a macforum gave the tha anser that to remove the logmein app, it first had to be reinstalled a nd them use the uninstaller option ftrom the dropdown menu. for now that has resolved the failure to allow sound oputput.

  • Java update causes problems with color printing in Mac 10.5

    Had a big problem with color printing for the last two weeks. Thought the printer was broken because it would freeze and refuse to be "seen", or would generate error messages. Bought new Samsung 315, and had the SAME problem. Bought new HP CP1518ni, and had the SAME problem. Not resolved after talking to tech support at both places.
    Looked for software updates around the time of the onset of printing problems. on May 15 installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 update" (1.0) (am running on 10.5.8). Removed the Java preferences files (com.apple.java......plist) and restarted.
    Problem solved! Clearly not the printer.

    Hmmm. This is about the time my printer stopped printing too. I've now had two printers in my house and had trouble with both of them. What a pain we should not have to delete updates for our stuff to work together.
