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.

Olympus C-3020 Zoom. Compatible with Image Capture's Take Picture Feature?

Hey, Camera Owners.
For anyone who has a C-3020Z, is it compatible with Images Capture's Take Picture function? And also, I believe that the C-3000Z and C-3020Z are basically the same camera. Am I correct?
Thanks,
Max

See this page for a comparison of the two cameras.

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.

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 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.

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.

Image capture import to dated folder

Is it possible to use the auto-import feature of Image Capture to create a created date folder to import the images into?
Thanks in advance for responses!
John

For other reasons I've turned off the auto rotate in my camera and rotate them before importing into iPhoto. A slick tool for that is PhotoToolCM, a contextual menu plugin that can do lossless rotations and EXIF data edits, capture dates, etc.
I'm not a professional but I've done a number of edits on a jpg which caused it to be slightly re-compressed each time and I've not seen any problems. Admittedly my largest prints have been 5x7 but it's not something I really worry about. Pros usually shoot RAW so they wouldn't be affected by jpg re-compression.
I am surprised at the amount of reduction you're getting. I've seen some modest size reductions due to editing but none as large as you've reported. I'm not getting any with my Canon. What camera are you using and what's the sensor size, i.e. MP? Do you find a difference is size between the landscape and portrait files?
If you're importing directly from the camera try using Image Capture on a bunch of test shots, both landscape and portrait, and upload to a folder on the desktop first. Then import that folder into iPhoto. You can then compare the size in the folder to the resulting sizes in the Original folder, unless you've already done it that way.

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....

Image Capture problem(blank picture)

hi, I am new to JMF and I have refer and read some of the tutorial of JMF. then I try with the image capture program but unlucky it's not success. I was able to success to compile the program and get an empty picture.The picture is blank when use.
here is my code so I hope i can get some advice on it. thank you
public class imageCapture extends Panel implements ActionListener{
public static Player player = null;
public CaptureDeviceInfo di = null;
public MediaLocator ml = null;
static Buffer buf = null;
static Image img = null;
public VideoFormat vf = null;
static BufferToImage btoi = null;
public imageCapture()
String str1 = "vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0";
di = CaptureDeviceManager.getDevice(str1);
ml = di.getLocator();
try
player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ml);
player.start();
Component comp;
if ((comp = player.getVisualComponent()) != null)
add(comp);
catch (Exception e)
public static void main(String[] args)
imageCapture imgc = new imageCapture();
// Grab a frame
FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
buf = fgc.grabFrame();
// Convert it to an image
btoi = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat)buf.getFormat());
img = btoi.createImage(buf);
// save image
saveJPG(img,"c:\\pic123.jpg");
player.close();
public static void saveJPG(Image img, String s)
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(500, 400 , BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = bi.createGraphics();
g2.drawImage(img, null, null);
FileOutputStream out = null;
try
out = new FileOutputStream(s);
catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException io)
System.out.println("File Not Found");
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(bi);
param.setQuality(0.5f,false);
encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param);
try
encoder.encode(bi);
out.close();
catch (java.io.IOException io)
System.out.println("IOException");
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}

Could be any number of things... most likely, it's just trying to capture an image before the webcam is setup and running.
Try putting in a wait statement (thread.currentthread.sleep) after you start the player to make it wait for, say, 5 seconds...see if that changes the output.

Image capture and finder pictures question

I have downloaded pics to the pictures folder in finder. I would now like to organize them into differant groups or folders. I am new to Mac and really am confused by iPhoto. Can I accomplish what I want within finder pictures folder?

Yes, you can do it in Finder.
I dislike iPhoto myself...
GraphicConverter has a powerful Browse Folder function, & many tools for manipulation, & you can keep your Pics wherever you want...

Image Capture and Preview "folder not writable" error importing to shared folder

I'm running 10.8.5 on a Late 2012 model Mac Mini. I'm trying to create a folder under my home directory where my wife can import pictures using Image Capture or Preview while logged into her account. I've tried setting permissions on the folder by setting POSIX permissions and ACLs from the command line, and also by setting ACLs using Get Info in Finder, but it seems as though both Image Capture and Preview ignore the ACLs and instead rely solely on the POSIX permissions for everyone/other (even when a relevant group is set). Unless the POSIX permissions for everyone/other are "rwx" Image Capture and Preview both give an error that the import failed, and /var/log/system.log shows errors that the "folder is not writable". I'd like to be able to set this up without making the folder and the files in it writable by everyone. My understanding was that ACLs should take precedence over POSIX permissions, but even the POSIX permissions don't seem to be getting handled properly, because the group is ignored. Any help or explanation of what's happening would be appreciated.
Here's an example with details:
Suppose we have the users alice and bob. We want to set permissions on the directory /Users/bob/importdir such that Alice can import files from a camera there using Image Capture (or Preview, either would do), but don't want to relax the permissions more than necessary.
We create a group named bob_and_alice
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob:
POSIX: rwxr-xr-x, owner=bob, group=staff (i.e. default POSIX permissions)
ACLs:
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:bob_and_alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
2: user:alice allow list,search,readattr,readextattr,readsecurity
"Get Info" shows "Read & Write" for bob and "Read Only" for alice, bob_and_alice, staff, and everyone
We set the following permissions on /Users/bob/importdir:
POSIX: rwxrwxr-x owner=bob, group=bob_and_alice
ACLS: (these are already probably more permissive than should be necessary)
0: group:bob_and_alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: user:alice allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,re adextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
"Get Info" shows "Custom" for both alice and bob_and_alice, "Read & Write" for bob, and "Read Only" for everyone
Alice opens a Terminal and cd's to /Users/bob/importdir. Alice can create and delete files in this directory.
Now Alice opens Image Capture and with our camera connected we try to import a photo to /Users/bob/importdir. Image Capture shows an error dialog with the text "Import error. An error occurred while importing. The item 'foo.jpg' was not imported." /var/log/system.log shows the message: "Jul 20 22:12:34 computer_name.local Image Capture[32804]: Document destination folder is not writable" If instead Alice uses Preview it shows an error dialog with the text "The selected folder is not writable" and /var/log/system.log shows two error messages:
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Document destination folder is not writable
Jul 20 22:23:45 computer_name.local Preview[33280]: Encountered error during image import: Error Domain=com.apple.ImageCaptureCore Code=-9934 "The selected folder is not writable" UserInfo=0x7ffda4881f00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The selected folder is not writable}
Now we change the POSIX permissions on /Users/bob/importdir to: rwxrwxrwx
The import succeeds with both Image Capture and Preview
Can anyone explain what's going on here? Is there another reasonable way to do this without, moving this shared directory to /Users/shared?

Did you figure out how to fix this?

I have images in aperture and in my picture folder that I want to burn to DVD. I need them to be viewable on pc and possibly via a DVD player. My first attempt proved to work only mac. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me with burning DVD with images in Aperture and picture folder. I need the to be viewable on pc and DVD player if possible.
My first attempt only works on mac.

Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

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.

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.
