New to Aperture - Can I scan directly into it?

Hi, everyone: I hope you can help me - I still do traditional black & white film photography and am going to get a Nikon Cool Scan V to scan in my negatives. I just purchased Aperture and am eager to use it, but don't see anything in the manual about scanning directly into the program (like I used to do with photoshop). Can someone please tell me if this is possible?
Otherwise, I guess the scanner will come with software and I'll just scan to that and tranfer to Aperture? Seems like a pain!!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A related thought - if you don't want to use ImageCapture, you could use something like Vuescan and just set up an Automator action on a hot-folder that you scan into.
The upshot - this should be pretty easy, similar to the tethered shooting options.
Good luck! That's a great scanner you've got coming to you.

How can I scan directly into Ps CS4 on a Mac when Rosetta wont work?

I'm using a Mac Pro Quadcore with Snow Leopard version 10.6.8 and want to scan photos straight into Ps CS4 version 11.0.2 using a Canon Canoscan LIDE 100.
BUT when I go to Import there is no TWAIN option, there is only: Variable Data Sets (grayed out), Video Frames to Layers, Anti-Alised PICT, PICT Resources and Notes (grayed out).
I right click on Adobe Photoshop CS4 inside the Ps CS4 folder to bring up "Get Info" and click the check box that states "Open using Rosetta" BUT when I click open the Ps icon to open it Ps crashes straight away. I click "Reopen" and it crashes straight away. Un tick the Rosetta check box and Ps opens fine.
I assumed this was Apples problem because Rosettas is their program but after walking it through the Apple care operator and following his instructions to download a PowerPC version of VLC (which started up fine without doing a thing)to see if Rosetta was automatically installed, it worked fine, I was told that it's an Adobe problem. Urrrggghhh
Then I downloaded the TWAIN plugin and dropped it into the import-export folder and NOTHING!
The scanner works with Snow Leopards native Image Capture so it's not the scanner. Except that the scanner buttons dont seem to work when they used to on a MacBook. But here on the Mac Pro I cant find anything within the Ps menus that resembles "permission" to scan.
I need to do a lot of photo correction/remove blurred/restoration and read that it's better to scan the old photos straight into Ps to ensure no quality is lost during the scan. Regardless if this 100% true I still should be able to scan straight into Ps. I mean the CS4 package + Mac cost enough.
What is it that I'm doing wrong or missing here? Any help would be sooo appreciated!

Hi Mate - I'm using CS4 Extended Ps v11.0.2, according to the Adobe site photoshop instals a 32 bit version only. How can I find out exactly by checking out preferences etc? I'll have to go hunt out the box.
Thanks for the reply.

Problem - I can import from mailbox but not scan directly into PDF

Hi guys,
I hope you can help.
I have a Xerox 7132 printer/scanner/copier which has been set up and working on a small office network for a while now. Recently two users of four have found they can no longer scan directly into Acrobat Standard 9 from the application. (The other two are fine and can do everything as before. One is using Acrobat Standard 9 and the other Pro X).The two who have the problem are able to scan to email. They can also scan (from the scanner) to a mail box. However if they stay at their machines and using Acrobat choose to create PDF - scan etc. etc. and then choose to hide native menu, when they click scan an error pops up which simply says - 'PARAMETER'. Not Bad parameter or anything else, just the one word - PARAMETER.
I found a few bits and pieces on 'Bad Parameter' which state the fix as selecting the scanner. In this case the scanner is selected - 'Xerox Network Scanner'.
I can ping and find the scanner. I can print to it. I can scan into a mailbox. I just lost functionality to print direct from the Acrobat Standard 9. I have to first scan the item into a mailbox, and then import it into Acrobat.
I'm running XP Pro SP3.
Acrobat is version 9.5.2 and it is fully updated.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I can't tell you why the 3G isn't recognized by FCP and I have no way to test whether it's normal since I don't have access to that model. But just to suggest that you use Image Capture to bring the clips into your computer and then import those into FCP. An extra step, but FWIW, that's the workflow I use for the 4S – even though it appears in the import window.
As for your missing Desktop listing, I have experienced that and as I recall I trashed preferences and it reappeared. BTW, I assume shows properly in your Finder sidebar?

Scan directly into Adobe

I just setup a new workstation with Adobe 8 Standard. When you create a PDF from scanner, it prompts you to save the file first. I have to save the file and then continue on. It then opens in Adobe. In previous versions this step was not needed, it would scan directly into Adobe without asking to save the file first. I can't see how to make Adobe 8 work like the previous versions

That is a new feature in Adobe Acrobat 8. You can't change it.

Scanning directly into Photoshop Elements 8 from Officejet 5740

I just installed an Officejet 5740 All-In-One. I did the standard install and am able to print fine. I would like to be able to scan directly into Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 running on Mac OSX 10.10. When I go to the File>Import menu, the new device doesn't show up. Is there something else that I need to install or configure for this to work?

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are experiencing issues when scanning from your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer to Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer.

To start troubleshooting please click here. Once the support document opens please click the drop down for 'Scanning a Photo or Document'. Next, follow the steps listed to complete the scan under the supported HP Scan or HP Utility Software. If the scanner fails to perform under the HP software then a driver issue may be occuring.

I've been researching this for my project too. Here's 3 great articles I found on migrating your film scans to Aperture via Automator.

Can I open directly into slideshow mode?

Is it possible once having cretaed a photo gallery to also create a seperate link to open a web page directly into Sl,odeshow mode without having to first go to the gallery page and click on click on Play Slide Icon link for the Slideshow pop up.?
It would be great to have the option of creating alink directly to the slideshow.
Hope someone can help me out please..
David

without having to first go to the gallery page and click on click on Play Slide Icon link for the Slideshow pop up.?
no you can't, because the pop up slideshow window widget requires the thumbnails page to be opened first, so that the image stream loader loads in the images.
It would be great to have the option of creating alink directly to the slideshow.
but you can have slideshow directly on the thumbnails page, if you know how to work iweb javascript widgets.
Here is my example: http://www.cyclosaurus.com/iWeb2/Photo_Albums/Pages/Muse.html
javascript is linked to the example.

Mid 2013 Migration - Can't Sign Directly Into 2013 FE Server

Migration to 2013 almost complete. While testing ran into the following scenario: 2010 FE Standard Server, 2013 FE Standard Server, 2013 Edge Standard Server. DNS entries still pointing at 2010 FE server (sipinternaltls, lyncdiscover, admin, dialin, meet,
sip, sipinternal).
If I sign out of Lync, go to cog - tools - options - personal - advanced - and set my internal server name to the 2013 FE standard server, I cannot sign in. Replication status between the three servers is "true". If I check the sign-in logs, I
get the following:
1 Login: FAIL (hr = 0x1)
1 server(s) returned
Server: "2010 lync server".domain.com:5061, internal, discoveredadded to list of auto-discovered servers
signin to server=<empty server data>
   redirectedServersList="2013 lync server".domain.com, internal;
   autoRetryByErrorCode=1
   withRescheduleHint=0
   withAutoRetrials=0
   Login failed with permanent error or no auto-retrials
Part of the errror makes sense because the DNS entries are still set to the 2010 server. What I do get is that I'm pointing directly at the 2013 server which seems to be working just fine, why would there be connection errors?

Hi,
Did the issued user homed in Lync server 2010 pool or Lync server 2013 pool?
If the user homed in Lync server 2010 pool, then when you point to Lync server 2013 pool with manual login, you will fail to login.
If the user homed in Lync server 2013 pool, did the user move from Lync server 2010 pool or create a new user in Lync server 2013 pool? You can try create a new user in Lync server 2013 pool to have a test.

How do I scan directly into Lightroom from Fujitsu Scansnap

I want to scan archival family photos into Lightroom directly from my Fujitsu Scansnap ix500.
Can this be done?
Thanks!
/john

Lightroom does not have any provisions to work with a scanner. You will need to use other software to scan your images and store them on your hard drive. Then you can import them into Lightroom from there.

I moved to overseas and bought a new Mac. Can I still log into my Australian Apple ID?

So, I have a Macbook Air (13 inch, Mid 2011, Version 10.10.1 Yosemite).
It's running out of space and kinda getting old. So I want to get a new Mac Mini because I can get hold of a cheap good quality screen, keyboard, and a mouse.
The problem is that I have moved overseas. I'm no longer in Australia. I won't be back in Australia for quite some time.
So my question is, could I still access my Australia iTunes and App Store while I'm overseas even if I buy a new Mac Mini and try to use it outside Australia?
Because when you first fire up your MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or any other Apple products, they ask you to pinpoint your location.
I would love to have access to stuff on Australian iTunes store. They have what I need and and also the Australian stuff that you can't get off other country's iTunes store. Plus, I have already purchased so much stuff off iTunes and AppStore.
So, please someone help me out here! It would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I will have to ask a friend of mine who still lives in Australia to buy a new Mac Mini and fire it up and pinpoint the location in Australia and ask him to bring it with him next time I see him.
Cheers!! Have a good one!

The physical location of your Mac is not relevant to your Apple ID's actual region setting.
You will be able to log into your account and keep all your previous purchases just fine.
If you are going be maintaining an Australian Payment Method for your Apple ID, then you should have no issue with your past purchases on your new Mac.
If you use iTunes Gift cards, they will need to be from Australia as each country gets specific gift cards that can only be used with Apple ID's from that country.
Its technically not legal to buy from a store of a country you are not actually in. But I don't know of anybody who's actually not been able to do this.
All in all, you should have no issue, locating the new Mac wherever you are now, but still use your Australian account.

__Just bought a Canon Scanner (CanoScan9000F) - how do I scan directly into Photoshop CS5?

I have a CanoScan 9000F scanner - I'm trying to scan through Photoshop CS5 Extended but I just can't figure it out...
I downloaded the TWAIN plug-in:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405072.html

Canoscan comes with a bunch of software including ScanGear - in manual it says you should use this instead of Twain (don't know why that) or VIA. If you installed everything correctly you should see the it in File->Import->CanoScan 9000F.
On the other hand I have few questions, maybe someone can help:
- how to I scan 48bit images into PSE ?
- is it possiblle to automate dirt / scratch removal for b/w negatives (FARE) ?
- maybe you know of a plug-in that can do it - I have thousands of black and white films to scan, and doing it by hand is not really an option (for colour materials FARE works great)
Other than that i find the scanner quite good, especially the ability to scan more than one frame at a time - I can set it up in a moment (LED light is great, no warm-up time for a scanner finally), and then let it to the work, while i do my work - as scanning - mebye due to the fact that my computer is not the fastest out there) is still slow - 4 slides take > 30 minutes. But the results are very nice - if you want to check the quality, here is the link to my photographs scanned in PSE and Canoscan (origanally at 3200 dpi, resized for the web).

New officejet 6600 - Can't scan or fax, printing A-ok. Using wireless.

Hi I have read and tried every thread on this topic. it is now 6 hours later and about 30 restarts, installs, re-installs and re-re installs, oh and full uninstalls, each time turing off firewall and anti-virus. Microsoft paint won't work either, but the printer shows up in the windows scan and fax, but just hangs when trying to connect. I have tried HP printer and scanner trouble shooter recognizes the printer but when scan trouble is selected hangs also on drivers. What else.. umm I tried most of the help topics here... so who is up to the challange of this one. Windows 7 machine. I had a office jet 6700 connected last week worked great at work, so bought this 6600. I thought conflict but uninstalled all hp files and reinstalled using hp installation package. Followed thread on regestry updating, and services.msc. I read about reg edit or mechanic, have used AVG reg cleaner, but disabled it for the install.
This question was solved.

This was posted on the forum really really works and now I can scan!

I can't scan documents into Acrobat 9

Our users all have new computers with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I seem to be having problems with scanning. When a user tries to scan to pdf by selecting create pdf from scanner it never seems to work. I have tried a million different settings and have the latest updates with the latest drivers. Here is a list of problems the users are experiencing
1. Scan is fast but the transfer process is extremely slow.
2. It will scan all pages but only shows 1 in Acrobat.
3. After scanning a couple a pages it will stop and say that scanning was canceled. Even though the user never canceled.
All the sytems are the same. Core i7, 8Gb ram, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
We are using HP MFP 3015, 3050, and 1319.
Thank you for your help.

As far as I know (I am a user, not Adobe) Acrobat does not itself scan... it uses a TWAIN driver to communicate with the scanner (the scanner's software?) and that twain driver (the scanner's software?) is what is actually doing the work and passing the image over to Acrobat
Since Win7 is still new, my GUESS is that you need a newer twain driver and/or software provided by the scanner company... this would be especially true for 64bit Windows
