CC and Vuescan

Does anyone have CC working with Vuescan?  I can't get CC to see Vuescan.  Thanks.

Have you tried with the 32 bit version of Photoshop CC?

  • ACR calibrate tab and Vuescan DNG

    Having ordered a Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner to digitize ektachrome slides, I am now busy reading and thinking about how to best to include scanned pics in my workflow. Note that one key element of my workflow is to do as much as possible in ACR per the teachings of Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe and others. The current ACR 4.x is more than just a raw converter.
    I realize that I can make a custom profile for my scanner. However, ACR does not use scanner profiles or camera profiles. Instead, ACR provides the calibrate tab to accomplish the same purpose. Has anyone calibrated their scanner as follows and if so, do you have any tips/suggestions to share?
    1. Use Vuescan professional to scan an it8 target. One source for reasonably priced targets is Wolf Faust, http://www.targets.coloraid.de/
    2. Tell Vuescan to output the scan as a DNG. Yes, I know this is not a true raw image.
    3. Open the DNG in ACR and go through the calibration process. If you are not familiar with this process, here is a description by the late Bruce Fraser. http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/21351.html
    Of course Bruce was describing the process for using ACR to calibrate a camera, not a scanner. Fortunately, the principles are the same. The color patches on an it8 target are supposed to conform to a standard and you receive a file stating those color values when you buy the target. The goal then is to scan your target and then use the ACR calibrate tab to tweak the colors of the scanned image so they are as close to the standard colors as possible.
    4. To help with step 3, Rags Gardner has posted a CS script for it8 targets at http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/ColorCalibration/
    This script does not do the calibration for you but instead it reads the color values in your scanned target and produces a report showing the color values in your scanned target and the standard color values you are trying to get close to via the calibration process.
    5. Save the result of the scanner calibration and recall it whenever using ACR to process DNGs produced by the same scanner and Vuescan.
    Does this make sense?
    Anyone tried it?
    Can the ACR calibrate process work with a Vuescan DNG?

    Joseph,
    My first reaction is that I would recommend traditional profiling for scanners and skipping ACR completely. That said, I enabled TIF scanner support as a result of a request from another user. He indicated he was satisfied with the results. The ACR calibration script does calibrate. With the proper target datasheet, it can be used with negatives. The read colors script merely reports the target/image differences. The DNG step should be unnecessary.
    Since this is somewhat new territory with CS3, I would be willing to work with you offline to see if we can accomplish something that fits your workflow. Contact me via my web site.
    As a TIF image, I would expect ACR to honor whatever image profile was already tagged on input. Thus, ACR could be used simply for aesthetic tweaking and things like cropping. I must admit I have not tested this thoroughly. It might be treating it as untagged raw values? If so, I have a lot of questions about what ACR does with JPG images.
    If ACR is ignoring the TIF profile, it could explain why Vuescan is not giving you the results you expect. Have you run a target through Vuescan profiling, saved it as TIF, then just run read colors to evaluate the results? Then do the same after opening in ACR with everything defaulted.
    Cheers, Rags :-)

  • Scanning a 35mm slide film and trying to get it a certain image size and resolution

    Hi All,
    I am using the Nikon Super CoolScan8000 and Vuescan program to scan a slide film. I am scanning at this setting: scan resolution 4000 dpi. I have to make it a certain dimension that someone has been asking me for. They want the image at Width = 60cm (approx. 23 inches) and 300 dpi.
    When I scan at 4000 dpi, I'm not sure what size to make the printed width. I have experimented numerous times and I've had no luck with getting exactly what I want. It seems that when I make the width 60 cm (the height adjusts proportionately) and the dpi at 300, the quality is not that great, which it definitely needs to be because it will be printed at a large size.
    Someone please help ASAP!
    Thank you!
    PS I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    You can only get 228 ppi out of the end product. That should be good enough.

  • Why are my RAW files created by Vuescan so dark in Aperture?

    I've been scanning images using Vuescan and saving as 16/48 bit RAW images. These images always look great in Vuescan but when I import these images into Aperture, the images are very dark. I need to do an exposure correction of +2 just to start seeing anything in the midtones. Ed Hamrick, the author of Vuescan, says this is because the RAW files have a gamma of 1.0 (coming straight of the CCD). If I save the same scan in TIFF format, the images look pretty much the same in Aperture and Vuescan.
    My question is what benefits does saving in RAW bring given the large adjustments that I must make. I know I can automate the adjustments at import which might make this less of an issue but I wonder if saving in TIFF is nearly as good. Some of the pictures have a wide dynamic range with lots of shadow detail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help.

    My frustration has been that I am doing the processing twice which is pointless. I need to choose a workflow. Mind you that if Apple supported the full DNG specification, it would be able to deal automatically with these RAW scanned DNG files (I believe they are linear DNGs) and automatically compensate during import just as Lightroom does. I am using the trial version of Aperture - which I feel really comfortable using - but I think I may take Lightroom for a spin prior to making a final choice of software.
    As I tried to clarify, there is no benefit in saving as RAW from a scanner. Just save as a normal 16-bit TIFF and you'll and up with a simplified workflow and no loss of data nor detail. Actually, a DNG is internally just a TIFF.
    Mind you that if Apple supported the full DNG specification, it would be able to deal automatically with these RAW scanned DNG files (I believe they are linear DNGs) and automatically compensate during import just as Lightroom does. I am using the trial version of Aperture - which I feel really comfortable using - but I think I may take Lightroom for a spin prior to making a final choice of software.
    If Apple fully-supported the DNG specification, then the RAW Fine Tuning adjustment would be available with its auto-exposure button to get a good starting point for tweaking the images.
    You could provide Apple with feedback via, Aperture>Provide Aperture Feedback.
    If I continue with Aperture, I am thinking that I will save these files as RAW TIFFs and do the gamma adjustment at import. This should streamline the workflow by making it possible to scan two 4x5s at one without the need to tweak each one in the scan and then do all my processing in Aperture (or Lightroom). I will just trust the scanner.
    You shouldn't trust your scanner, just as you shouldn't always trust matrix metering or 'I'll fix that in post". Aiming for the best starting material is aiming for the best results. So instead, carefully examine each scan, which will not take you that long BTW.
    I will still create the scanner profile of the IT8 target which I should then be able to use as a proofing profile to compensate for any color bias in the Fuji Provia film used. Perhaps I am wrong about this.
    Actually, you're wrong on this. The IT8 provides an input profile, and not an output profile or working space. Imagine scanning a slide and printing it. Softproofing for IT8, then you can't softproof for your printer and vice versa.
    Your post has allowed me to really think through my workflow and I really appreciate the input I've received in this thread. Now, I just wish I could get Apple to add support for Linear DNG (or whatever format Vuescan RAW DNG is which I know contains three colors per pixel rather then one as in Camera Raw) which would provide the additional tools to deal with these DNGs at import.
    Although linear DNG support would indeed be nice for unsupported camera's, it is not necessary here. If Vuescan DNG has three channels, than it is a TIFF. (since demosiacing MUST have been applied, there are no scanners with a Foveon sensor as of yet)
    Well to cut a very long story short just use TIFF for scans. It's a necessity for proper colormanagement and will simplify your workflow.

  • 10.6.4 and Nikon Coolscan 5000 and Fuji ScanSnapS1500M

    Both scanners stopped working after the update. Attempted to re-install the software but no luck.
    Fuji scanner: Software starts but scanner is not recognized by the software
    Nikon scanner: Nikon Scan crashes repeatedly on start (i.e. Won't open).
    Hopefully ScanSnap will update their software soon, however I doubt Nikon will. If anyone had a way around to make it work again it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Two options that you might find useful are Silverfast http://www.silverfast.com/show/scanners-nikon/en.html and VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/
    Silverfast will handle dust removal.
    Silverfast is somewhat expensive, and VueScan is under $100.

  • Updated Security, safari and iTunes 9....But scanner out of servise

    I can use my scanner canoscan 8800F very well before update the security, safari and iTunes 9. After updated.... MP Navigator always broken and Vuescan can't preview and scan, vuescan just can detect my scanner only.

    Hi paleitz, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

  • Tiger and SCSI ?

    Hello
    I try to connect my imacon scanner (SCSI) on my G4 MP500, but I have a message : "Scanner not find"
    I connect it on a Adaptec 2930,
    I try with OS9 and same problem
    I install the software Adaptec for OSX
    If you have a idea?
    Thanks to all the people
    G4MP500   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I forgot to mention that I drive all my scanners with VueScan. As long as they're on the list, they'll run on OS X. I actually do have a scanner that is not supported by the manufacturer under OS X (the SCSI support was never ported), but the SCSI>FireWire adapter and VueScan run that scanner perfectly in Tiger.

  • Open image capture question

    I am having trouble using the detect separate items feature in the Apple open image capture feature.  Instead of separating the scans, it just does one big scan.   Is anybody else having this problem?  If it works for you, what type of scanner do you use?

    Have you tried VueScan? It works well with several scanners. I would give it a shot. I have an old UMAX scanner that has no driver available for Mac OS X and VueScan made it work.

    Here is the link to the latest Cannon driver. Looks kind of old.

  • Acrobat 10 Pro scanning issues

    I just upgraded to Acrobat 10 Pro running snow leopard and Using HP officejet Pro 8500 for scanner. When I try to create a PDF from scanner through Acrobat I get three Choices. SANE, HP Scan, and Vuescan TWAIN.  If I select HP Scan or Vuescan it opens up those respective programs. If SANE is selected the following appears after a few moments.
    After you click ok the following appears.
    I previously installed(before the upgrade to Acrobat 10 from 8.0) the SANE driver but am wondering if I did something wrong. Not sure what I need to do to get Acrobat talking directly to the scanner. I have the latest drivers for the printer.
    My goal is to be able to scan a document (create a PDF ) directly with Acrobat instead of sending the the scan through the other programs and then ulimately to acrobat where the document will be managed.
    I had this set up this way when I had Acrobat 8.0 and before I upgraded to Snow Leopard which I am regretting right now as this is very frustrating after years of it working fine now I find myself dead in the water after an "upgrade" to the OS.  Can someone please help me get this thing working smoothly again.
    From What I have read it might have something to do with TWAIN drivers but frankly I need step by step help to get me back up and running.

    Hi
        You wrote "When I try to create a PDF from scanner through Acrobat I get three Choices. SANE, HP Scan, and Vuescan TWAIN.  If I select HP Scan or Vuescan it opens up those respective programs"  but did not disclose what happens after that. So, please tell if you are able to complete your scanning without any issues after HP Scanning software launches its dialog.
         You also mentioned that you want Acrobat to directly scan from scanner without going through any other software. In this regard, I would like to tell you that, on Mac, Acrobat cannot handle scanning in Headless mode i.e without showing the scanner dialog. Although this works on Windows. Still, I would say it should be better than going through SANE. So, please let me know if you are able to scan directly with HP's genuine software.

  • Epson Artisan 725 scanner fails under Yosemite

    Thought I'd tested everything important before upgrading to Yosemite, but when I went to use the scanner on my Epson Artisan 725, the scan driver fails with error message "Scanner is warming up." It never gets beyond this point. Scanner works fine from my backed up Mavericks system. I went to Epson's web site looking for a driver update & found a popup notice regarding Yosemite which states that Apple is responsible for the Epson drivers via software update. My Yosemite system is all up to date. So it appears Apple dropped the ball here. Suggestions appreciated.

    Apple only distributes what Epson gives them. They don't write the drivers.
    Try Applications/Image Capture and VueScan.

  • Image Capture & ICC profiles

    Is it possible to use Image Capture with my scanner and have it embed something other than the sRGB colour profile when scanning colour photographs? I'd like it to embed AdobeRGB instead. In most other respects I prefer it for scanning photos to Epson Scan and VueScan.

    Hi G-Man,
    It's probably something in the Preferences folder; Users/herusername/Library/Preferences. Start by removing com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist and trying again. If that doesn't do it drag the entire Preference folder to the desktop, log out and back in. Launch it again and if it works you can either reset preferences for all System Preferences and apps or drag the preferences files a group at a time back to the new Preference folder in Library and test Image Capture each time. That way you can narrow it down to the one offending preference file.

  • Apply DNG Camera Profile to scan?

    I am setting up a workflow to scan and process a large volume of slides.  I am scanning with a Nikon LS5000 and Vuescan, outputting as (linear)DNG and then processing in Lightroom.
    For me this is efficient as it unifies my digital and analogue workflows.  I could also just output a raw tiff (not color corrected), but I like the smaller file size and the embedding of LR settings with DNG.
    I have done test scans for which I then created a custom color correction profile in the DNG profile editor.  I am very happy with the level of control over color in the profile editor, and would like to use this to apply color correction to batches of scans shot on a particular film type (kodachrome for example).  I know these tools are designed to be used with camera raw, but they perform equally well with linear files.
    The problem is that as the dng file was not created by a camera, but a scanner (even though the EXIF data shows the LS5000 as 'camera') I can not get the profile to show up in the Camera Calibration/Profile tab in order to apply it to an image.
    Questions:
    1- Is there any way to force the profile to load anyway? (LR could have an 'other' option in the profile tab)
    2- Can I get LR/Profile Editor to consider the LS5000 as a legitimate camera, as opposed to just producing a generic tiff?
    3- Can I somehow manually embed my custom profile into a DNG so that the embedded profile is automatically the right one?
    Thanks.

    I am aware of the issue with the Nef files, as I found out that they are different from Nef camera files and not read by the DNG converter, or anything other than nikon scan.
    There are options though in vuescan with any scanner that allow you to disable all adjustments and export as a 'raw' file, either in tiff or dng format.  Vuescan is then primarily used to control the hardware.  The only processing that is applied to the scan is the calibration (correcting for variations in intensity in the ccd), and optionally IR-dust removal.  The important part is that there is no base curve, gamma, and no color adjustment or icc-profile applied.  For practical purposes LR could treat it as raw.
    As a hamburger it would be very rare and decidedly pink on the inside.  The main 'cooking' should ideally be happening in LR by applying the base curve and color adjustments in one action (camera profile + adjustments) as opposed to in two stages (scanner software followed by PS/LR).  My objective is to minimize the 'destructive' scanner software step, as I only want to scan once.

  • Image Capture can't see Epson v700 scanner in Lion:

    Never Mind. Fixed It.  I re-installed the scanner software (dated July 2009) and everything is fine now.  I don't know how Drivers from before Lion, and the same version # as I was already using, could fix this... but it did.  Maybe someone in the same boat will find it useful.  The drivers are here :   http://www.epson.co.uk/Store/Scanners/Epson-Perfection-V700-Photo/Drivers-Suppor t?supportLandingPage=true
    Hello
    I've recently upgraded my OS X 10.6.8 to Lion... currently at 10.7.4.  I have an Epson v700 scanner, connected via USB, that works with the Epson Scan application and with VueScan.  But Image Capture can't see it.  I installed the ICA driver update from Epson.  I've done the OS X Software Update.  No help so far.
    I can't install the Epson v700 in the Print & Scan preferences pane as well because it just seem to "see" any scanners. I had earlier deleted the scanner because an Epson KB article had said to delete the scanner, then do the OS X Software Update, then to re-add the scanner.  But the scanner is not being seen by OS X directly so I can't add it back... though Epson Scan and VueScan seem to be able to scan.  Very odd.
    Any other suggestions?
    Yes, I've restarted the system... though I may try it again.
    Thanks...

    Canon Australia is hosting a scanner driver for 10.8 and MP Navigator v3.0.5 for your MP180. Install the scanner driver first and then MP Navigator.
    Note that Canon is not hosting an ICA driver for this model, which is used by Image Capture and Preview. So this would explain the lack of the scanner entry in the KB article that Clinton has mentioned (the vendors make the drivers - Apple just hosts them).

  • My MFU does not appear in Image Capture scanner list

    Hi,
    I have a brand new Samsung XPress C460FW/TEG MFU connected over WLAN. This appears perfectly in the list in the Printer and Scanner app, the Samsung's own scan software does see it as well. As it is acessible from Hamrick's ViewScan.
    But
    In the system own Image Capture App it is not there.
    What am I doing wrong? How can I expose the scanner to Imapge Capture? It was there before I upgradet to Yosemite. Now I have 10.10.2
    Regards and many thanks in advance.

    To scan with Image Capture your Samsung needs an ICA driver. The software from Samsung and VueScan most likely support an alternate scanner driver language known as TWAIN. So if you want to scan with Image Capture you need to check with Samsung if they have an ICA driver for your new device.
