Microsoft problem in image aquisition from Epson scanner

I cannot get my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo to scan even using its own Epson Scan program. I always used Photoshop 7 to scan and import the images easily. Then we moved to a new house, and when I went to reconnect everything, Microsoft doesn't recognize the Epson scanner no matter what I do. Epson technicians were not able to help. I believe that it's a Microsoft acquisition problem. It says "Could not open the TWAIN source". Should I just remove everything that has to do with Epson, even the plug-in in Photoshop, then recalibrate my monitor and reload Epson after that? --thank you, L Williamson

Re-installing is the first step, make sure after the un-install that you remove any vestiges of the install left over. Disconnect the scanner while doing this. After you are finished, shut off the computer, re-connect and start the scanner, start the computer again and let Windows find it and then install the latest software for the scanner.

Problems with Image Capture for Epson Scanner

When using image capture for my Epson scanner, at the Image Correction, when I select Manual I get no menu options.

There is no Epson scanner utility for Mountain Lion, it appears. Even Epson's FAQ defers to Image Capture and says it only provides software for image modification.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&info Type=FAQ&oid=207953&foid=214278&cat=214269&subcat=214264
Unfortunately Image Capture completely fails to provide the service it should be expected to. The 3rd party software VueScan seems like it would be adequate once I learned how to manipulate it a little more, but ultimately the only decision I can justify is to hook up the scanner to my Windows PC and use the TWAIN-based scan utility there.
If there's anywhere I can make an official plea to Apple to get Image Capture in a workable state, feel free to point the way.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Problem Populating Image Item From Database

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i & Forms 6i on Windows platform & working in client/server model. I created a form in which, I am reading an image file from the file system & then saving it into the database. In the Databse, i created the column as BLOB. But, when I query, this does not retrive the saved image in Image Item. But image is actually saved. When I tried, changing the database column to LONG RAW, it is working. I mean its reading the image in the image item from the database.
Can anyone pls tell me, is there any problem like this, as we can retrive from LONG RAW but not from BLOB, or I am missin something here.
Regards

Hi,
I use Forms 6i to save and retrieve image in BLOB column without problems.
Some weeks ago, my column was long raw and I update it without problems. Nothing to do in Forms and juste modifiy query and recompile in Reports.

Problem with image returned from getGeneratedMapImage method

I'm a newbie as far as map viewer and Java 2D goes....
My problem is the java.awt.Image returned from the getGeneratedMapImage method of the MapViewer API. The image format is set to FORMAT_RAW_COMPRESSED. The image returned is of poor quality with colors not being correct and lines missing. I'm painting the Image returned from this method onto my own custom JComponent by overriding the paint() method...
public void paint( Graphics g )
Image image = map.getGeneratedMapImage();
if ( image != null )
g.drawImage( image, getLocation().x, getLocation().y, Color.white, this );
If I take the xml request sent to the application server and paste it into a "sample map request" on the map admin website (along with changing format to PNG_STREAM) my image renders exactly how I expect it to.
Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get the java.awt.Image with format set to FORMAT_RAW_COMPRESSED to render correctly. I was hoping to get back a BufferedImage or a RenderedImage from the getGeneratedMapImage call but I'm getting back a "sun.awt.motif.X11Image".
Will downloading the JAI (java advanced imaging) from sun help me at all?

Joao,
Turns out it is related to colors. I'm dynamically adding themes, linear features and line styles. I ran a test where I changed the color being specified in the line style from magenta (ff00ff) to black. When I changed the color the linear feature would show up. It was being rendered as white on a white background when I was specifying it to be magenta. I'm specifying another linear feature to be green and it is showing up in the java image as yellow. This doesn't happen when I take the generated XML from the request and display it as a PNG_STREAM.
Any clue what is going on there?

Photoshop Elements 8 import from Epson Scanner?

How can I get Photoshop Elements 8 to import from my Epson scanner? On my previous computer, the scanner just showed up when I selected "Import" under File? I've spent 2.0 hours with the supposed "tech support" in India and they had no idea. I've been using Elements 4 on my iMac for years and it worked perfectly. Help!
I'm starting to learn that I just spent good money for Elements 8 for nothing. It would appear that Epson has refused to make a TWAIN plugin for Photoshop Elements 8 so it will talk to the scanner and the program seems to be filled with bugs wshen used with Snow Leopard. Anyone have any answers?

There is a Photoshop Elements forum.

Image Capture for Epson Scanner producing very dark results

I recently upgraded to a new iMac running Mountain Lion. I have a new Epson Perfection v750 Pro scanner, which I use to scan film negatives. I had previously been working with this scanner on a Windows 7 PC. Using Image Capture, I am getting wildly different results -- the resulting scan is completely dark. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere?
I've attached a little preview picture that shows the difference between a scan of the same image, with my PC vs my Mac.

There is no Epson scanner utility for Mountain Lion, it appears. Even Epson's FAQ defers to Image Capture and says it only provides software for image modification.

Having problem with images imported from photoshop

I am totally new to Fireworks, I am redoing a site that was done using CS2, that is GoLive, Photoshop and Image Ready. I wanted to begin familiarizing myself with Fireworks by starting with using it to make all the web images for the site (jpgs, pngs, etc). It started well but after a while I started getting strange results from FW when I imported PSD files. The PSD imports fine into FW but when I want to "preview" or do a "2-UP" and see what it looks like as a jpg or png I just get a blank image where the jpg or png is supposed to be. However if I "export" the jpg it does get exported, but I would like to preview it to see what the quality is. This doesn't happen every time but at least 50% of the time in the last 2 days, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind why it works with some images but not others.
Another thing is that if I add a layer effect to the image such as "inner glow" to the PS image, and then flatten the image to make sure it gets exported to FW, it doesn't get exported. It is as if I never added the layer effect in PS.
Any help on these two issues would be greatly appreciated and help me to continue in perservering with FW.
VL Branko

I don't think I've cracked open Bridge since upgrading to CS5/CS6, and I'm hesitant to start today! I'm therefore kind of assuming that you're starting with PSDs and opening them up in Fireworks. (If you're not doing this, give it a try.)
Regarding the 50% failure of Preview and 2-Up modes, I was thinking that saving the PSDs as native Fireworks PNGs—within Fireworks—might eliminate that problem. It's hard to imagine Fireworks not previewing its own file format, but easier to imagine it failing to properly preview a PSD file. And again, perhaps File > Image Preview might work better for you.
As far as the "inner glow" issue: 1) Be sure to add it into the PSD before importing into Fireworks, and 2) If it doesn't show up, have a look at Filters within the Properties panel for the selected object; you could try selecting Inner Glow within ‘Photoshop Live Effects’ or try out Fireworks' own native Inner Glow filter effect.
Other than for the purpose of familiarizing yourself with Fireworks, you may want to consider why you'd use Fireworks for these graphics, if they were originally created in Photoshop. Small changes in graphic appearance are always possible when moving between applications. For example, Photoshop is color managed whereas Fireworks is not; you therefore might notice a small shift in saturation or tonality between the two applications. Whether this is a concern depends on your final output goals.

Problem loading image icons from jar

I have created an Applet , that works as an application too.I created the certificate the jar, with the images and the classes, i signed it... The html page is working fine as the exe i have made from the jar, but ONLY if the folder with the images is in the same directory!!!I have searched in java and other forums for an answer that fits but..
Here is a sample of my code.
images[0]=new ImageIcon((Applet15.class.getResource("/palaio/Image8.jpg")));
images[1]=new ImageIcon((Applet15.class.getResource("/palaio/Image22.jpg")));

public Applet15() {
      private void jbInit() throws Exception {
public String getAppletInfo() {
    return "Applet Information";
public String[][] getParameterInfo() {
    return null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Applet15 applet = new Applet15();

    frame.setLocation((d.width - frame.getSize().width) / 2, (d.height - frame.getSize().height) / 2);
    frame.setVisible(true);Thank you!!

Problem with images disappearing from project

I have inserted a number of images into my Robohelp 9 project topics using the Insert >> Image function. Typically the images were stored on my hard drive on my pc, but some I pulled from a shared network drive that were prepared by other people. They seemed to load into the project OK. I had them grouped in a about 5 different robohelp folders to keep them organized so after I would insert, complete my topic and save. I would move the images to their respective folder. This was fine for a while, I had no problems generating printed .pdf documentation, making changes to my topics, etc. But now the images keep disappearing from the Robohelp folder structure and the printed documentation. I can see the images when I open up and view the topics. I can also see them when I look out onto the drive on the computer. However, they do not show up in the Robohelp Project Manager and are not included in my printed output. I keep re-inserting them, but they continue to disappear.

Hi there
Certainly it won't hurt anything to add the images to baggage files, but I'd be shocked to find that solves the problem.
If an image has been used in RoboHelp, it should be present in the project. End of story. The fact they seem to be disappearing seems to suggest that maybe something has gone awry with folder naming or image naming or the project in general.
So what version and flavor of RoboHelp are you using?
RoboHelp 10, RoboHelp 9, RoboHelp 8, etc.
RoboHelp HTML, RoboHelp for Word
Cheers... Rick

Problems with image conversion from InDesign to PDF

My images look posterized when I convert from InDesign to PDF. Any ideas about this?

That'd be in the export settings not in Reader. Ask in the InDesign forum, they'll probably know better.

Problems with image disk from Idvd

Hi everyone, I've burned some Idvd projects, and before throwing those projects to the trash, i've saved them as an image disk.
Today, when I burn image disk, it burns, but when I play it on a dvd deck the movie doesn't exist.
When I check on my Imac, it shows me the dvd with a file burned on it, but doesn't play like a dvd.
What's going on ?
Thanx for answering
Steve

OK OK I've forgotten to use the "search" option.
I think I've found the answer, I HAVE TO USE DISK UTILITY to burn an image disk, and not :
Open the new dvd
drag and drop the image disk to burn
and click the "burn" button on the top right of the window.
Grrrrr
Here is a post with the answer.

When I try to load an image from the scanner, or from a file, into a bank deposit script, I get a message - "Error Java heap space". Need help to diagnose and fix this problem.

I am running a script from my banking facility which asks me to load an image of the front and back of the check. I never had a problem before, but this time when I try to load the images either directly from the scanner, or from previously saved jpg files I get an error window message that says - Error Java heap space,

Weird Epson scanner problem

I have an Epson Perfection 610 scanner. I've downloaded the driver from Epson's website, and everything behaves perfectly. The little preview image of the document to be scanned looks great, but when I do the actual scan, the saved image is a garbled mess of diagonal lines. It's the same, whether I save a JPEG or a TIFF, and whether I do it through Preview or through the Epson application.
Any idea what is causing this? Thanks!

Further issues with the wonderful Mac OS X Snow Leopard. After many years of Microsoft, I am conversant with hardware, software issues.
I have my first Mac, iMac 27" (very pretty, but has various bizarre, problems, in my opinion).
When I first plugged my Epson Perfection V350 scanner in, it worked perfectly. All apps were able to see it and use it. Now, I suspect after a number of automatic updates, none of my apps can access the scanner - all report no scanner found.
The most up to date Epson drivers are installed - Epson scan works fine. I now have to scan, save an then import the file into my apps. Pretty poor.
Epson have no answers to this, nor do Apple.
For the world's most advanced operating system, I am amazed at how 'clunky' it appears to be.
I have tried uninstalling the software and scanner a couple of times - no effect whatsoever.
If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.
Cheers!
Mike
