Mac Photoshop cs2 twain plugin/drivers

This is driving me freaking nuts.  I recently did an HDD swap for a client on a dead drive for an intel based iMac (which is always fun tearing apart).
Anywho, I replaced the exact version of photoshop on his machine, 9.0 (cs2), and his OS is 10.6.8 (snow leopard).
He's used to be able to take his scanner (epson perfection 610) and directly import a scan into photoshop by opening photo cs2, selecting file, then import, then it would give his scanner model in the list (I'm assuming using the twain driver).  Now, we haven't changed any software, or any versions, same OS version, same scanner, same photoshop version.
We installed CS2, then loaded the most up to date drivers for the scanner (twain driver included in the pack), but whenever we boot up cs2, import does not contain any scanner/twain options.
Where to go from here??

Tying up Photoshop to scan is the height of inefficiency.  But if the man insists, please do a forum search on the keywords TWAIN scan vuescan.  This issue has been discussed ad nauseam here.

  • Unresolved Photoshop CS2 Twain Issue

    Hi,
    I have an the issue with Adobe Photoshop CS2, when loading it crashes while building twain menu, if I remove the Twain Plugin from the plugins folder in Photoshop then Photoshop launches but this does not solve my problem as i can't scan from Photoshop now. I have read and attempted what is explained on this forum http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7018724#7018724 but it does not solve my problem. I have uninstalled all Cannon software and all Photoshop related files from my mac and reinstalled with the latest drivers but still no luck. the Strange thing is that it was working fine a couple of days ago, nothing changed, it just randomly stopped working.
    Can anyone please help me with this issue?? I have a cannon Perfection 3490Photo scanner. thanks

    Hi, Reading your discussion I think it might relate to de issue I'm experiencing. (sorry for my language, I'm Dutch)
    A week ago Adobe PhotoShop Elements 3.0 worked fine. Then HP ?helped? me installing my C5280 all-in-one printer, problems with creating PDF-Files. They advised me to delete de contents of the "Cashes-folder", as well a lot of files in de "Preferences", all to do with HP or Print.
    Now, when I try to start PSE-3.0, I get this massage "The programm PhotoShop Elemenents is unexpected stopped" choose [Quit], [Report] or [Open again].
    I have run the installation again, not working. I thrown the folder in the trash, emptied the trash and installed again, same result, not working. Downloaded trail-version PSE-6.0, same result, also not working.
    Help from Apple and Adobe, same as mentioned, they blame each-other. so no help.
    I'm nearly at the point of total re-install from OS X 10.4.4 but you have to know, " I love the MAC but I'm a knit-with for IT technology.
    So, I hope somebody can help me, has a good idea before I throw myself in the unknown world of re-installation.
    A little background; after 1000 crashes with my windows computer I have thrown it out and bought myself an Apple. Up to now, very satisfied!!! This is the first real problem, I hope I will not be disappointed so I can tell my "Windows-friends", Apple is still the best.

  • Photoshop CS5 & TWAIN Plugin

    Hi.
    In CS4 there was a Scanner Plugin to scan pictures directly in Photoshop (Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export > TWAIN.plugin). With Photoshop CS5 is no longer possible. If a scan interface in Photoshop no longer applies?
    Mactheny.
    Edit: My scanner EPSON Perfection V750 Pro works fine with MacOSX.

    You do need to make sure you have the correct TWAIN plugin for Photoshop CS5. The CS4 TWAIN plugin is not compatible with Photoshop CS5, and vice versa.
    If you are still not seeing any TWAIN scanners listed in the Photoshop File > Import menu, check to make sure you have TWAIN data sources installed properly on your Mac. Open the folder /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources. You should see files in there corresponding to your scanner(s), for example a file named EPSON Perfection 4990.ds for that make and model of scanner. Your scanner software installer should put them there by default.
    As always, check your scanner manufacturer's web site for the latest software.

  • Photoshop CS5 TWAIN plugin not working in 32-bit mode

    I'm having trouble scanning via TWAIN in Photoshop CS5. I'm on an iMac running OSX 10.6.6, My Scanner is an Epson Perfection V350, and after installing the latest driver and an online chat with an Epson rep, they told me to download the latest Photoshop TWAIN plugin from the Adobe site, then run Photoshop in 32-bit mode.
    I tried that and the option to scan finally appeared in the import menu and the Epson Scan interface appeared. However, upon trying to preview or scan, the whole lot crashes.
    The Epson Scan program works as a standalone app, so the problem clearly lies within Photoshop. However I want to scan in Photoshop, not the clunky standalone app!
    Is there anything else to try?

    I would say it's more likely that there is a problem with CS5 and/or the new TWAIN plugin.
    Epson claim that since their application works standalone, than it's not at fault.
    Photoshop CS4 worked fine - I could scan via TWAIN perfectly. I've since removed the CS4 apps. And of course CS5 no longer supports it in the same way. Following Adobe's OWN recommendations of installing the TWAIN plug-in and running PS in 32-bit only led to complete software crashes.
    Of course I can scan in Epson Scan on it's own, but after 15 years of happily scanning via TWAIN in Photoshop, I don't see why I should change my way of working to something that would be less convenient.
    On another post I read something about having the correct TWAIN plugin - I could only find one for CS5 on the downloads page, so I assume I got the right one.

  • Photoshop CS6 Twain PlugIn

    Hallo! Photoshop CS6 am iMac erkennt leider meinen CanoScan 8800F nicht. Ich habe bereits das PlugIn für  Twain installiert, auch habe ich alle aktuellen Treiber installiert.
    An was könnte dieses Problem liegen? BG Josef

    It can be set to the German language:

  • Cannot scan using CS5, Optional TWAIN plugin does nothing

    I'm trying to figure out how to scan using CS5 (Master Collection, 32-bit for 32-bit Windows Vista). I found references to an optional plugin pack for Photosop, which supposedly has a TWAIN plugin that works for 32-bit Windows Vista. So, I downloaded it. But, it seems like such a hack pack. There nothing to launch (run) for an automatic install. There's just a duplicate set of bewildering instructions for "installing" each plugin.
    The instructions included in the plugin pack has a section that says "TWAIN (Mac only)" and only lists instructions for a Mac. Near the top of the document is the entire list of plugins. A footnote below the list indicates that the plugins intended only for the Mac are marked with an asterisk. The TWAIN plugin is in the list, but not marked. The online documentation confirms that the TWAIN plugin in this pack works for 32-bit Windows. But, it does not reveal how to install or use it.
    Before you ask, yes, I downloaded the right version. Thinking the two version might have been switched, I also downloaded the Mac version. But, I couldn't even open it.
    Anyway, I found multiple blogs instructing to add the Twain_32.8BA file to the folder "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export", launch Photoshop, then select File and Import. I'm not sure what was supposed to show up there, but nothing was added.
    I know the scanner works, the scanner driver works, and the TWAIN driver works, since I can still use them with the much cheaper Serif software.
    Any ideas?

    I finally resolved most of the issue. Long story short, the scanner wasn't connected. What an idiot! The long story appears below if you are interested.
    I still cannot scan from the scanner. But, I'm confident it's not a Photoshop or TWAIN plugin issue. The only remaining issue with an Adobe product is the very sketchy instructions (or lack thereof) and "install" procedures involved with Adobe's "hack-pack".
    Thanks to all who took time to respond.
    The Long Story
    After posting my question, I continued double-checking everything, including the Serif software, which now could not find the scanner.
    The problem originated when I borrowed the USB cable from the scanner (a Lexmark X6100 series all-in-one). When I returned the cable to an impossible to see set of connections on the rear, it fit perfectly in the phone line-out jack.
    Oblivious to the cable problem, I attempted to uninstall the Lexmark driver software. This caused a nightmare of registry changes, security issues, and reboots. The driver software had been tweaked to work with Windows Vista. But, nobody thought to update the uninstaller. In the midst of the computer problems, my telephone service goes out. Go figure.
    I eventually stumbled upon a resolve to the telephone issue by disconnecting the phone system from the Lexmark. At this point I begin to get a little suspicious of the Lexmark being a cause for both problems. I checked the phone cable to the Lexmark. But, it seems fine. I reconnect it on both ends. Still, it causes a telephone issue. At a loss for that problem and having a temporary resolve for now, I continue working on the driver issue.
    With the Lexmark software finally removed from my computer, I begin installing a slightly updated version, praying I don't have to ever uninstall it. But, it won't install, reporting the Lexmark has to be on and connected. Rechecking the USB connection, I can feel that the USB cable is a little loose. Then, it dawns on me that it could be plugged into the phone line-out. Feeling around for another jack, I find one, plug in the USB, get a much more appropriate fit, and voila!. The new device driver installs.
    I launch the Serif software. And, now it's able to find the Lexmark. I launch Photoshop, select File and Import, and there appears a new item, "Lexmark X6100 series ...". Now, if I could only get it to actually work.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Error messages after update to mac os 10.4.6

    After updated to mac os 10.4.6 everytime I use Photoshop CS2 I receive an error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    I did all the workarounds that were described in document 331627 from Adobe's website and nothing worked.
    I also subscribe to maxosx.com support and someone suggested removing the legal.localized/Tien...file from the photoshop cs2/legal directory, but everytime I tried to select the directory "legal" from within the finder view, it disappeared and closed the finder window.
    HELP!

    Did you upgrade from a previous version of OS X like 10.3.x or 10.2.x or from a prior version of 10.4.x? If the former, there are probably some files in your previous system folder that need to be restored.
    Otherwise, double click Photoshop when it's closed, and then IMMEDIATELY hold Command + Option + Shift. You'll get a box for resetting the settings. Select Yes and maybe that will help.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 crashes under Mac OS 10.411

    Hy,
    I have a Big Problem with Adobe Photoshop CS 2 under Mac Os 10.4.11.
    When i click the Photoshop CS2 Icon then Adobe Photoshop crashes.
    I delete all file in Preferences and Library and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS2 - its the same Problem.
    I don´t can Use Adobe Photoshop CS2.
    Note: Indesign CS2 has no Problems - its running well.
    Who can Help me????

    I'm having the EXACT same problem. I don't know what to do as I use this in my business daily. None of my other programs....GoLive, Illustraor, InDesign are all fine. Surely we can't be the only 2 people that this has happened too.
    THEN tried calling Adobe... worthless. They only help if someone upgrades to cs4 or 5. That means spending MORE money to upgrade your version of the computer this all after spendin $250 on their Creative Suites package. Bunch of BULL CRAP.

  • Photoshop CS2 coercion error on Intel mac

    I am testing on 2 machines, one intel, one ppc (g5). On the intel machine I can't get this code to run. It keeps erroring saying it doesn't understand percent and pixels?
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
    set kScaleFactor to 75 as percent
    set kResolution to 120 as pixels
    set kResponse to resize image kDocRef width kScaleFactor height kScaleFactor resolution kResolution resample method bicubic
    end tell
    Any ideas? I think I had a problem similar years back, but I don't recall the fix.

    I get a similar error message whenever I start up any program with a GUI, using either Java 1.4.2 or 1.5 JVM on any Mac (G5, 12" Powerbook, G4 power mac) running Tiger. I cannot remember when the messages started or what they mean. However, regardless of the error, the programs run fine for the most part. So it is not specific to the MBP (or Intel-based) Mac. I just bought an MBP today and have just started getting it configured.
    p.s. I have had one problem with Java programs on OS/X since upgrading to Tiger last year. I never experienced this problem on OS/X before Tiger and it has never been a problem on Linux. Seemingly randomly,when I am running a program for many hours, the JVM dies with only O/S type messages. Sometimes the messages is "bus error", most of the time the errors in the log file are obscure references to the underlying JVM code (i.e. Objective C???). This happens both with commercial Java programs and ones I write myself. For example, if I am processing thousands of files for import into a relational database, the program will fail over and over again, but at a different point in the data and a different point in the processing of that data. The only common pattern is that the problem occurs after many hours (many of my programs run for 12-40 hours). My solution thus far has been to develop on OS/X but do long runs on Linux. I've tried reporting it as a bug to Apple - but it's difficult to send a large body of code and a large relational database to Apple, particularly when, in any case, the problem will be hard to replicate. The one common thread is that all the Java programs that die in this way are using JDBC. Something changed with Tiger.

  • Photoshop CS2 in Mac Snow Leopard: faint, pale colours when printed

    I used to use Photoshop CS on my old PPC eMac with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger), and printed succesfully on good quality glossy photo paper using an Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer. I have now upgraded to an Intel Mac mini with OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). I am afraid I cannot afford to buy the latest version of Photoshop, so I have installed Parallels Desktop and, within it, Snow Leopard Server, so that I can run Photoshop CS2.
    I have now got the correct driver for my printer and all the printer and paper profiles. Using exactly the same profile and other settings that I used to use with Photoshop CS on my old computer, when I printed a TIFF image, the results were a print with extremely pale, washed-out colours. When I used the 'Preview' feature of the printer software, the colours looked good, but when I printed they were hopeless.
    I don't think it is the printer. If I set the Photoshop output to let the printer determine colours, I get quite good results. But when I switch to letting Photoshop determine colours, I get these impossibly pale colours. I have checked through all the preference settings of Photoshop CS2 and cannot find anything that might account for this misbehaviour. I should be most grateful for any help or advice.

    Since posting the above, I have made a discovery. I looked up the system requirements of different versions of Photoshop. Here is the relevant part of Adobe's list:
    This suggests that CS2 will not run in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)! But it also suggests that CS will not run in Tiger (10.4), and I used CS succesfully for years in Tiger on my old PPC computer. So what does all this mean? Are these minimum requirements? In that case where can I find the upper limits? Is CS2 supposed to run properly in Snow Leopard?

  • Wanting Photoshop CS2 or 3 for Mac can no longer trade my version thru Adobe

    I currently have Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows, but I just recently got a iMac that I want to use Photoshop on. I called Adobe and they can no longer send me a Mac version in place of my windows since it is an older version. They said check on here and hopefully someone would be kind enough to upload to me or send me the Mac version.
    Here is the system info on my iMac OS X....
    iMac 5,1
    Intel Core 2 duo
    2 GHz processor speed
    memory 1GB , 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I would love any help I can get. I have a lots of photos I want to photoshop on my new (to me) Mac and I can't !! Thank you in advance for any help :)
    Thank you

    You miss understood they meant perhaps you could find someone here who had an extra license they would be willing to sell you, even if they did not use those exact words.
    If your iMac supports CS4 it would cost you the same thing more then likely.
    BTW legal or illegal if you used someone else's cross grade install it would be a waste of time as your windows serial number will not work on the Mac version. The $20 fee for the cross grade is for the Mac serial number which you can only get from Adobe but they do not sell it anymore.
    Illegal or not it would not work, the support meant perhaps you could buy a Mac license for CS2 or 3 if someone wanted to part with their license for some reason.
    Do yourself a favor upgrade to CS 4 if your iMac supports it and if not upgrade your iMac as well. You will be much happier, much more productive and it will prove more profitable.

    That is correct Das_Sad.  CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS.  You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.
