Image capture scan

When I try and scan a brochure it captures each image separately...not the whole page?

Note that in Image Capture the option for Auto selection is only available if "Custom Size" is checked.

Automate image capture scanning

Is there a way to assign keyboard short cuts to the 'preview' and 'scanning' buttons in the Image Capture Scanning Interface?

(I don't see a preview button- I assume you mean the "overview" button).
There is probably a way to write an applescript to do this. Or you could create a service in Automator (using the record feature), and then assign a keyboard shortcut to the automator service.
Or you can use Quickeys Startly - QuicKeys 4 for Mac OS X
I've always found automator to be somewhat unreliable for this kind of thing, but I just created the service and the keyboard shortcut in a few minutes of playing around, and it seems to work. Quickeys has been more reliable for me.

Image Capture scans the whole bed?

How can I set Image Capture to scan only the document?
It scans the whole scanning bed and is adjusting my printed page so that it shrinks the image terribly. I make doll patterns so this is important to me to scan close to the size I draw. We can do it on my husband's windows laptop *shudder* but not my brand new Apple computer.
This is the least user-friendly system I've used since I bought my first Apple computer in 1993.

Help! Image Capture scanning detected images solid black! Screen cap inside.

I know this is not a forum for Image Capture, but there is no dedicated forum for it, and I figure there are smarter people here with regards to images.
Image Capture is scanning ~some~ detected images solid black. It presents an overview scan just fine, but than the final files are black.
Here is a screen capture:

iPhoto earlier than iPhoto 9 (11) does not support Grayscale because it adds a color profile name Dot Gain 20%. This profile is not compatible with iPhoto. You can either rescan those photos as color photos or change the profile to sRGB or RGB.
I've created an Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, that will convert B/W files to a jpg file with the sRGB profile. However, is doing so it adds an additional jpeg compression level to the file resulting is a smaller file size but not a smaller image size. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
The conversion will have to be done on the photos outside of iPhoto before they are imported. So you will have to export the original files to a folder on the Desktop, run the application on them and then reimport the new files.

Image Capture scans to Pictures folder

I'm using CanoScan LiDE 200, with Image Capture, with scans going to iPhoto.
But the scans are also saved in Pictures folder.
How to stop the scans go to Pictures folder ?
Thanks!

correction to my post above:
.....the location to which IC scanning is iPhoto. That's no problem, it's checkmarked.
What happens is that both, the 'Pictures' folder small window opens when scanning, and you can see how a tiny thumbnail is being added there, and iPhoto opens.
It's not the "Pictures" folder that opens(in addition to iPhoto, which is checkmarked), but a small window that says: "Scan Results".
On the bottom a button "clear". Pressing "clear", removes the thumbnails from "scan results", but they're still in "Pictures" folder.

How to print from Image Capture Scan Overview

Image Capture 2.1.4, on Powerbook G4, with Mac OS 10.3.9, can take an Overview, low-resolution prescan from my scanner. I could then choose to print the prescanned image.
This allowed for a fairly convenient copy facility, but with preview before printing.
No image save was necessary or desired.
With Image Capture 4.0, on Macbook Pro, with Mac OS 10.5.5, print of the prescanned image includes the entire Image Capture panel (Scan mode, bit depth, resolution, format, etc.)
Why do I want to print all that?
Is there a way with Leopard to set Image Capture to print just the scanner image without the panel and without image save?
Thanks,
Wrekngcrew

I wish I had an answer...I'd like to know how to just print something from Image Capture instead of generating a file, then having to print it from Preview....

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

Scanjet G4050- How to scan multiple slides at one time with Image Capture

Using Scanjet G4050 with Mac and OS 10.6. Thus using Image Capture to control scanner. When using the slide template for 16 slides, Image Capture only allows me to select one slide at a time.
Is there a way to fill the template with 16 slides and have Image Capture scan all 16 slides without having to select each one in turn? It is a real pain to have to direct each scan.

Hi jpbear
I am going to take credit for finding the solution that the HP Photo Suite from OSX 5 works in subsequent Mac OSX. Look at this web page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4019&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3236...
If this doesn't work for you, I am willing to guide you to finding the page. I downloaded a copy a few minutes ago and it was still available. The Photo Suite is actually an amazing set of applications but the one you want to use with your HP ScanJet G4050 is HP Scan Pro. I continue to use it with OSX 9 but other people have reported that it continues to work with OSX 10 as well. It allows me to scan the 16 slides on the bed individually with one pass. It also has some colour balancing function.

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.

Color misregistration scanning with image capture under Leopard 10.5.2

The scanner is an older Epson Perfection 1250 Photo. Under Tiger, Image Capture scans perfectly. Under Leopard (Image Capture 4.0), the RGB channels in the image appear to be misregistered. I downloaded the Leopard compatible TWAIN driver from Epson, and the scan looks OK when using the Epson Scan app. The reason I would like to use Image Capture is that it offers PNG as a format for saving, while the Epson Scan app does not (TIFF is significantly bigger). Anybody noticed this issue?

Move the com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist file out of your home /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop and try again. If that works, delete the moved file, and reset IC's preferences. If not, create a new admin user account, log in, and see if the problem persists. Report back.

Image capture, can't scan

I have an epson 2480 scanner that worked with image capture in tiger. After upgrading to Leopard, it seems that I can no longer scan. Image Capture speaks to the scanner (the scanner will scan a preview when I launch image capture), but the scan button is greyed out.
This ***** because I would use image capture to share the scanner with other users in my group. Now, the only way to scan is to sit at the computer that is hooked up to the scanner and scan there using the epson scan software.
If anyone has any ideas as to how to re-enable image capture scanning, I would love to hear it.
On another note, image capture does not work on any local account on the machine, whether admin or standard.
Thanks for any advice...

As far as sharing the scanner using image capture, browse to the scanner (devices > browse devices), then click on the sharing button on the bottom left of the window...You can share the device from there, and add a password if necessary...
Cool when it works!
However, you cannot have more than 1 computer at a time using the scanner, so if another person has image capture open (but isn't using the scanner), you need to make them quit....
Still, this works pretty well (well, at least it did work pretty well
BTW-I thought I had installed the latest driver, but I will try again and see.....

Why doesn't Image Capture work with document feeders?

I've tried to scan a bunch of different types of documents using Image Capture and my Samsung CLX-3175FW's document feeder (multifunction color laser printer) but every time what gets scanned is a thin vertical slice of each page - completely useless. I don't see any way to force Image Capture to scan at 8.5" x 11" rather than doing whatever it's doing resulting in a thin vertical slice.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Quick update... I've done some troubleshooting and confirmed that when Image Capture scanning via USB and using the document feeder, everything looks great. When the ONLY option I change is printing via wireless, I get the thin vertical slice of each page. I sent some screenshots to Samsung to see if they have any ideas.

How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed. Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed. I use the feeder to scan multiple pages.
My question is this: Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

Not a direct answer.
From Image Capture Help:
Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
Scan an image
Scan an image with Image Capture
Scan an image with Preview
Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

Image Capture won't capture (Canon 9950F)

I have recently bought a Canon 9950F for a specific project. It replaced an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo which worked perfectly but was limited in the size (area) of its film scanning capabilities. I have used a range of software including VueScan and Silverfast v6.6 but the most direct scanning tool I have used is Image Capture. The feature that I really like with Image Capture is the ability to select multiple scan areas in the 'preview' and have Image Capture scan them as a batch. The project I am working on (family archive photos, documents and film negs of various formats) really makes the most of this feature.
I have moved over to the Canon 9950F and immediately noticed that Image Capture does not see the film scanning feature of the 9950F. It scans documents exactly as the Epson 2450 did but does not offer the option of scanning film or transparency, only documents on the flatbed. I have updated the Canon Drivers and the scanner is visible under System Prefs > Printers. VueScan and SilverFast recognise the scanner (but neither have the selectable scanning feature that Image Capture offers) and Photoshop Elements 10 also sees the scanner under File > Import.
Has anyone experienced this problem and, if so, is there a 'work around'.
Many thanks.
iMac 24", Intel Core 2 Duo, 3Gb RAM, OS10.6.8,

Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

Preview and image capture don't save imported scanned image

Hi. Both preview and image capture aquire the scanner and displays the image overview. But when proceeding
to scan, the application simply hangs and no image is saved.
Maybe some prefs file is corrupted. Tried removing the com.apple.Preview from ~/Library/Containers, but didn't help....
What to do???

Not sure if this is relevant:
1) TWAIN-BRIDGE is installed otherwise mavericks won't talk to the scanner.
2) recently added an HP printer (no scanner). Shouldn't conflict with the scanner driver, but then again.....
