Hooking Up Scanner to Photoshop

I used to be able to find my scanner's name in older versions of Photoshop under Import, but for CS5, I don't see it anymore. I can only access the scnner through WIA Support. Is there anyway to fix this? I know it has something to do with TWIAIN, but I know nothing about it. Please help. Thank you.

Trieed before (3 months ago) tried now, no dice. I can run the 3200 in CS5 32 or 64, but WIA only. Folks otherwise actually have driver updates for Win7. Believe me the only reason I am holding on to XP and CS5 there is the scanner. Otherwise, I could use the HD space.
Well, it's also comforting to know that I can, in worst case analysis, I have a backup in case Win 7 f*cks up seriously.
So, if I am missing something, I'd like to know.
And no, the other scanner software is not an option. I do not use software that tell me how an image should look. Quality trumps convenience every time. Even DXO, which I use for it's lens correction capabilities I ignore the rest, except on the rare occasion where I want to see what offbeat effects are possible with the French system.( Gives special meaning to "Being Frenched"! )
BTW, only WIA is available in Desktop also.

  • Canon CanoScan4400F scanner with Photoshop CC

    I am having problems with hooking up my CanoScan4400F scanner to Photoshop CC on Windows7 x64 machine. It worked ok on my old CS5 version under File-Import-CanoScan. I susspect it's got something to do with the x64 system, if so, should I install a new x32 version of Photoshop?
    Thanks very much

    Oh, I forgot to add that the Systems console.log says:
    2006-09-07 11:45:58.255 PhotoStudio[489] CFLog (21): GetDiskFragment returns -2851 for <TWAIN> when trying to load /System/Library/Frameworks/TWAIN.framework/TWAIN
    ...whatever that means...

  • Mac OS 10.6.8 sees my scanner but Photoshop CS doesn't

    Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro sees my scanner but Photoshop CS doesn't. Drivers for my scanner, Epson Perfection  4870 Photo, are installed (based on an Apple update 11/30/13). Scanner and Photoshop CS were fully compatible on an iMac OS 10.6.8 until I traded in the 2006 iMac for a late 2013 iMac, which does not permit the operation of the Photoshop CS.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • From Scanner into Photoshop into iPhoto problem

    I have scanned an old picture using my Epson scanner into Photoshop for enhancement, but I can't figure out how to import it into my iPhoto library.
    I have tried the "add to library" in iPhoto, but no luck. What I'm I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Lolo

    Hi Lolo,
    Save the image from Photoshop to the desktop. Open iPhoto and drag the image into the open iPhoto viewing Window. You cannot save an image into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. If you did, drag it out of the folder and use iPhoto to import the image or drag the image into an open iPhoto viewing window. More info for you:
    --First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    --All images that you import are sown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures.
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.

  • Adding a new Epson scanner to Photoshop CS5.1 on LION computer

    We just recently (today, in fact) installed a new Epon flatbed scanner on an iMac running MAC OS 10.7.2.  It already had Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 on it.  It seems that no matter what we do, when we click on File on go to Import, the scanner option is not there.  I am not an experienced Photoshop user (or an experienced Mac person), I am going by what the end user tells me should be there and how its supposed to work.  She needs to be able to scan from the new scanner in Photoshop.  Is there documentation somewhere that tells us how to get Photoshop to "see" the scanner. 
    The computer is a brand new (a month old) iMac that came with LION.  We had to replace to replace the old scanner becsause it was not supported in LION (supposedly the one we just bought is).

    Are there scanners out there that Photoshop CS5.1 version 12.1 for Macintosh will just recognize without all the intervention by an I.T. person.  Will Photoshop allow scanning from within the application with any scanner?  (the user thinks we should just get another scanner)
    It's important to understand that scanning into Photoshop is not directly between Photoshop and the scanner (hardware). The entire process depends on what scanning software mediates between Photoshop and the scanner. Photoshop just sits there and waits for software to hand it an image. The scanner just sits there and waits for some software to ask for a scan. So it should not be necessary to change the scanner itself. Instead, try changing the scanning software.
    When the software that comes with the scanner doesn't do what someone wants, sometimes they turn to third-party scanning software. I use VueScan, which has historically run as a separate application, but recently added the option to be launched from within Photoshop as a plug-in and return the image straight into Photoshop, just like she wants. As long as your scanner is on the supported list, this is a possible solution. But it'll cost a little money.
    VueScan is an good example of how critical software is to scanning. Many people use VueScan to get around limitations of the bundled software. Sometimes they want more features than the scanner's own software came with. Sometimes they need it because the bundled software no longer works in the latest Mac or Windows OS, so it lets people keep running old scanners for many more years, instead of having to buy a new one.

  • Faire reconnaitre mon scanner par photoshop sous mac

    Bonjour,
    je viens d'acquérir une imprimante mutlifonction officejet 7612, et j'aimerais pouvoir utiliser le scanner sous photoshop CS4 et CS5.
    j'ai bien installer le plugin twain je possède deja un simple scanner Canon qui lui est reconnu,  CS4 ni le CS5 ne le reconnait, j'ai épuisé mon modeste savoir faire en la matière, sachant que via le logiciel HP scan tout fonctionne, je sui sous mac os 10.9
    si quelqu'un a la solution je lui en serais éternellement reconnaissant!

    Hi
    If this is truly a G5 Mac and you've not confused it with similar looking Intel Hardware then as far as I know you can't install 10.6 on a G5 Mac. What version of the OS exactly is installed on the G5?
    Assuming I've understood you correctly You can't use 10.6 SIU to create NetBoot Images of an operating system prior to 10.6. To create an nbi of a 10.5 System you would need 10.5 SIU installed on a 10.5 Server or Client OS. Once the NetBoot Image has been created you can 'serve' the image from 10.6 Server's NetBoot Service.
    HTH?

  • Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding scanner. Photoshop no problem.

    Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding the scanner wirelessly unless it is on when the Mac starts up. Photoshop finds the scanner no problem. Any suggestions for Image Capture or Preview?
    The scanner is Canon MP620. Mac is MBP, running 10.8.2
    I have done all the uninstall, reinstall, update drivers, etc. Please don't bother suggesting that stuff.
    Thanks.

    As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions).  With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works.....  I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
    As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
    If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

  • Can I use my new scanner in Photoshop x64

    I just purchased a Canon MP6150 and would like to use it in Photoshop just as I used to before, that is with very precise settings. The only available interface is Wia support or something and it is frightfully basic. So what can I do? Which software to use? I'm on Windows 7. Isn't there any x64 compatible Twain plugin available for Canon scanners or something? Thanks

    Very few scanners have 64 bit TWAIN drivers.
    You should use the stand alone software that came with the scanner, or petition the scanner maker for updated WIA drivers and TWAIN 64 bit drivers.

  • Problem using Epson V600 scanner in Photoshop CS2

    The scanner opens its dialogue window, no problem.  I can do a Preview scan without any problem, but when I request a Scan, this progresses properly, but the resultant scan is presented in the Photoshop workspace on top of the Epson dialogue windows.  At this point all of the Photoshop features are greyed-out so that I cannot move the scanned image to close down the Epson windows.   The only way I can make progress is to minimise Photoshop, close the Epson windows and then maximise Photoshop again.
    Previously I had an Epson Perfection 3200 scanner which always maintained the scanner windows on top - and so could be closed with a click.
    Is there any way to keep the Epson Scanner windows on-top and automatically send the scanned image to the back on Photoshop CS2?    This should be simple, but I have tried most things.

    Yes, but , Search coiuld not find  the twain plug -in / >

  • 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.

  • 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:
