Limited image import from scanner

I find only limited image import options under Photoshop CS5 and CS6. Under CS3, I have a number of options which I have used frequently, regarding preview, zoom, desceening, filtering, stretch, noise removal, fading, grain, etc. None of these seem to be available under either CS5 OR CS6. In fact, under CS5, under "FILE>IMPORT", I I don't even GET the Canoscan 8400F opton. This is pretty basic stuff, getting good quality off a scanner. What's up? Do I need to go back to CS3 for everything? It actually worked.

Hi there, I'm sorry you aren't able to scan.
What operating system are you using? There are known issues with scanning while running Mountain Lion, in particular. If this is the case, Adobe engineer reccommends trying Image Capture:
Image Capture is a utility program in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder, and is a standard part of Mac OS X. As far as I know, Image Capture does work properly in Mountain Lion.
ImageKit refers to the underlying Cocoa frameworks (programming interfaces) used by Image Capture as well as by Photoshop and other applications to perform scanning. For reasons I won't go into here, these are not working correctly in Photoshop, but are in Image Capture, which is the problem we're working to resolve with Apple.
The scanners that work with Image Capture/ImageKit are also a standard part of Mac OS X, which means that users do not have to go to a different web site (e.g. Epson's web site) to download and install drivers for their specific scanner, which you do have to do with TWAIN. Scanner support (numbering in the hundreds) through Image Capture/ImageKit is already included in Mac OS X "out of the box".
We added support for ImageKit scanning to Photoshop CS6 because we recognized it was unlikely that scanner manufacturers would go back and rewrite their TWAIN drivers to work in 64-bit mode (especially older scanners that are no longer manufactured).
One advantage is that as improvements are made to ImageKit and as more scanners are added by Apple to their Mac OS X releases over time, Photoshop users get those "for free", so to speak. Unfortunately, changes to ImageKit made for Mountain Lion have had the effect of breaking this feature in Photoshop, but we are confident this will get sorted out.
Here is an article talking about known issues with scanning in CS6, and some workarounds. It suggests downloading a TWAIN driver (more information here) or using your scanner's scan utility (although this might not be the optimal solution for you, considering you came to the forum).
I hope this information helps!

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.

Import from scanner?

How can I import from scanner on Photoshop Element 10. Bought online from App store.

Ugh. Okay, you need to right-click the editor itself (control click if you have your mouse set up for one button), then Show Package Contents>Contents, go to Optional Plug-ins>ImportModules and move TWAIN.plugin from there to the regular Plugins folder>ImportModules.
You will see a message that the folder can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your OS X password when asked, and then you can move the plugin.
You have to install TWAIN before you can scan, and you may need to restart your computer after moving it.

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Is this the senario that you are talking about?

PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

Final Update: ...god willing...
OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

Importing from scanner in Elements 11

I've just upgraded from Elements 4 to 11 using Mac OS 10.6
Previously, when I wanted to import an image from my Canon 8600F Scanner I went to File,Import,Canoscan 8600 and the Twain driver window appeared. No problem.
Now with 11 this doesn't happen. It doesn't happen with either Editor or Organizer. A search on these pages shows a similar problem with Elements 10. I've carried out this procedure but it doesn't work. Why not? What is the point of this programme if it won't import from a scanner or am I missing something?
Not impressed with the Adobe website at all. Why is it so difficult to access the company for guidance? This could be my last Adobe product.

This document includes information about where to find and how to install the TWAIN component that was previously installed with your application for versions earlier than Photoshop Elements 9.
Important: Do not move plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop Elements into the Photoshop Elements 11 > Plug-Ins folder, or set the Photoshop Elements 8 (or earlier) > Plug-In folder as the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in Preferences.
Note:
If your version of Photoshop Elements is 9 or 10, refer to the KB article TWAIN is not installed with Photoshop Elements versions 9 and 10.
To the top
Macintosh
If you would like to have TWAIN support on your Macintosh system, then we strongly recommend that you access your device through Rosetta (PPC) OS. Otherwise, we suggest that you scan your image in first and then separately open the image in Photoshop Elements.
To install the legacy TWAIN plug-in for Macintosh, copy the ImportModules folder from:
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Optional Plug-Ins
into
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins

Import from scanner give error message "This file already exists in this catalogue"

I can import from the scanner occasionally, but often times get this error message. " this file already exists in this catalogue" and the scanned picture is discarded.
I see others have had it as well, but no solutions were posted. I'm running Photoshop elements 11 with all current updates.

Thanks for the reply. My Image wasn't in a version set however. I scanned a new photo which was successsful. I then scanned a second photo different from the first, which failed. I think possibly the software for my HP scanner is at fault, since it always names the scans as image1.jpg. It doesn't give an option to increment successive scans to a different name which probably caused the problem.

Images imported from library are empty

Sorry, I did post this query a few days ago, and I did get a
response but unfortunately it did not help.
When I import my images to the library, I can see them fine
in the viewer window. However, when I drag the images to the stage
I get just an empty frame. I do not know what the problem is. I
have tried importing the same images into a stage on an older
version of Flash and there is no problem. I see the images fine.
So, what can be the problem with Flash CS3.
I was advised by this forum to check to make sure the
"outlines" option was turned off on that layer. I tried this, but I
had no luck. Interestingly though if I work in Flash 8 on the same
computer and then import the Flash 8 files to CS3 I can then see
images I import from the library, even after I have converted the
Flash 8 files to CS3 format. At the moment it is the only way I can
work with CS3. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
Thanking you all,
Mary

Hi
There are several layers to this.
a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
• Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
• Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
c. I build my SlideShow in
• iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
• FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
(from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
• iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R
• set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
• Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

Hi
I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
I then import this into Aperture.
But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
Now, a bit more detail.
The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

Hi JNorris--
Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
See if that makes a difference to start.

Problem importing from scanner into Photoshop Elements

I use Photoshop Elements 5 on a PC & am suddenly no loger able to import from my scanner (Canon MP990) & get the message: 'Could not complete the import because of a problem with the acquisition interface'.
If I try scanning directly from the scanner, I get the message: 'Scanner is not available while in use by another application or user' . I may have abandoned a previous scan at preview stage without cancelling, but it doesn't show up anywhere. I don't know whether this is a Photoshop problem or a scanner problem. My troubleshooting skills are rudimentary at best - I have tried disconnecting/connecting the scanner & shutting down the PC - any ideas ?

First of all, are you sure that you want to abandon iphoto for the organizer? You don't want to use both--you will have to choose eventually. If you don't have experience with Organizer on a mac, I would strongly suggest exporting a few photos from iphoto, putting them where you want to keep them and using File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to create a test catalog to use for evaluation while you make up your mind.

Trying to import from scanner, but only get the wizard and I need the advanced screen....

Hi,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (I was using Elements 6 before).
I am trying to import a photo from my scanner, but am having some trouble. I need to import from the "advanced" screen I was using before, but now I am only getting the option to import through the wizard.
In Elements 10, when I click import I only have the option to "Frame From Video", or "WIA Support". When I pick the WIA Support, it takes me to the wizard.
In Elements 6, when I click import my scanner was actually listed and that is where I went to the advanced preview/scan screen somehow related to my scanner (it said Epson Scan at the top of the window).
How do I get my scanner to be listed in the import menu so that I can get to the Epson preview/scan window?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

Oh, I spoke too soon. I just found out that I had to move the twain file from the optional plug in folder to the regular plug in folder. Everything is working great now.

Phshp CS4 keeps crashing when I try to import from scanner

Can anyone please help me?
I'm running Photoshop CS4 on a Mac Pro Desktop with Snow Leopard. I have a Canon Canoscan Lide 600F scanner. Every time I try to import from my scanner into photoshop, CS4 keeps crashing.
Do I need to delete Photoshop CS4 Preferences? If so where is the file located in Preferences, I can't find it anywhere.
Photoshop CS4 crashes every time I select "Import...Canoscane Lide 600F"
Thanks in advance,
- Nick

has scanning ever worked?
most of us here scan using the stand alone software or 3rd party software. The reason the TWAIN.plugin was not installed by default is that many of the scanner manufacturers have not followed Adobes specs and conflict with the TWAIN.plugin.
Also its seems a bit silly to tie up a $1000 application as a scanner UI for $150 scanner. You do realize Photoshop has no scanning ability of its own and relies on the scanner plugin to access the stand alone software that came with the scanner.
If you scan as a stand alone you can still work in Photoshop.
