Can't find scanner in Photoshop CS5

Recently, I have had to upgraded to a new Mac Pro /Tower & also had to upgrade all my programs/ apps. I can't seem to get my scanner to work through Adobe Photoshop CS5. [I have a CanoScan LiDE 30.]
I've downloaded all upgrades and have read about similar problems other users have had (on other discuss sites). I came across a discussion about a missing plug-in CS5 was missing.
From the Adobe website, I downloaded, what was said to be the missing plug-in [PSCS5OptionalPluginsMac_enUS] and have tried placing it in different folders all over the place (with restarts) & it either is in the wrong place(s) or its just crap.
Does anyone know which folder this plug-in goes or knows anything about it?
In the mean time I down loaded the canon toolbox (from the Canon website) and have been scanner to the desktop. It works, but there is no extras, just a scan and at optional dpi's.
If anyone else has had this problem, please let me know if you were able to fix it.
OR if you know of a scanner that works well in CS5. THX!!

TWAIN scanner drivers are still supported in Photoshop CS5, but the TWAIN support plugin is no longer installed by default.
You need to do the following:
• Go to the Adobe website. In the Download section, look for Photoshop CS5 updates.
• Download the "Photoshop CS5 12 Optional plugins" file for your language version of Photoshop.
• Once the download is complete, double-click the "CS5Optional_PlugInsInstaller.dmg" file.
• Double-click the file "CS5 Optional Plug-Ins.mxp". The Adobe Extensions Manager will launch and the install process will start.
• When it is finished, quit the Adobe Extensions manager.
• Launch Photoshop CS5.
If the scanner driver is still not visible in the Import menu, your scanner driver may not be 64bit compatible. In this case:
• Right-click on the Photoshop CS5 application icon and select "Get Info".
• In the information window, check the box that says "Run in 32 bit mode".
This solved the scanner problem for me.

Can't find updates for Photoshop CS5 *Extended*

Hi,
I'm checking for updates to Photoshop CS5 *Extended* and only find regular CS5 updates. Do they work on Extended? Without removing the "Extended" aspects? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Do they work on Extended? Without removing the "Extended" aspects?
In other words, YES.
Is something wrong with the auto updater or Help - Updates from the Photoshop menu?

I can enter product code for PhotoShop CS5

I can enter product code for PhotoShop CS5. I bought the product last year, but could not upgrade my computer to accomodate it. Now I have fixed my computer, but it won't accept product code on the box. I bought the student/teacher edition.

Get in touch with S&T support for such issues.

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

Thank you rk. The usefulness of image capture had somehow pased me by. To answer my own second question in case anyone needs to know, to put your printer in the dock you open printer & scanner in preferences, highlight your printer and drag its icon to the dock (in chains if necesary!)

How can i import my scanner into Photoshop CS5?

Hi.
I have just installed Photoshop CS5 for Windows. I went to import my scanner (Epson Lide 500F) and it's not showing up.
I have reinstalled it, but it still doesn't show up.
Do i need to save it into a particular PS file? At the moment it's going into the Programmes file.
Thank you

Photoshop CS5 doesn't ship with a TWAIN scanner interface installed, because it sometimes causes problems due to buggy drivers. It does have a WIA scanner capability; that your scanner does not show up may mean that the drivers for that particular model are not being actively updated by the manufacturer of the scanner.
You can install the optional Twain plug-in into Photoshop CS5 32 bit only, which may get you the functionality you need:

Failing all of the above, you may need to get a new scanner. I have had to buy three myself over the history of Photoshop releases since the '90s simply because of cessation of support. It is the way it is.
Hope this helps.

Twain Drivers Are Not Recognizing my LiDE 100 Scanner in Photoshop CS5?

This is my first post, mainly becuase I'm stumped on every front to this problem, just bought myself a new 17" Macbook Pro the other day and immediately started to update all my drivers, through on Photoshop CS5 among a few other CS5 programs, but this is where things got hairy...
Since this is a 64 bit intel mac (Snow Leapord) , I went over and decided to download the TWAIN plugin, dropped it in the Import/Export plugins folder, went to the Adobe Photoshop app folder and happily clicked boot as 32 bit... aaaaand... NOTHING. It didn't see my scanner, and my scanner is a Canoscan LiDE 100, not that old. I've already had success doing this with Win 64 bit as long as I opened a 32 bit version of Photoshop, but no luck so far on the Mac. The scanner works fine with Image Capture so I know that he scanner is alive.
I've tried rebooting, finding other TWAIN plugins, even out of curiosity I've toggled between 32 and 64 bit Photoshop to see if the Scanner could be recognized. I know I could scan using Image capture, but I'd rather get this problem sorted out. I know that in some cases people boot using Rosetta, but this scanner isn't that old so I don't think that would be the problem.
If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated, and I realize that sometimes the most simple answer is the one that's the most easily overlooked, and I'm hoping that's the case.
Thanks everyone!

Scanning with TWAIN has become increasingly buggy.
Why not just use the Epson scanner software that came with the scanner?
That way you can continue to use Photoshop while using Epson to scan.
There are more features available from Epson than with Image Capture.
However, if you feel the need to use TWAIN, here is the link for Mac CS5 plugin.
Five seconds with Google would get you this:

Can't find Pixel Bender in CS5

Sorry if this item has been discussed before, but After installing Pixel Bender (via the Extension Manager) I can't find it under the Filter menu.
My system meets the requirements, my video card drivers are up tp date, The Photoshop CS 5 Extended version is 12.0.1 (32x).
The Extension Manager panel shows Pixel Bender and it is checked.
I removed and reinstalled it several times but with no succes. Does anyone know what to do next?

@ MTSTUNER
No, it is not listed there.
In PS CS5 after closing I get a warning that the application has crashed (adobeowl.dll). Contacted Adobe about this but got no reply. Lightroom crashes when using the Detail Masking slider (posted that in the appropriate forum). This doesn't seem to get fixed either.
Pixel Bender won't install and I just give up, don't want to waste any more time by visiting yet another forum.
I guess Windows XP is not really supported by Adobe. And there are problems with Win 7 too, I read. Maybe it's better to switch to Mac and use Aperture in combination with The Gimp?
But thanks for the help anyway.
