Importing scanned images from Canon MP560

First let me say, that I am technically challenged. I have a Canon MP560 printer. When I scan a photo, it goes to my PC in MP Navigator. The only way I can get it to iPhoto, is to drag it to documents, then drag it to iPhoto. There must be an easier way. Also, is there a way to scan & import multiple photos at once? I'm sure there are easy answers/solutions to my problem, but like I said, I'm not very tech savvy. I'd appreciated any suggestions. Thanks.

unfortunately these are totally a function of your scanner and the software you are using to scan - your best bet is the scanner manual.
Since you are scanning to a PC it is unlikely that any here in a Mac forum will have much information
Is your scanner a network scanner or is it just directly connected to your PC?
Can you connect it to your Mac? If so see if you can use the scan function in Preview to san
As to multiple photos - not easily - you can scan multiple photos as an image and then once that image is in iPhoto duplicate it once for each photo in it and crop out all but one photo in each copy so you end up with the photos individually in iPhoto

  • Import raw images from canon eos 1000d to aperture 3

    Raw images from Canon EOS 1000D appear garbled tried using  all (?) import methods without success. Camera on firmware version 1.0.7
    HELP!
    Geoff

    Running Aperture Trial 3.1.2  all updates completed.
    May have solved one problem & got another!
    I can now import RAW images by selecting 'Raw' rather than 'Raw + L' on camera menu.This leaves me with all large files - potential future storage problem.  Looking into this.
    Thanks for reply though

  • Importing RAW images from Canon 450D SLR

    I run iPhoto 6 and I have recently updated my digital SLR from a Canon 300D to a 450D. I was able to import CRW Raw files from the 300D but iPhoto will not import Raw images from the 450D (jpegs are ok), which are now coded CR2 instead of CRW. I note that there is a Raw image software update, available but this is only for iPhoto 8. Short of updating to iPhoto 8 is there another solution?

    I was afraid that might be the answer, but many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Regards

  • Importing RAW images from Canon EOS 550D

    I've used iPhoto 8 (version 7.1.5) with a Canon Powershot. Everything working fine.
    I just bought a Canon EOS 550D. Importing JPEG files is OK; But iPhoto refuses to import the RAW images from the 550D.
    How can I solve this problem ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera is new and not supported as yet by either Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475?viewlocale=en_US
    or Snow Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
    Evidently the camera is so new that even the Adobe Camera RAW converter doesn't support it yet - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    You'll have to use another application that does recognize that format or shoot the highest quailty JPEG the camera provides until support is offered.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Importing RAW images from Canon preserves settings.

    I'm somewhat confused with what I'm reading with respect to RAW being 'unaltered'.
    When I shoot RAW on my 5D, the camera settings (picture style - colour, contrast, sharpness etc.) are all seemingly retained when I import the images into Aperture. In fact, if I export versions immediately following a RAW import the differences in picture style are also retained in the subsequent jpeg.
    The exception is shooting in monochrome.
    My understanding is that RAW is an unaltered format. If that's the case, then why do I see 3 different images in Aperture if I use 3 different camera picture styles for an identical subject when shooting RAW ?
    It may be that all of the original information is still there, but the images do not appear 'unaltered'.
    Paul

    The raw you record on your memory card is the raw data from the sensor, but still with the attributes you have chosen. So the images sharpness, aperture and white balance etc are all controlled by you in many ways. Its a conscious choice on Aperture etc, but if playing with styles this is another method of offloading certain aspects to the camera. As you select different styles, within the camera it applies different settings eg. sharpness. This is no different to you changing aperture's between 'identical' shots. Its just another setting.
    At the end of you choices and you depress the shutter button, all your choices and camera settings are applied to the image data and you get the raw file. Including your Aperture and picture styles.
    When the raw is considered unaltered, it means the image from the sensor is not compressed in a lossy way like jpg. ie. the raw file is much bigger and contains data that you can push/pull to recover highlights/shadows.
    I don't have a 5D, but the picture styles are just another set of choices you make like shutter speed etc.

  • Importing RAW images from Canon S50 doesn't work

    I took some pictures with my Canon Powershot S50 in RAW mode but iPhoto '08 won't read them. Apple lists this camera as having a readable RAW format. What could be the problem?

  • I need to import raw images from canon Mark iii

  • Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Ferdinand12345,
    Cannon 7D mark II has been included in the ACR 8.7. I would advise you to wait for the 8.7 camera raw to release.
    In the meanwhile you can go to labs.adobe.com and download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and then try to import.
    Thanks

  • Lightroom 5 will not import selected images from my SD

  • Problem with the RAW images from Canon 5d Mark III

    hope you are doing good. i need your opinion regarding a phenomena i am observing in the RAW images from Mark iii.
    The following images appear to be absolutely correct in the camera and when viewed through a picture viewer.
    I have tried and tested the following scenarios:
    1. Used a medium speed kingston CF Card (new) and transferred the images through the USB cable supplied with the camera.
    2. Thought the card might be slow OR faulty.. used Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro SD Cards but same result.
    3. Transferred SD Card data through the builit in laptop card reader.
    4. Have directly imported the images from SD Card into Lightroom 4.3, copied the data firstly to laptop HDD and then imported, copied the SD card data to an external HDD and then copied. .... same result!!
    5. Have tried the same with both Win7 and Mac OS.
    6. The DPP sw that came with the camera gives the error of 'Decoding Failed' with these images.
    Usually 10-15 images out of 100 give this kinda pattern. so i was hoping if you can guide me what is going wrong here !!!

    The camera and PictureViewer are likely showing you the embedded JPG, while DPP and LR are decoding the raw data which appears to be corrupted.  Assuming you have formatted your SD cards in the camera and the issues are always in the same positions in the same images when you transfer them multiple times from the card to different computers via different methods, then the data is on the card that way.
    If the embedded JPG is ok then the sensor is ok, so something between the sensor-readout and the storage on the card appears to be failing intermittently, and it’s time to talk to Canon, I think.

  • How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

    I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

    Greg Parks L.A. wrote:
    For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
    You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

  • How do I import RAW images from Sony NEX 5-R to iPhoto?

    I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2 and have installed Digital Camera RAW compatability update 4.01 but still can't import RAW images from my new Sony NEX 5-R digital camera.. any ideas? I also have Photoshop CS6 - should I import through that if iPhoto isn't a feasible option..?

    This is the list of currently supported cameras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
    Note: The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

  • Importing garden pictures from Canon 350d, too much blue

    Hi,
    I'm importing RAW images from my Canon 350d. The motives are pictures from the garden in summer with lots of green. When Aperture does its color correction the pictures look too blue. The fresh green is gone.
    Are any others also seeing this behavior? What are you doing against it?
    I usually correct the color temperature. But why does Aperture produce such a (IMHO) bad color quality?
    Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

    No idea - but you can always save to the desktop in any program (Navigator in this case) making sure that the photos have the sRGB color profile and then importing into iPhoto from the desktop - in general since iPhoto imports photos they must be saved someplace - and the desktop is a good temp place
