Does Apple's ImageKit really allow scan import into Photoshop?

On this page Adobe claims:
If your scanner manufacturer does not support scanning in 64-bit mode, or you have issues scanning with TWAIN, you can scan into Photoshop CS6 using Apple’s ImageKit technology, which is built into Photoshop CS6, does not need a plug-in to be installed, and provides access to a large number of scanners.
That doesn't work with my Epson Perfection V350 Photo. I wonder if it actually works with any scanner. With Photoshop CS6 have wiped out many scanners that don't have 64-bit compliant drivers, why doesn't Adobe connect with Apple's Image Capture app? Why doesn't the V350 work with the ImageKit technology alllegedly part of Photoshop CS6?
Adobe needs to restore the import from scanner capability that has been part of Photoshop for years.

Hi nicmart,
The ImageKit scanning feature in Photoshop CS6 supports exactly the same scanners as Image Capture does. Unfortunately, this feature is currently broken in Photoshop when running Mountain Lion (CS6 was released prior to the release of Mountain Lion). We are working closely with Apple to resolve the problem. This issue has been discussed in detail in several other forum threads since the release of ML. As soon as we have more information, we will let people here in the forum know.
If you are running Lion or Snow Leopard, you should find that indeed a large number of scanners are supported without any additional software needed, and can be used to scan directly into Photoshop CS6. Apple publishes a list of hundreds of supported scanners in a tech note, which you can find at <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669>

Epson 2450 Scanner no longer available as an import into Photoshop

Hello,
I am having a problem with my Epson 2450 scanner importing into Photoshop. Last week with thoughts of upgrading, I purchased an Epson V700. I installed the scanner but found it not to my liking and returned it. Yesterday I downloaded and ran the Uninstaller to remove the V700. This however deleted my 2450 driver as well. I reinstalled the 2450 driver from Epson but then, and after repeated attempts, found that the 2450 is not showing up as an import option. Please note that I am still using Tiger. Any suggestions to getting this all working again as it has for the past 8 years would be greatly appreciated. One simple use of an uninstaller has turned for the worse - I wish I had just kept the V700 installed and just ignored that it was still listed in Photoshop as an import choice. (Please note also, that I am a high school photo teacher and was planning on giving the 2450 to my school. I was not able to load the driver and use the scanner through Photoshop on our school Macs either.)
Thank you,
Nick M.

Hello, did you repair Permissions & reboot yet?
One possible option is Vuescan...
http://www.hamrick.com/
It supports the 2450, can be made to send the scan directly to PhotoShop, and has many more features than Epson's SW does.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

I don't believe you can at this time. The only way to get PS Touch to import a PSD is to upload it to Creative Cloud first (but even then it'll flatten any layers).

VBA code to import scanned images into Photoshop CS2 with TWAIN

Hi,
I have to develop a solution that automates the scanning of an image using the TWAIN driver interface. Once scanned, the image appears as a new document in Photoshop where it will be further processed using VBScript scripts.
The solution so far :
Using the freeware 'EZTW32.dll' (copied into C:\WINDOWS\System\), I am able to open the TWAIN scan dialogue on screen, using the function 'TWAIN_AcquireToClipboard(Me.Hwnd, nPixTypes) from the 'EZTW32' dll.
Once the image is scanned, the TWAIN driver is automatically closed, leaving the scanned image on the Windows clipboard.
I then launch Photoshop CS2 using a shell code :
(It is important that Photoshop runs minimized)
Dim strPathname As String
Dim lngShellReturn As Long
Dim appRef As Object
Dim newDocRef
strPathname = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe"
lngShellReturn = Shell(strPathname, vbMinimizedNoFocus)
Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
When Photoshop is running, then a new document is created and the scanned image is pasted into the document from the Windows clipboard...
Set newDocRef = Documents.Add(8.268, 11.693, 600, "New Doc")
newDocRef.Paste
OK, this works up to a point. The newly scanned image appears automatically in Photoshop.
The big problem is that when the user makes a change in resolution or draws a selection box in the TWAIN dialog, this data is not recovered from TWAIN, so the image size parameters in the new document cannot be set.
A beter solution would be to write code that emulates the menu commands in Photoshop CS2:
File -> Import -> [Current Scanner]
that launches the TWAIN driver for the current scanner (the code must close TWAIN immediately after scanning). In this case, the resolution and image selection parameters are also imported into the new document.
I am currently refering to the Photoshop CS2 SDK. Do I need to request the Advanced SDK ?
Once beyond this point, then I think I can continue the image processing routines using VBScript as per the SDK.
Any help or other pointers to the TWAIN problem would be VERY APPRECIATED !
Lars

PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST !
I have now fully resolved the TWAIN problem. It works perfectly and is very robust. I am now continuing with the batch image processing for the newly scanned images using the Photoshop CS2 SDK scripting documents, that I find very detailed, well written, and VERY helpful :)
Peace and love,
Lars

How do you export a Premiere Pro screen shot without distortion when importing into Photoshop?

How can I take a screen shot in Premiere Pro (CS6 or CC) without it becoming distorted? Lately, when doing this, the images are elongated. Then, when I bring the image into Photoshop, it looks fine, except that the Pixel Aspect Ratio has been automatically engaged. I seem to not be able to do anything to the image to correct it and when saved, it goes back to its distorted form. What am I doing incorrectly? What is the fix for this? Is this a Premiere issue or a Photoshop issue? BTW, I posed the same question on the Photoshop forum. SIDE NOTE: I tried to resolve this via a chat session...that was an exercise in futility.
Thanks!

The MTS files that I imported into my project are 1080i 29.97 fps, upper field first, 1.0 pixel aspect ratio.
I tried encoding an AVI with the Lagarith codec with these settings and had better results this time but the frame rate still stuttered.
I even tried making an MOV with the H.264 setting and had strange results.
I can make an H.264 MP4 at 1920x1080 with no problem.
What are the exact settings for an MOV or AVI just in case I missed something? I really want to have an uncompressed file to archive that can be easily edited later on. I'm thinking that MOV would be the most flexible format.

Scanning directly into Photoshop Elements 8 from Officejet 5740

Png-24 import into photoshop cs3

Anyone know a way to import png24 into photoshop cs3 / cs4?
whenever i do it all i get is a solid transparency.
i want to be able to batch several icons. lowering them in image size.

Does that remove the transparency or show the mask? The reason I ask is I have someone on another forum that is quite inquisitive. And would like to know how to do this. He states it is possible to do in AE so it should be possible in photoshop.
I currently only have CS3 but hopefully that changes next month.
The images that he needs this done on are renders from a 3d program. I assume he prefers png format even though it does support of formats including those that don't support transparency or an alpha. The thing is some images can take quite awhile to rerender.
The work arounds I told him about was to either
a)render just the background and place it on its own layer below the image. or
b)use a 3rd party program that does not support transparency or alphas like MSPaint.
I will forward your suggestion about CS5 though as I don't know what version he is using.
If anyone is interested in the other conversation you can find it here at http://www.spinquad.com/forums/showthread.php?29237-Photoshop-equiv-of-AE-s-quot-ignore-al pha-quot

Import into photoshop as layered smart objects

is there a way to import images into mulitiple images into photoshop as smart objects from bridge?
Thanks

I tried to using the ACR export setting: 'open as Smart Objects in PS' and
hit done, revert to Bridge and with Tools - load to layers.
It seemed the obvious route for me but it did not work sadly enough.
However using the load to layers tools gives you the option to select the
layers in the file and then convert to smart objects, only you have to do it
one by one I'm afraid.
is there a way to import images into mulitiple images into photoshop as smart
objects from bridge?

What does Apple HW Test really test about hard drive?

My 2002 FP iMac was recently jolted. The internal hard drive is no longer recognized. Here is what I know:
When I boot with the Apple Hardware Test CD which came with the computer, it does not recognize anything wrong with the hard drive.
When I boot from an external hard drive, I get a dialog with buttons to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject the hard drive.
When I open Disk Utility (external HD boot), it can see the disk, but says it is unformatted.
I also downloaded a trial data recovery program and it could not find anything identifiable on the hard drive.
I don't really know what the Apple Hardware Test program tests with the hard drive, so I don't know how to interpret the information I have.
My questions:
Is there any hope for salvaging anything from the hard drive? (Probably not?)
Is the drive itself likely to be OK if I format and re-install my OS? (Is that what the HW Test is telling me?)
I have not tried to format the drive, because there are a few things I would really like to salvage. I have also not opened it up to examine anything on the inside because I would not know what to look for.
Suggestions for how to proceed will be welcome.

The data on the ill-fated hard drive may be recoverable; could be
there has been damage to the drive or the software on it that lets
the computer read files from the drive.
Some disk utilities such as Disk Warrior could see about trying to
fix the drive; although if physical damages exist, it can't fix that.
The booted OS X Installer's Disk Utility has options in the Installer
menu bar (drop down menu to select other things, when not just
reinstalling) and you could see if OS X's Disk Utility from the booted
Installer disc could give you a status report on the drive in Verify, &
also see what it says about 'Repair drive' when chosen to try a fix.
Sometimes, the OS X's Disk Utility can't fix something, and at that
point, other utilities (retail on DVD) may be able to. Then, the tossup
is, whether or not you want to pay for the utility to fix an old drive, or
put the money into a new one.
Data Recovery software is available as download, so if the old hard
disk drive were removed from the computer and a new drive put in,
later on the failed drive could be investigated through use of software
(such as those which can recover, then you pay to unlock results)
and that is another way to consider addressing the old drive contents.
Some would suggest, if you had Disk Warrior or some other disk utility
that could fix the old drive good enough to try and get data off it, maybe
even a full clone or just the files you need, then you would not need to
get the data recovery software. Of course, that software which runs to
see if you have recoverable files, can do that part for free.
The AHT may see the drive is present, while not recognizing a
failure in its firmware or in its directory, etc. Some kinds of disk
utilities can try to rebuild and replace a damaged directory or
other bits of software on the drive so it can be read again.
Usually, the test for the hard disk drive is Disk Utility on the
OS X Installer; and that gives you the boot version that sees
even a healthy drive as an unmounted and repairable volume
when it is correct and not beyond the limited ability of the utility.
Hopefully something practical comes from all these words...
Good luck & happy computing!

How much sales does Apple lose by not allowing upgrade of hardware?

I wonder if Apple has ever conducted market research to find out how much sales they lose because of the inability to upgrade components with a mac?
I suspect they haven't done so because they don't wish to find out the answer!
I imagine they have simply assumed that they don't want to affect the bottom line sales of new macs by allowing users to upgarde their older machines.
I believe this is a shortsighted view. If for instance users could upgrade components inside the tower, by being allowed to say buy the motherboard on its own. There would be significant numbers of people who would buy the tower (who now don't) that would offset the reduction in sales of new complete systems in the future.
Wouldn't it be fun to find out?
Instead of having to spend $3000 to upgrade to the latest and greatest by buying a complete system Apple could offer the motherboard to repace the older one thus saving the consumer a lot of money! Is this not what serving the customer is really about? and part of the reason why they only have 5% market share?

Since you asked, and I seem to be in a particularily foul mood today, I'll take some of that action.
I quit the upgrade dance three years ago when I found out I could have a great little Unix workstation that sat on my lap. No longer am I forced to worry what hardware will work with Solaris, or Linux, or FreeBSD. I plunk down my money, and it works. Works so well that all of the machines I've purchased (one per year) are just as relevant as they day I purchased them. Yeah, they don't work so fast as the newest, but so what?
Dell, HP, Gateway; they do not allow you to purchase motherboards in which to upgrade your computer. Not notebooks (never, ever in fact), and only desktops because their crummy form-factor is pretty much the same as everyone else. But that's been changing too.
If you have a question about the Macbook Pro, please ask it. Otherwise, thanks for the opportunity to vent on you. It's been a rather sad day for me and I appreciate the chance to take it out on you.

Have Photoshop Elements 12, recently purchased Epson Workforce WF-7620 Printer/scanner , cannot import scanned pictures into Photoshop, does not see the Printer/scanner.

How can I get my Photoshop Elements 12 to import scanned images from my Epson Workforce WF-7620 ?. The program does not recognise the Priner/scanner.

Is it trying to get you to join photoshop.com? The easiest way around that is not to use the welcome screen. Go into the program files and make direct shortcuts for the organizer and/or editor and start PSE that way from now on. Photoshop.com is dead and gone so the welcome screen will hang up trying to connect to something that no longer exists.
