Cannot scan photos into catalog

I have an HP printer, 6300 series, that has been able to scan photos into my catalog up until the last time I used it. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it and it worked great. Tonight I went to scan in some photos for a graduation invite and it will not import them. It says they are already in the catalog. They're not. Obviously there is a communication problem. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this or lead me in the right direction as to who can help me with this? Windows updates are current. Thank you, I use pse 7 and it has worked fine in the past. Thank you.

Hi Garry,
Thanks for your response. I did check the steps you sent below and yes,
it's a 32.8BA file. However, when I open up Twain 32 properties under scan
results (from the Import-Export) it comes up with: Trend micro security has
checked this file for computer viruses and other security threats. The
results appear below and it lists File Name: Twain 32.8BA Scan results No
incidents detected. I checked the trend micro and it's currently off so I'm
confused with this. I get nervous when getting into the nitty gritty of the
computer.
I did find the scans I tried to bring into my catalog buried deep in some
files I never knew existed. In further review of forums I found somebody
suggested to bring the photos in under card reader and choose my printer
from the drop down menu. I tried it and it worked bringing them into the
catalog. BUT, why can't I get it to work the proper way? Is the trend
micro blocking it? This is certainly not my expertise, I appreciate your
patience. Thanks.

Problem with importing scanned photos into iPhoto

I have an Epson scanner that scans photos into the JPEG format. However, when I try to import these photos into iPhoto I am told that the file format is incompatible with iPhoto. This is odd since photos in iPhoto ARE in JPEG format.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sir Leicester

Did you scan these photos as grayscale b/w photos? If so that's the reason. iPhoto does not support the grayscale mode when it has the *+Dot Gain 20%+* profile added to it and that's what scanners use.
Rescan all b/w images as color and they will be accepted by iPhoto. Or you can download the Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, from Toad's Cellar and drop the files onto the application. This will batch convert them to jpegs in the RGB mode with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.

What and how an email is seen on the other person's machine is dependent on their settings and not what you do. You can, for instance, send a HTML email, but if they haven't set their machine to deal with those, it won't work. It's all down to them.

Scan photos into PSE 9

I am quite and amateur to PSE9 and want to successfully scan photos into PSE for editing. Anyone have a step by step resource I should follow? Thanks.
Rcre

I have an iMac with OS 10.6.6 and a Canon Pixma MP970. I tried that process of moving the Twain plugin over. The scanner did show up in the File>import menu, but every time I chose the MP970 PSE9 would crash. I tried choosing MP970 Series Network and it would not recognize the scanner. Tried quitting and restarting PSE9, then tried restarting the computer. Same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Best format for importing scanned photos into FCP in HDV?

Hi,
I'm importing a lot of scanned photos into FCP, for an HDV project. I will be zooming into these images, panning, and so on.
What is the consensus on the best format to use? I was thinking TIFF but then reading about PNG I am thinking this is perhaps better.
I am dealing with large (up to 1200 dpi) image files, so size is an issue.
Many thanks for your thoughts.

Right, use a PSD with photos on different layers, Import the one document into FCP, each photo is on a different layer in FCP and you can zoom in as you wish by using key frames, once you set all your photos (Layers) the way you want all the same or different etc... you copy and paste them into the time line. I do this all the time and add transitions or effects. works well even with company logos off of a web site. You can zoom in all you want. dude
from a link you provided
PSD
Increasingly then image editability is becoming important. The obvious way of maintaining maximum information and maximum editability is to stick with the native application-specific format. Of course it was to avoid this go-it-alone anarchy that file format standards had to be developed in the first place, but the situation with bitmap images is quite special. Currently the vast majority of designers are working on their images in Photoshop and then exporting them to TIFF to use in their DTP application. Why not just cut out the middleman and support the industry standard Photoshop’s PSD format directly?
After all the format is well known. The core format PSD 3.0 format is built on a short header specifying the image size and colour channels and then three information sections called the Colour Mode Data Block, Image Resources Block and Layer and Mask Information Block defining features such as duotone settings, channels and paths and layer opacity and blend mode respectively. After that comes the image data. Naturally the PSD format can support all the advanced features we’ve already looked at such as duotones, clipping paths and channels but it also offers one feature that no other file format does. While every other format must be flattened on export, PSD is the only format that supports layers. Any program that supports PSDs directly can then leverage this layer information as Adobe ImageReady and Deneba Canvas show. Currently the DTP support is fairly basic but the possibility of changing image blend modes or editing layer text or tweaking adjustment layers depending on the actual spread in which the image appears is creatively mouthwatering.

Batch scan photos into bridge

Hi,
Hope I can find a solution to this puzzle. I was given an envelope containing several pages containing black and white proof photos of my friend's mother's wedding. The photos are approximately 1 x 1.5 inches in size.
I want to scan them into Bridge so I can fix any blemishes (ie, watermarks/dust, etc) and then compile these photos into a website so they can be viewed.
I also want to save each photo individually so my friend may arrange to print copies at a photo booth.
I was thinking along the lines of making a cardboard mask to block out half of the photos hoping that my scanner may scan the photos individually (it has that capability). But I then thought that there may be some very talented people in this forum that may have some suggestions.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this and maybe recommend the scan settings (dpi, etc) would be gratefully accepted.
Thanking anyone in advance.

Bridge is not more then a file browser, very useful but not suitable for the task you have in mind.
You can use Photoshop for that. I would choose to use a high resolution for the scan to gain as much data as needed from the small contact sheet photo's.
For instance if you need the original to show on a website usually around 75ppi the quality is reasonable on most screens (although 96 ppi is a more common used setting)
If you scan your original with the quality set to 300 ppi this would mean resizing without recalculating the resolution (also called interpolation) each image from appr.1 x 1,5 inch to appr. 4 by 6 inch would result in a photo with 75 dpi.
If you choose 600 ppi as scan setting quality the same photo's at about 75 dpi would result in about 8 x 12 inch.
So you can do the math your self. Starting with small originals you have to use a good scanner set to a high quality to have more options for resizing and retouching.
However this can be a hard task because usually lots of dust in both film and glass from producing contact sheet is hardly visible on the sheet itself but will be magnified after resizing…
If you scan one sheet in PS or using the scan application from the scanner and open it in PS then go the menu File / Automate / Crop and straighten photo's.
This usually makes a great job of cropping the images from the sheet in separate photos, use a batch process (you can create actions your self in the action panel) to save them or to apply the filter dust and scratches (not always suitable but sometimes it can be useful, just try)
Then use Bridge to sort, rename, add metadata etc.

How to scan photos

I have a new iMac I use with an HP 6180 Photosmart All-in-One. I've downloaded the driver update and can scan to the Mac however I am looking for a way to have the scanned images go directly to a folder rather than first to an app such as Preview or iPhoto. In other words like is done in Windows. I find no setting to make that happen but have found things within the scanner set up that seem to suggest that specifying a destination non app file is possible. However when I then scan I get an error message saying saving was not possible. Any suggestions?

It sounds like I cannot save directly to a file which if true is livable although a bit slow when scanning a large number of files. I did find the view first then save procedure on my own but was hoping to skip the view (because I already viewed it in scan preview.)
I'm also a bit confused by how iPhoto works. When I "import" photos from my hard drive to iPhoto am I not just creating link between iPhoto and wherever the images are stored or am I making a duplicate in some iPhoto storage file? I assumed it was just a link and when I scanned I thought the new image would go directly to the file with all my other photos. When I saw that wasn't happening I became concerned about where they really were. I still don't know but will just get in the habit of "saving to" after each scan.

How to scan photo on hp deskjet 1055

I am trying to scan a photo into my laptop, and I have never used this feature before on my hp deskjet 1055 Printer/Scanner, there is no button to press to scan as opposed to printing . . . Am I missing something?

Sounds like you need to scan. Have you tried using the software on the computer? There should be an icon for the pritner or a folder in your start menu for accessing the software. Under Scanner Actions you should be able to use this feature.

How to scan photos in jpg in windows 8 instead of pdf

I had Windows Vista with photo gallery. Now i have Windows 8 with no photo gallery, but photos in a different format(they say photo gallery is not compatible with windows 8). I used to scan pictures and documents and they were saved in jpg. Now they are saved in pdf and cannot be saved to jpg. Also have cannon printer MG2220. I started to download something, then decided to delete it when it said it wanted to change the hard drive somehow...
Any ideas how to convert the pdfs to jpgs or to reset the thing somehow? Stuff I have read on here is for Windows 7 or XP with photo gallery (which I don't have..or at least I don't think that is the name of it..). donna

How to scan photos to computer

How do I scan photos to the computer so that they show as a photo image? When I scan a photo, the printer does not recognize the edge of the photo. Instead it scans the entire glass and shows me a photo in the corner of a large white document.

Hi,
Probably it is not smart enough therefore we have to tell it by select from a pull down windows from the menu:
