HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

How long is a string?
The answer depends on a large number of variables
Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
size - many meanings
DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

  • Can't delete photos using Image Capture

    I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to 5s....all of a sudden I can't delete photos using Image Capture like I used to.  The "delete" menu item is grayed out.  The "delete after import" checkbox in the lower right is available, but I don't need to download all of these photos videos.  I poked around in the iPhone settings but didn't see anything which seems to control this.

    Hey guys, I had the same problem on iOS 8.0.2, I couldn't delete any pictures from my Mac neither in Image Capture nor in iPhoto. I've just figured out how to resolve this. You have to disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) under Settings > Photos & Camera. Since it seems to be an iOS 8 related issue, I'm not sure if I am referring to the same problem as in the original post but I thought I'll let you know anyway.

  • I scanned a document using Image Capture

    I scanned a document using Image Capture & I need to save it to email it to someone but can't find how to do it.

    At the bottom left of the Image Capture window is a drop down menu called Scan To which will let you choose where your scan will be sent. Create a folder on your desktop named Scans and send your scans to it. Then rename the scan to whatever will help you remember what it is.
    Then when in Mail you can click on Attach and find the Scans folder and attach your scan.

  • Downloading Photos using Image Capture

    ive never used iphoto, always preferring image capture. image capture doesn't see the phone's connected anymore but it used to. and i think i used to see the phone mount on the desktop as a connected device but dont see that anymore, either (maybe it never did?)
    the phone is recognized in itunes but i dont quite see how to download my phone photos there as it says 'sync' and i dont want to do that. i just want to download the images to my computer so i dont lose them should something happen to the phone. Any ideas? i would like to continue using image capture, if at all possible anymore.
    Many thanks in advance for your assistance. -josh

    I see my iPhone in "My Computer" connected as a camera, and it lets me only access the photos I took with it, saved from a message or when I do screenshots. I'm glad it's there, otherwise there would be no way of take your photos from your iPhone.
    If you have photos in the Camera Roll but still don't see it in "My Computer" maybe you disconnected the iPhone too brutally last time. I know one time I accidently connecteddisconnectedconnected etc a few times very fast the usb cable and then the iPhone wouldn't be recognized on the PC either with iTunes or in the "My Computer". Which scared me lol. But then I tried connecting it to another usb port on the PC and it's working now. Try that. Other than that I can't really see how to fix it . Maybe a PC formating or a iPhone restore but I doubt you want to do that.

  • Can't import photos using image capture or iphoto

    When I plug in the iphone to my mac, I cannot get the photos off the phone. I did it once before, while leaving the original photos on the phone, but now I photo says there was an error importing 38 items, which happen to be the 38 photos I've taken since my initial import. Image capture "imports" them onto my desktop, but the files are unreadable?
    Is this something with the phone or the computer, or simply a software issue.
    Please help....
    Gavin

    i deleted HD cache and user cache as well as image capture prefs and IC performed better right away but then had same issue where iphone stops importing photos. pretty crappy...it seems image capture has never worked right (not in 10.3, not in 10.4, and still not in 10.5, don't remember if 10.2 or 10.1 had image capture) atleast before it would import the photos; progress indicator would get stuck but upon opening user picture folder, photos imported fine. We might be SOL, thanks Steve's Dev Team!

  • I have a Lexmark Prevail Pro 705 printer connected to my network wirelessly. I can no longer scan from it using Image Capture. I can print to it. I can scan from it using a Windows machine. Most updated firmware. Driver v 11.0 Any ideas?

    I have a Lexmark Prevail Pro 705. Latest (as of july 30, 2012) firmware. Mac driver v 11.0
    I can no longer communicate wirelessly with the scan feature of the printer. I can print no problem using a wireless connection. Using a window's machine I can scan wirelessly from the printer. It seems that my iMac (OSX 10.8, 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24inch early 2009) is not connecting to it. I can put a USB cord into the computer and scan.
    Any ideas? This came up starting 2 weeks ago. I had hoped the operating system upgrade would solve it. It has not. I see nothing on the Lexmark boards about this. Since the printer works fine in both print an scan mode using a windows machine and can print fine from a Mac but not scan I don't have any ideas but I suspect it is the Mac.  

    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3.

  • Can I use Image Capture to take a picture using a Canon EOS 10D?

    Normally I use a card reader to download digital photos, but today I hooked my camera directly to my iMac. I then noticed the "Take Picture" button, so I tried to use it to take a picture with my Canon EOS 10D. Image Capture didn't refuse, it just showed the 'cogwheel' animated cursor and got stuck. What does this mean - is it that this particular camera won't work or that there is something wrong with the setup? I have other digital cameras, but I don't want to work all this out by experiment alone - how can I find out more about how this feature of IC works and what exactly is going on when I press "Take Picture"? There is absolutely no technical info in the Help files.

    The Help on Image Capture has the following:
    Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
    To take a picture:
    Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
    Click Download Some.
    Click Take Picture.
    The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
    If you don’t see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the Take Picture icon to the toolbar.
    If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera doesn’t support this feature.
    As the option is available to you, your camera supports +Tethered Shooting+. If it’s not working check your camera’s manual to see do you need this enabled on your camera.

  • Transferring Videos/Pictures Using Image Capture

    I'm using Image Capture to transfer my iphone pics and vids to my desktop. Recently, the transfer has corrupted the files and caused some sort of flickering in the videos and a similar effect on the pics. I no longer have the originals. Is there a way to correct these files? I've attached some samples.

    Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.
    Once it's pluggeg, go in Applications> Image Capture.
    From there, you will either be able to download all the picture from the D50, or take new shots.
    You can even share the camera (and it's pictures) online, so someone can even take picture with it (through a webpage). You could even try this yourself, play around in Image Capture and with it's share features, and somewhere it will give you the adress (internal ip adress) so suposely someone from your network (including your own computer) could go, check, and take pictures.
    I've tried the web interface from my computer, but couldn't make it work with another one from my LAN. Have to work around this.
    But in Image Capture, first make sure the D50 is selected (Devices>[pick it]) and then there is what you are looking for in the upper bar of the window.
    Have fun!

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

  • Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
    Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago.  (I am so old,  I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
    1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
    2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
    3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
    4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
    5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
    6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
    7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
    8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key.  Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants. 
    9. (Optional)  You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word  Lock:  in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
    10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
    11.  Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.  

  • I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

    again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
    the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
    And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
    I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

  • IMac applications see my iPhone 5s but cannot display the photos.  Last week I was using Image Capture with no problem.

    I have an iMac 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5s. I recently downloaded 110 photos and 10 very short videos using Image Capture v.6.2.  I plugged the phone into the iMac, all of the photos appeared in Image Capture, I selected all and sent them along to a folder on an external hd. 
    However, this week, attempting the same procedure, I get nothing.  Image Capture sees my phone but does not display any photos, just a big blank window.  Same response from iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom; they all recognize the phone but none of the photos appear.  Insight would be appreciated!  Thanks.

    Hello WellShoot,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your Camera Roll using Image Capture.  You have taken some really good steps already to troubleshoot this issue.  The article below has a few additional troubleshooting steps you can take:

  • Why is the scan size of our epson 15Mb for PDF using image capture?

    Hi All-
    This has been plaguing us since Snow Leopard when we lost the Epson Scanner tool from Epson to Image Capture scanning using our Epson 835 Artisan.
    PDF sizes are ridiculous using Image Capture. 
    For example, 3 pages of text using Image Capture =
         15Mb
    Using the same printer, same 3 pages and the builtin Epson Scanner (from the printer panel) and a USB stick =
         1.2Mb
    This has been happening since the SL upgrade (as mentioned) but I had hoped that Epson/Apple could get their act together on the Epson drivers for ML.  Seems not to be the case.  It is kind of a drag to have a Network available Scanner only to have the built in software be a bum steer.  Not only that, but no relief from Epson since their Scanner program (as bad as it was UI wise, but at least you got a mail-able document) has been discontinued...
    Any ideas?
    jp

    This doesn't answer the question but it is a workaround.
    How is the quality if you do this:
    Open the PDF in Apple Preview
    Choose File/Export
    In Export, choose PDF format with the Quartz Filter option "Reduce File Size"
    If it's ugly, there's a way to adjust the compression settings by using Apple ColorSync Utility to make a modified copy of the Reduce File Size filter with different settings. By playing with this I was able to start with a 7.1MB PDF scan from Image Capture, and export variations based on different Reduce File Size settings:
    5.3MB (JPEG Max) - looks great
    188KB (JPEG Min) - looks good as the 5.3 MB copy actually
    40K (Automatic) - too blurry to be usable
    If you were to perfect your own compression filter you could just export each PDF through Preview after scanning it, or presumably you could build some kind of drag-and-drop conversion utility in Automator although I don't know anything about Automator.
    It's a workaround because I could not determine a way to apply a Quartz filter from Image Capture itself when saving a PDF.

  • How do scan strip negatives via my Epson 4990 scanner using Image Capture since upgrade to OS X Mavericks

    Hello Everyone. OK I upgraded to OS X Mavericks without thinking that by doing this would stop me using my Epson 4990 scanner as no driver / software currently available - OK my fault. Anyway as Epson have not yet provided an update (yet?), all advice being recieved is use "Image Capture" for the time being. I have tried this along with using the "Help" files but unfortunately dont seem to be be any assistance. In simples terms I just wish to scan film negative strips (and transparencies) but it dont seem to be possible. Could any member advised how to get solve this problem as I am in the middle of a major scanning exercise with the worst case senario that I wil have to revert to my Windows based laptop to carry on and temporary reduntant my iMac which defeats the point of the exercise. Thank you in advance (hopefully) 

    Replay I received from Epson today:-
    "In response to your email, we unfortunately do not have any update available for your model at present. We have no confirmed date for this but as far as we are aware this is likely to be in the next two weeks"
