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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Scanning/Printing Documents to PDF using Image Capture

    I am trying to scan a document (8.5 x 11) using image capture and then email it so that the recipient can read and print out an identical copy.  Even though I can successfully scan the document as a PDF using Image Capture, the document visually appears MUCH larger when the recipient receives and tries to print it.  The resulting printed copy shows only a fraction of the total text, but blown up.
    I have Image Capture configured as follows:
    Scan Mode:  Flat Bed
    Document:  Text
    Bit Depth:  1
    Resolution:  300
    Source Size:  8.50 x 11.00
    Scaling:  100%
    New Size:  8.50 x 11.00 ;  
    Format:  PDF
    When I view a document scanned using the above settings in Preview, it looks fine.  The only problem is when I view it in Print Preview and/or print it.  Again, it is "blown up".  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it???  Thanks.

    Try with a resolution of 75 or 150.
    Also when printing there are options to "fit to 1 page". The recipient should do that.

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

  • 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.

  • Can I scan documents with Image Capture?

    I can no longer scan documents with my HP printer now that I have Maverick.  I can scan pics with Image Capture.  Is there any way to scan documents with image capture or with some other software? 

    Don't feel bad you are not alone.  I have a HP photosmart C4780.  Since upgrading to Mavericks it has been difficult to use the scan feature except via image scan.  I spent well over a month on the HP forums trying to discern whether or not new drivers were being developed and essentially got the run around.  Very crappy service from HP.  I'll not purchase one of their products again.  It appears that my all in one (which I brought through the Apple Store) is obsolete.  Anyone got any advice.  I'm contemplating seeing how many pieces it will shatter into upon being launched from my window.

  • 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"

  • Using Image Capture to scan with Canon Pixma MX700

    I previously had trouble connecting my Canon Pixma MX700 to my MBP, but soon figured out that I needed a new high speed USB 2.0 cable, versus the old one I was trying to use it with. Doh!
    So now it prints without any trouble at all, and I know that all its features - printing, scanning, fax, copier, are supposed to be compatible with Leopard.
    However, I'm still having issues scanning. I Googled and found a comment somewhere that with this specific model, one has to use Image Capture for the scanning portion, instead of the Canon software.
    Great, so that explained the problem I was having trying to figure out how to GET it to communicate at all with the MBP (downloaded the latest scanner driver from Canon with no result).
    But it still will not scan with Image Capture. Communication is fine- the image is detected and I can see it perfectly in the Image Capture window, am able to change options, etc. Once I drag and select the image I want to scan and click the scan button, nothing happens. Or more specifically, the button will be click-able and for about two seconds it appears to be working (with the scan button substituted by a cancel button), but then the scan button will pop back up and nothing appears in the folder I specified the image to be saved to.
    Now I'm completely stumped. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!!!

    With my MacBook running Leopard, I had been able to successfully scan multiple images by pressing the MX7000 scan button and capturing the images with MP Navigator. The MX700 is networked over WiFi. Early on, I learned that it seemed to be more reliable to drive this process using the scan button, rather than trying to initiate the scan from the MP Navigator UI.
    However, recently things stopped working, and after the first image was scanned, subsequent scans would fail, with MP Navigator complaining about not being able to connect to the scanner. This sounds similar to the problem described in the original posting.
    I went to the Canon USA support site and downloaded /installed the latest versions of the MX700 scan driver (13.9.0) and MP Navigator (1.0.4), both available under the "Drivers and Downloads" section for the MX700 support page (be sure to select "Mac OS X" from the pull-down menu).
    http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDeta ilTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=15651#DownloadDetailAct
    The new updates seem to have solved the problem, and I can now scan multiple images one after the other. Again, I always initiate the scan from the button on the MX700, and always capture using MP Navigator, which has the really nice feature for creating and editing multi-page PDFs.

  • I'm using Image Capture over one year, between my Epson XP-800 and iMac, sometimes very fast and quiet often very, very slow. I've tried to use Epson Scan 3.7.9fO but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x Why, please..

    I'm using Image Capture over one year now, using wireless between my iMac and Epson XP-800 and sometimes very fast scans and quiet often very, very slow scans. I have tried to use Epson Scan Software 3.7.9f0 but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x. There is very little other wireless traffic and I have a fast broadband connection. Thanks

    Mike,
    Thanks, but, I don't want more software as I have used both Epson and Image Capture. Is there not a solution with existing Epson and Image Capture..?

  • How do I scan a document using an epson printer onto my mac

    I can I scan a document using onto my computer using the Epson Stylus NX430 printer. 

    The printer must also have a built in scanner ...
    You can use the Image Capture app in your Applications folder for scanning.
    Connect the printer /scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
    Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
    You'll see this pop up menu:   Connecting this (device) opens:
    You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

  • Epson scan under Lion with image capture

    The first scan I made with image capture at 150dpi appeared usable.
    However the letter scanned was no longer white but slightly green and pink and the file size was at 3,8Meg!
    A pdf at 150dpi for an A4          :          3,8M
    A jpg at 150dpi for an A4          :          549Kb
    A pdf at 96dpi for an A4           :          1,5M
    A jpg at 96dpi for an A4           :          209Kb
    With the Epson Scanner Software I had good rendering and an A4 page was around 100 and 200Kb in jpg or pdf.
    What’s going on! The new software caused a 1800% increase in the file size!
    I am stuck with my scanner and papers.
    The image correction is limited.
    The pdf files created are enormous.
    There is no way we want to work and start to store this files!
    A quick solution is needed to correct the situation.

    A bit of history taken from Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29
    Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator for Mac OS X which allows many PowerPC applications to run on certain Intel-based Macintosh computers without modification. Apple released Rosetta in 2006 when it transitioned the Macintosh platform from the PowerPC to Intel processor microarchitecture. The name "Rosetta" is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which made it possible to comprehend and translate Egyptian hieroglyphs.
    Rosetta is based on QuickTransit technology.[1] It has no graphical user interface, which led Apple to describe Rosetta as "the most amazing software you'll never see."[2]
    Rosetta was initially included with Mac OS X v10.4.4 "Tiger", the version that was released with the first Intel-based Macintosh models.[3]
    Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" does not include Rosetta by default but retains an option in the installer for the user to include it. It can also be automatically installed by the system if needed at a later time.
    Mac OS X v10.7 "Lion" neither includes nor supports Rosetta at all. Therefore, with Lion, the current Macintosh platform drops support for PowerPC applications.
    " WIKIPEDIA.
    The discs  wich came with a scan are mainlly PowerPC.
    Epson no more do Scan software, driver yes to be used by Image Capture or other.
    They are all the same, want to sell hardware not software.
    For me, To stay at a reasonable file size limit, I do clear choice between what will be B&W and color.
    In Image Capture : the Black and White can be treated directly in PDF, using:
    - Image correction :
         - Contrast to full
         - Brightness one step
    With color I have quite no choice, JPEG:
    - Image correction
         - Brightness +3
    After in a viewer I do a color autolevel.
    If I want it in PDF, save in PDF and finally apply a "in house" Filter from ColorSync Utility.
    I don't use the built in "reduce file size", it's too extrem and the results are very poor.
    Regards

  • Using Image Capture with Epson NX420 in 10.5.8

    I have not gotten around to updating my computer to Snow Leopard. My computer usually have two users with fast user switch. Usually the other user tend to have Photoshop open, so I can't use Photoshop(stupid licensing issue even though it is on th SAME computer!) in my account when I need to scan something. So I use Image Capture. I just bought new printer, Epson NX420 using Wifi.
    I can't seem to get Image Capture to use the scanner wirelessly unless I use Epson's own Scan softare. I am pretty partial to the Image Capture cuz it's alot faster.
    Anyway, my point is is there a way that I can get Image Capture to work with the NX420 on 10.5.8 without spending more money?

    I was having this same problem, too. My MacBook Pro w/ Lion could no longer communicate with my Epson Stylus NX420, which seemed to happen randomly as the printer was working fine before.
    I finally searched for the solution and found it! After downloading and installing the latest drivers on my Mac, it is now able to communicate with the printer and prints just fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot use image capture

    Until today, I was able t use Image Capure fro scanning( clumcy , but worked), Now I cannot use image capture at all. Any ideas
    Turned scanner off and restarted. Image Capture working again.

    Hi ,
    I understand yu would like to know why the image capture stopped working.

  • 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.
