Image Capture in Lion fails to invert orientation of image from scanner

I have been using Image Capture for scanning documents for awhile, and I often feed the documents in from the bottom. Feeding this way requires that I select an option that inverts the final image. Since upgrading to Lion, the inversion option fails. I have a duplex scanner, and the image inversion option only fails on the odd pages, not the even (duplex) pages scanned. When I do not have the duplex option selected, the inversion fails on all pages.
This seems like a quick bug fix for Apple.

I have a solution. Its a workaround but it works pretty well. I made an Automator script that will combine PDFs in that are a folder. It will sort the individual PDF pages by creation date in descending order so that the result is in the order that was scanned.
Scan the documents through your scanner's feeder and select "Duplex" if you have it. But do not select "Combine into single document." Put all the scanned PDFs in a new folder. Once all the scanning is done, run the app and it will ask you for the folder. Simply select the folder and a newly combined PDF will appear on your Desktop.
Download the automator script from my dropbox link. The zip file contains both the app and the automator file in case you want to tinker with it. Cheers.

Hi, I have faced a similar problem and solved it using the morena api http://www.gnome.eu/Twain/examples/studio.html
Problem is the scanner works fine with TWAIN, but with SANE, it is totally failing. There is a permanent connection refusal form the scanner ip whenever
i try to use a network scanner. I am not sure how to solve it. If anyone has solved this please revert back.

Import Image from scanner to database Direct ..

can any Colleagues help me ..
how can i Import Image From Scanner directly
if anyone can descuss code and how can i do that
thank for all Colleagues .......

You cannot.. unless you are prepared to get your hands dirty writing code to integrate a scanner API into Oracle.
Oracle has a feature called extproc. This allows you to define external "procedures" - these procedures are for example shared object libraries (Linux/Unix) or dynamic link libraries (Windows). A scanner API will be typically implemented by its driver as a shared object/DLL. Which means it is callable from within PL/SQL.
It may however not be usable - extproc does not support callbacks, does not own a window or process handle, and so on.
In which case you may need to wrap the DLL into a custom DLL that implements callbacks. perhaps create a hidden window if a window handle is needed, and so on.
In other words, this is not a trivial thing. You need to know more than just a bit about o/s side (systems) programming.
You should also ask yourself why you want to do this. Architecturally wiring a scanner into Oracle via PL/SQL and an extproc interface make absolutely no sense at all.
Especially since operator input/control is required to physically manage device... That is on the very opposite side of the Oracle server spectrum. That is clearly a client function to interact with such a device and not a server function.

Need to read image from scanner

Hi,
I wnat to load image from scanner directly into forms. Then save it into table.
Shahin

Here we are..
This is my "bean" for scanning over twain driver or SANE (linux)..
I have used morena twain drivers (JNI), apache httpclient library for java (i need it for http communication between forms and database) and Itex pdf library for java.
The bean has three options..
1. you can select the twain device and start to scan
2. you can view scanned images
3. you can generate PDF from scanned images and store it to local disk or database..
For example how the form look like:
!http://freeweb.siol.net/peterv6i/scan1.jpg!
On the first form you can start a new scann or just delete the temporary files in the local folder (user temporary folder).
After you press the "scann" button the twain dialog apear
!http://freeweb.siol.net/peterv6i/scan2.jpg!
The dialog of twain device will startup. Here you can set everythig you can (scann area, colors, dpi ...)
!http://freeweb.siol.net/peterv6i/scan3.jpg!
The scanned images are transfered on local disk (temp folder). Every scanned images got timestamp value as name of the image (on the picture this are located in the select list)
!http://freeweb.siol.net/peterv6i/scan4.jpg!
If you click on the item the scanned image will aper on the screen
!http://freeweb.siol.net/peterv6i/scan5.jpg!
The last screen is for saving / generate a pdf from the array of images or image.

PSE10- Possible to multi-crop images from scanner?

I'm taking the task of digitizing hundreds of old photos. Currently, using my flatbed scanner, I scan 4 pics at a time. Then I use PSE10 Editor's tool of "Divide Scanned Photo" to split the pictures into 4 different files. However, sometimes this tools doesn't recognize all 4 pics correctly and I have to crop manually. This can be tedious to crop, save, open the old file again, crop, save....and do this 4 times. Is there a way to select multiple crop images from a file and export each to a new file?
Any advice is appreciated on my tedious task.

Thanks Barbara. I have a really old flatbed HP scanner and am using regular Windows fax & scan to capture the images. It's my understanding that newer HP scanners come with this type of software. Didn't really want to invest in a new scanner. I've tried a few trials of scanning software, but found PSE10 actually does a better job than them in it's dividing scanner pics. I'll just deal with the ones that it can't handle manually. Maybe we'll see a feature where we can crop and export multiple parts of a file in a future release.

PS CS6 trial crashes after importing huge image from scanner

Hi.
Here is my hardware:
   Macbook pro 4 GB DDR3 core i5 with plenty of HD space
   Epson V700 scanner (6400 dpi scanning capability)
My Software:
   Adobe CS6 trial
What I want to do:
   Scan a typical photo that is 6 by 6 inches at 6400 dpi as a bitmap, for utmost quality
What I tried:
   File -> Import -> Images from device -> then selected my scanner, set it to scan at 6400 dpi and save as a bitmap
My problem:
    When the scanner head is done scanning and the progress bar for scanning the image completes and moves to the next step (presumably writing the image to the file), PS crashes and gives me an error log. It is far too detailed for me. I have no problem scanning images at lower resolutions like 1200 dpi. But this scanner is capable of 6400 dpi and I want to take full advantage of it. I cannot use the scanner software that came with teh scanner because tech support told me the scanner software has a 1.something GB file limit size. They told me 3rd party software like PS should be able to scan unlimited file sizes.
   I suspect the file size migh be too large (16 GB)
My question:
   Is this a bug in the trial or something? Should PS be able to scan a 6 by 6 inch photo at 6400 dpi and save it as a bitmap?
Any 1st thoughts? I imagine it would be useful to upload the error log. I can do that if it is ok to do so
Thanks, your help is appreciated since I would lik eto scan this image at 6400 dpi. If I am given a solution, I will probably buy the full version

That's a bigger image than photoshop elements can handle (the pixel dimensions are roughly 38,400 x 38,400)
I suspect the problem in cs6 is more due to lack of ram on your machine (compared to the file size), but you should really ask about cs6 on the photoshop forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general
Also unless the photo is a slide or negative, you probably don't need to scan at max resolution.
Anyway for elements you'd need to reduce either the dpi or specify a smaller size than 6 x 6.
And then probaly scan (save) to your hard drive instead of scanning from within elements to a file format such as tif with compression if the scanner offers that option.
It depends on what your scanning, but for example i usually scan 35 mm slides at 4800 dpi (different scanner) at there default size (24mm x 36mm) and the file size is usually in the 200 to 300 mb range.

Importing image from scanner

How can I import an image from my scanner (Epson Artisan 837) directly into Photoshop 5? When I go to import, there is ONLY the message: "Video Frames to Layers"...whatever that means. I don't know how I can now use Photoshop to open my scanner and import images like I could with an older version of Photoshop.

Before anyone can help you, they will need what OS you are using and the version of the OS as the scanner driver differs for each OS and version.

Importing Images from Scanner

For 15 years I have used Adobe Elements as my photo-editing software. I import images from my scanner, camera, etc. My computer hard drive crashed last week. I have a new hard drive and had to reload all my programs. Now when I'm in Adobe PE 10 and say I want to import an image from my scanner or camera, it won't see them. Might be a twain issue -- but I can find NO help on the Adobe sight. My Brother MFC can print and scan (so the problem is not with them). I can pull photos from my camera "the long way." I just can't get Adobe to see my scanner or camera. HELP! Who can I call (for free) or where can I go for live chat? I'd like to get this solved NOW!

Hope that this helps. Let us know if this is correct.

Please help, i need to scan an image directly to the form image item
if there is another way somebody heeeelp

here's a snippet of code
-- create your type in Oracle via sqlplus
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE STRING_ARRAY AS VARRAY(999) OF VARCHAR2(128);
// in your java code
String[] arParam = { "FOO", "BAR" };
oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor arDesc = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor(
"<yourSchemaOwnerGoesHere>" + "." + "STRING_ARRAY",
<yourConnectionObject> );
ARRAY oracleArray = new ARRAY(arDesc, <yourConnectionObject>, arParam );
<yourPreparedOrCallableStatement>.setARRAY(1, oracleArray);
or use registerOut if you want to get a return value

Issues saving images from Scanner since upgrading to Maverick.

Hi,
I'm having issues with my HP Scanjet 4070 photosmart scanner saving images since upgrading to the Maverick operating system. If it allows me to save, the image comes out as blocks or lines of color. Other times I get the message "An error occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only."
Prior to the upgrade, I was not having any issues. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm having exactly the same trouble. Has anyone found a fix? The scanner scans and pops up the image in the scanning software, but will only save stripes. The error I get is: "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only." Preview only shows the stripes, too. I haven't tried printing, but even if the image prints out, that wouldn't solve anything. I already have the hard copy! I can't seem to find any help on HP's site either.

Aperture 2 not importing .nef images from scanner... works in LR2 though.

Hi,
I have been looking at Aperture 2 and Lightroom 2 recently to see which one I'd like to use long term. I generally feel more comfortable with Aperture and it's controls (the sliding scale controls vs increase/decrease buttons) and Aperture's auto grouping of master and adjusted virtual copies but while Lightroom imports the range of image types I have, Aperture refuses to display the .nef images I have from negative scans. I can see the thumbnail but the preview is the "Unsupported Image Format" box. I have Camera RAW 5.2 installed on the computer and Photoshop CS3, which also can't open my .nef files.
As background, I have a Powermac G5 dual 2.5GHz with 3.5GB ram running OSX (10.5.6). I'm scanning from a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED using Nikon Scan 4 at full resolution (4000dpi) to 14 bit .nef format raw files (~130MB/image). The Aperture version is 2.1.2
I can't figure out weather it's something with Aperture or something with my system, considering lack of PS support (even after swapping in the latest Camera Raw plugin into the System Library).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'd like to be able to get this sorted before I have to make a definitive choice.
Thanks

@MacDLS-
It was really either 16-bit Nef or Tiff and it was a legacy decision that I've just lived with. I get that there are differences between a Camera Nef and a Scanner Nef as the camera imprints metadata in there that is irrelevant in the case of the scans and that the Scanner is recording R, G and B data for each pixel but whatever. I gathered that if I used Tiff, my saves would be permanent, similar to jpeg, whereas Nef is Raw-like in the sense that I can reverse adjustments to the master, which is more appealing than duplicating every Tiff for a mater copy and an adjustment copy (+ other adjustment copies). But I could easily be misguided, I'm no pro.
Another consideration was that many of these scans are unlikely to see future rescans, so it's not like I am of the mindset that I will just be rescanning stuff with the next super-scanner of the future down the line. These are the archival digital negatives as far as I'm concerned.
As far as being only useful in Nikon software, they do work fine in Lightroom 2 and...
I realized CameraRaw version 5.XX is CS4 specific and was the limiting factor for Photoshop. I reverted to the CameraRaw 4.6 plugin and everything was gravy as far as Photoshop... still no luck with Aperture 2 though.
So Nikon Scanned Nef files, go for Adobe software, no go for Aperture... unless I'm 'doing it wrong' ???

How do i place a jpg image from scanner into InDesign without it getting pixelated?

Hello,
I am currently working on my internship portfolio. So far so good but in the end on one of the last pages I wanted to attach the recommendations I got from teachers. 2 of them I received in .pdf and simply imported they look like from the pdf. The other 2 I received from teachers by e-mail 1 of them scanned in jpg. and another one scanned in pdf. I tried everything and still cant understand why the 2 scanned images become so pixelated once I export the entire file
PS: there are way more complicated pictures and architectural drawings which look great... the only problem are the scanned fil
Thank you in Advance for your help

Hey
Thank you for the respond 1st of all. Thats the problem Im not having the paper filer or the originals.... Teachers wrote the recommendations, than print them, sign the paper files and scan them. Then sent them to me. Thats all I got. The thing is that the files are relatively Ok, imported in ID they also look ok... then when I want to export to interractive pdf the entire ID file they lool like sh*t
