Canon CanoScan Lide25 and PS CS4

Back when I had Photoshop CS3 installed, my Canon CanoScan Lide25 USB scanner appeared in the File... Import... Canon Scanner.  But with my recent upgrade to CS4, it's no longer there, and I have to scan using the horible Canon software on my OSX 10.6.2 system.
When I was using CS3, I don't recall doing anything special to get Photoshop to recognize the scanner; it was just in the File... Import... menu.  I have the latest Canon driver/software installed, and I even installed it after I installed Photoshop (if that matters).  But still, there's no scanner import in CS4.
Any idea why this is, and how I can get it back in the File... menu?
Thanks!

I use the ScanGear CS driver for my CanoScan CS440F.
It's a few steps up from an LiDe model, but like you, I was unable to use the Import menu to scan until I visited Canon's website and reinstalled the ScanGear driver.
I had an LiDe 20 and an LiDe 30 with CS, CS2, and CS3. I never had a problem with either of them in any version. Maybe I'm just lucky I guess.
If it weren't for about 1600 slides I inherited and needed to preserve digitally, I never would have gotten rid of the other two, but the CS4400 scans slides and they didn't.

  • Canon XH G1s and Premiere CS4

    I just bought a Canon XH G1s and tried to transfer some footage to Premiere. It would not allow me to view the footage while importing, even though it did import (with some problems on a few of the clips, like saying that one clip had been captured at 110 fps). I am using a new G5 with Premiere CS4, and am hoping that the camera is compatible. I would hate to think I spent $7,000 for a camera that won't work with CS4's Premiere Pro. Yikes! Any help would be appreciated.

    Thats correct no image in the capture screen while capturing.
    You could use HDVSplit instead, which also does scene splitting which Premiere doesn't.

  • Canon CR2 RAW and PhotoShop CS4

    Just got the RAW update for my Canon SX1 IS.
    Neither Bridge CS4 nor PhotoShop CS4 (both fully updated) recognise the format despite CR2 being listed in the Bridge file associations for PhotoShop CS4.
    In Bridge I just get a file icon.
    In PhotoShop I get a 'file type not recognised' type of message.
    Must I use Canon Digital Photo Profession to convert to TIF for processing in Adobe Camera Raw, or am I missing something?

    Thanks for the tip Ellir. I downloaded 5.4RC last night and it didn't have support (tested) and today official 5.4 gets released with the support. I feel lucky
    And to whiners, I'm just asking a question. I really feel that forums would have warmer welcoming and less elitism. But oh well.
    Anyways SX1 problem solved, tested and it works. Thank you Adobe.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • WARNING:  Canon Pro Printers and CS4 – Serious Colour Management Issue

    Over the last four days (and over fifty prints) I have undertaken extensive and meticulous tests to identify the cause of a problem; namely that targets for profiling a new printer (a Canon Pro9000), printed with ‘no colour management’, were printing far too dark and with what appeared to be a colour cast.
    I have conclusively eliminated the printer, the printer drivers, the Mac OS, corrupted preference files, corrupted user accounts, incorrect Photoshop settings, incorrect printer driver settings, the ‘sticky settings' issue, and user error as possible causes of the problem.
    I can say with 95% certainty that my tests, conducted using Mac OSX 10.4.11, have proved the following:
    That, printing to a Canon Pro9000 or iP4500, Photoshop CS4 does not print accurate targets suitable for producing profiles.  This applies to both the No Colour Management (NCM) and the Printer Manages Colour (PMC) settings.
    Photoshop CS and CS2 are not effected.
    I did not test CS3.
    Furthermore, colour managed prints (using the same accurate profile made in CS2), printed in CS2 and CS4, show subtle differences.  This may not be an issue except in the most critical applications.
    It is likely that the problem will not be confined to the two Canon printers above since many other Canon printers share the same driver architecture.
    Reading posts and discussions on other websites would seem to indicate that this problem is also manifest with some Epson printers and may also effect Mac OSX 10.5.
    I have to conclude, therefore, that Photoshop CS4 cannot be replied upon to print targets of sufficient accuracy to produce reliable profiles for a colour managed workflow.
    The fact that this is only just being reported can be attributed to four factors:
    That many CS4 users are continuing to use profiles made under older versions of Photoshop and have yet to make new profiles using CS4.
    Some users may not immediately notice a problem, or may ascribe it to other causes.
    Some users may take the line of least resistance and use a previous version of Photoshop to work around the problem.
    Some users are still using the older versions of Photoshop not effected.
    Eric Chan (of Adobe) has stated on another website that CS4 implemented some new APIs for printing and that this has given rise to some "minor glitches".  If Eric Chan is correct, and Adobe changed the APIs in Photoshop CS4, this begs question of whether Adobe sufficiently tested CS4 before release ?  If Adobe did not test their software, and therefore failed to identify this critical problem, this would suggest negligence on Adobe’s part.  If Adobe identified the problem but then did not inform users that a potentially serious colour management issue existed this would suggest wilful or gross negligence.
    It is not good enough to say that Adobe simply followed the ‘conventional’ path and ‘followed the rules’ regarding API implementation.  The experience of end users does not correspond to a “minor glitch” and, in my case, has been extremely costly in terms of time (over five days in all), lost revenues, and materials.  Furthermore, why should Adobe's customers be forced to use their valuable time diagnosing problems clearly of Adobe's creation – and actually admitted.
    In UK law providers of goods and services (and this includes software) have to supply them as “fit for purpose”.  Clearly, in terms of colour management, CS4 is not fit for purpose.  Neither can Adobe hide behind its labyrinthine licensing terms since any exclusions would be ruled unlawful under the UK’s ‘Unfair Contract Terms’ Act.
    My strong and unequivocal recommendation is that representatives from Adobe, Apple, and the printer manufacturers meet together – with the utmost urgency – and provide a rapid and complete solution.  It is simply not good enough to pass this ‘over the wall’ saying “it’s not our problem”.  It is.  Adobe's, Apple's, and the printer manufacturers'.  Please solve it.  And quickly.
    Identify the problem clearly, make it and the solution/s public; and publicise it widely and thoroughly.

    Dear DYP.
    Thank you for your concern.
    "What fixes have you tried?"
    If I may quote from my post above:
    "I have conclusively eliminated the printer, the printer drivers, the Mac OS, corrupted preference files, corrupted user accounts, incorrect Photoshop settings, incorrect printer driver settings, the ‘sticky settings' issue, and user error as possible causes of the problem.
    I can say with 95% certainty that my tests, conducted using Mac OSX 10.4.11, have proved the following:

    Photoshop CS and CS2 are not effected.
    I did not test CS3"
    These tests took place over three weeks and involved over five days of work and the replacement of the printer on Canon's recommendation (although the printer is clearly not at fault).
    Please note that I am using Mac OSX 10.4.11.
    "What driver versions are you using?"
    Pixma iP4500 6.9.3 (also 6.9.1, 6.9.2 and the driver supplied on the CD).
    Pro 9000 4.8.7 (also 4.7.3, 4.8.4 and the driver supplied on the CD).
    "Yes it is frustrating but in a lot of cases it is fixable as I and others have clear reported, on this and the LR forums."
    I have not found any fix on any website referring to Canon printers, despite exhaustive searches (this includes Canon's European and US websites which are mute on the issue).
    The ReadMe file supplied with the installation disc of CS4 refers to problems with "some Canon printers" when printing with the 'Printer Manages Color' but does not identify using 'No Color Management' nor Epson printers as having issues.
    I hope this post answers your questions.
    Clearly all users of CS4 need to be warned of this problem which is likely to effect other printers.  I believe that I am assisting others by issuing this warning.  It is done, not to cause mischief, but in the spirit of a public service.  CS4 users can then treat their printing results from CS4 with caution, and then conduct their own tests.  I have presented a workaround which is to use a prior version of CS4.

  • I loaded Mountain Lion and now my Canon Canoscan LIDE100 Scanner won't work. I reloaded the application, checked the driver & loaded the Canon driver for Mountain Lion. Aplication starts to load then hangs up on 80% complete.   Any suggestions?

    Might have a hardware issue that was caused by the minor liquid spill.
    Take it to Apple to have them look at it.  I think they do a free diagnostics.  That way you can find out what's wrong with your MB.
    Good luck....Hope you get it sorted out.

  • Canoscan N1240U and OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard

    Dear all
    Having seen MANY other threads on the topic and having done lots of playing myself, I thought I would share how I got my scanner working today.
    1. I downloaded both the Canoscan Toolbox and the latest drivers from here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndex1Act&fcategoryid =104
    Note that they are ONLY available from the US site. The European/UK site which I originally went to only has version 4 driver for 10.1.x and will not work as it is Classic 9 binary.
    2. Change your account to have full Admin rights within the Accounts pane. For some reason, none of it is happy installing without those rights.
    3. Install the drivers first. They will be installed to your System area. Reboot.
    4. Install the Canoscan Toolbox to Applications. You MUST have this installed for the scanner to work.
    5. Install the drivers AGAIN. This time the installer will put them in the Canoscan folder in Applications. Reboot again.
    6. Plug in your scanner. At this point you will think it is broken. It isn't. OSX will find it but, unlike under Windows, it will not do make a short calibration whirring noise as if it is scanning.
    7. Run Canoscan Toolbox and set-up the buttons and Settings as you want.
    8. Press one of the button on the front of the Scanner (Copy, Scan or Email). Personally, I have the "Email" button set to scan the document and create a PDF as I am increasingly going paperless and scan most things rather than filing.
    9. The software & scanner should start calibrating at this point and start scanning. You can leave it running or cancel as not, it is entirely up to you, as long as you have the warm glow of satisfaction at having got an 8 year old piece of kit working with Snow Leopard.
    Best Regards
    GeekDaddy

    The following notes report back on reviving the Canoscan N1240U under OS 10.5.8 - I understand how confusing it is that the software does not appear to be installing in the locations specified (above) - go ahead and do the 2nd round of installations, and with luck (fingers crossed) you will also see your old scanner come to life.
    As is ALWAYS the case (in my experience) you will not find coherent instructions on the manufacturer's website. This is surely not by accident. Don't waste any valuable time attempting to glean a method from there.
    And another piece of electronics has been diverted from the 'average path' of becoming toxic landfill. I'm sure Canon hates this! I poke my tongue at them.
    And now, to attempt my next trick - resume printing to a venerable old HP LaserJet 5MP. Another journey with many obstacles.

  • Can't get Canon CanoScan LiDE30 to work with Macbook OS 10.4.11

    Hi, can't seem to install driver for my old Canon CanoScan LiDE30. The disk that comes with the scanner doesn't work. I've tried downloading the appropriate driver from the Canon website but I must be missing something - altho I get a message saying driver was installed, when I re=start my Mac I don't see the download anywhere and the scanner won't even start up when it is plugged in. Suggestions?
    Thanks

    I have the same Canon scanner on my Mac running Tiger. Click on my TMM name at left & send me an email. I'll then send you the necessary file.

  • Color profile management across LR and ps CS4

    Problem the same file when sent from LR to cs4 for fine tuning looks totally different its color.
    Therefore I'd like some advice on how to setup my color profiles for my monitor, LR and Photoshop CS4.  I shoot with Canon and the last articles have been advising to go with the Prophoto profile for it's large spectrum.
    I can set the monitor and CS4 to that....but what is LR's profile.  I can't even FIND the default.  I'm sorry.  I've poked around and poked around.
    I don't have any problems setting the profiles for printing....that part I got.
    I only used to use photoshop and didn't have these issues...but I'd like to get the programs sync'd.
    My OS is Vista.....shortly to be WIndows 7.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, the problem is that lots of monitors install profiles that have a
    corrupt perceptual rendering intent. This is very strange but unfortunately
    true. Especially Dell and Samsung monitors have this issue. Lightroom uses
    the perceptual intent if present and Photoshop uses relative to render to
    the display profile. This is only an issue on windows machines and you can
    check whether this is what is causing your problem by going to your
    monitor's properties dialog and clicking on the color management tab. There
    you should delete any profile you see. This will make windows assume that
    your monitor is sRGB and should make Lightroom and Photoshop render
    identically. This is only a test. Both will render the image wrong since
    your monitor is unlikely to be exactly sRGB. The ONLY way to get correct
    color in any program whether it be Photoshop or Lightroom is to calibrate
    and profile your monitor using one of the hockey puck calibrators. You can
    have a reasonable one (Spyder 2 or Huey Pro) for under $100. Better ones are
    $150 to $250 and often include printer profiling too. The cheapest ones do a
    very good job already if you're not too extremely critical.
    Note that we have seen literally hundreds of issues like this on this forum
    all caused by bad monitor profiles. People only noticed that this was
    happening because they compared Lightroom to Photoshop and saw a difference.
    They were having bad color in every app before already.

  • CanoScan 3200F and Snow Leopard?

    Is the Canon CanoScan 3200F compatible wit 10.6.8?   I tried using Image Capture and it doesn't even detect the scanner.

    According to the Canon site it's compatible with 10.6 >  Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : CanoScan 3200F
    If you have not done so, download and install the drivers.

    I believe they do have MacIntel drivers. Look at this page:

    You should know that the MP830 does not work on the USB port of an Airport. I asked Canon about this and they confirmed that it does not work. Also, you cannot fax from your Mac directly to the MP830 - again Canon confirmed this.
    I like the MP830 a lot, but it bugs me that these two features don't work. Canon really has no excuse because some of their printers do work on the Airport USB. I don't know if other Canon printers allow direct faxing from a Mac.

  • Canon Vixia HG21 and Premiere CS3

    We just purchased a Canon Vixia HG21 and are unable to import the footage into Premiere CS3. Files are of .m2ts extension. Is Premiere CS3 not able to read these? Is CS4 better or able to? What are our options?

    we have upgraded to CS4 and the program still can't import the m2ts files this camera generates
    I assume that this means that you have the full-paid version of CS4. Is that correct? The reason that I ask is because the trial version will not handle anything MPEG.
    Now, there have been reports of full-paid versions of CS4 reverting to the trial version, with the updating to CS4.2. If this has happened, again, you will not have support for anything MPEG. One test would be to find an MP3, or some other MPEG Asset, and try to Import that. If you get a failure, you likely have a trial version now. See Below:
    The "cure" is to de-Activate your version and THEN uninstall. Run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 3 - 4 times, rebooting between each. Next step is to install the CS4 version, Activate again and then apply all updates to CS4.2. We do not know what causes a few updates to change the installation to the trial, but it happens too often. The above steps, in that order, work for all.
    Good luck, and let us know if that helps.
