Photo scanning issue

i can not scan photos from my kodak printer from photshop..it is reading an old printer that is no longer installed...kodak states it is with the software from adobe?can someone  please help...thanks

Photoshop has never been able to scan, it is NOT a scanning application.  Kodak is giving you unadulterated B.S.
Scanning inside Photoshop was and remains a most inefficient way to scan.  You should scan outside of Photoshop
When you used the Import menu in Photoshop to scan in the past, all you were doing is tying up Photoshop while it called on the scanner application provided by the scanner manufacturer to scan using the TWAIN plug-in.  Now the TWAIN plug-in has been deprecated by Adobe.
If Kodak will not provide a scanning application and a driver of its own so that you could scan outside of Photoshop, they shouldn't even be selling that contraption as a scanner.
The workaround is to use a utility like VueScan (excellent value) or SilverFast (expensive).  Check to see whether your part-time scanner is supported by either of those.  Then you can even continue working in Photoshop while the scanning is being done in the background.
VueScan even puts a Scan menu item in Photoshop's Import menu.

    Hi @Uguessedit,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 refurbished printer is worse than your previous printer, but I am happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies. Copying a Multipage Original in Order (Collating).
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    What type of scanning issues are you having? Are you getting any errors?
    In the meantime, please see this guide, A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Pri....

  • Acrobat 7 Pro Windows Scanning Issues for Non-Admins

    Hello,
    We have several users that are having scanning issues. WE recently removed administrator rights from our end users and now for some reason Acrobat 7 Professional doesn't show any scanners in the list when they try to create a PDF from the scanner. Windows shows the scanner in the scanners and cameras section of the control panel. Any help would be appreciated.
    -Jared

    I was able to install it on Win 7, even the 64-bit version. But neither AcroTray or the Adobe PDF print driver for AA 7 works on Win 7. That means you have to use workarounds to get things done if you succeed in installing. it is time for you to probably buy a new copy.

  • CS5 HDR pro two photos alignment issue

    Although I really enjoy the new tool, I'm having trouble aligning two photograph when I open then through the HDR pro tool.
    Why is alignment of two photos so bad in HDR pro and perfect if you align the two same photos as two layers? I've even tried reopening the same files over and over and get different results each time in HDR pro.
    In view of this, shouldn't there be a realign button in the slider adjustment screen, or options for alignment, such as Use the regular auto-align?
    Since alignment works fine with layers, is it possible to have an option to use layers as a starting point for HDR pro instead of opening saved photos only? I realize this probably might not give perfect results as just fixing the automatic alignment issue...
    But hey, I'm just trying to find a workflow around this if I didn't have my tripod with me at time of shoot... and I shot only two photos to composite.

    Hi Chris,
    thanks for looking into this matter. Where do you want me to send the files (over 50 megs zipped).. they're CR2 files...

  • Officejet 5740 Scanning Issue

    I am having scanning issues.  I just purchased this printer in February 2015.  I am trying to figure out how I can use the document feeder to scan.  When I place the documents into the document feeder and press scan and then choose the networked computer I want to scan to, the document feeder will not feed the documents onto the glass.  The scanner scans (with no document on the glass) and I get a blank scan sent to the computer as a .jpg.  I want the scans to come through as .pdf.  So in theory this is a 2 part question.
    1.  How to scan using the document feeder?
    2.  How to save the scan as a .pdf?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for your help.  I figured that out on my own, not the resolution I was hoping for.  Sometimes I bring my work laptop home and didn't want to install the Full Software onto my work laptop.  But if that is the only way I can resolve my issue, then I guess it will have to be done.
    Thanks again!

  • Apple TV, i-Photo & scanned (jpeg) images ......

    Has anyone had this problem .....
    Photos scanned okay and imported into i-Photo no problem. Placed into album no problem. Created slideshow no problem.....
    Came to sync with Apple TV and nothing. Apple TV picks up the album and the slideshow name BUT sees them as empty and consequently will not sync?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Have you tried syncing the iphoto album rather than the slideshow, it maybe your jpegs are incompatible in some way.

  • Gmail Scanning Issues – WorkCentre 7120 - 7125

    Several posts have been discussing the recent changes in the Gmail security parameters and the issues it is causing with their multi-function devices. We are hoping this information will get you scanning once again with an alternate method while the email issue is being researched.
    This focuses on the WorkCentre7120 7125 product family in relation to the scan to email feature with Gmail in which the Xerox device produces different error and fault codes relating to communication.
    Recent changes in Gmail security parameters have changed the authentication requirement which is causing the Multi-Function Printer to have authentication failures. Gmail has two open Authentication methods (OAuth and OAuth2).
    To isolate the cause of your errors and confirm if the issue is the Gmail server authentication, please use this test which will take you through each of the steps. If the telnet test fails as outlined, then the options are to install scanning to a network folder or to a mailbox (folder).
    These instructions are intended for an advanced user.
    Perform a Telnet Test to Confirm the Cause of the Issue and Review Alternate Scanning Methods
    The Gmail Scanning Issue document also includes step by step (all with screen shots) on other forms of scanning the device supports (essentially alternative methods).
    The issue is now in Engineering and a possible resolution is being developed but supplied in the linked document above are alternate methods of scanning for customer use.
    NOTE – This does not address or outline the use of any other ”free” email providers.

    Mitchell the user can use Restricted Gmail SMTP server : aspmx.l.google.com :25 with out authentication and with out SSL and TLS ssl encryption but the can scan to email can only be sent to Gmail or Google Apps users . Regards

  • Photo Quality Issues with Pixma MG6220

    I am frustrated.  The first photo printed from this printer was of poor quality.  It was very 'grainy' and 'noisey'.  I printed from the printer itself (put camera card into printer).  I then printed from Picasa, same problem, very poor quality.  It was then a couple of months before I attempted printing again.  I printed from PS Elements 11.  The quality was much improved but not what I expected from this printer.  I finally called tech support, after tweaking every setting I could find.  They essentially blamed my computer, wanted to reinstall the drivers and I need to buy new ink cartridges.  It's NOT my computer.  I'm curious as to why they think it's the drivers.  It very well could be bad cartridges.  The printer was purchased in December (six months ago).  I'm wondering why the photo software would make a difference.  I'm irritated that the people I spoke with seemed completely incurious as to what, exactlly, was wrong with the photos.  It would appear that no on else has had this issue.  The reviews for this printer were very good.  I can't imagine reviewing these images and stating that they are "excellent" as I have read from many reviews.  I'll be more than happy to attach scanned images for review (scanner works fine).  Thank you. 

    Hi,
    Check this for scanned images and originals for reference:
    http://flickr.com/gp/skital/Y9615F
    (you can download full-res versions there as well - it's a bit hidden if you don't know flickr)
    This was using Canon Glossy II photo paper and NOT Canon Ink. I was trying different replacement inks over the time and I had similar results.
    I'm a little bit hesitant with spending more money on this printer, esp. that I had never have this kind of quality issues with my previous Canon printer (MP600) when using non canon inks - I had color issues but never grainess.
    Well, I may try original inks again, but it breaks a deal for this printer.

  • Photo scanning question: automatic cropping is imprecise?

    Hi, I am trying to scan a large body of family photos, and have read a bunch of tutorials on many websites. I bought a Canoscan 8800 scanner for the job.
    However, when I scan a photo and set the scan size to either a fixed size (3x5), or even "automatic" the scanned image produces unwanted edges that I will have to manually crop later. Is this normal? Isn't the point of choosing a fixed size or automatic, is that you don't have to re-sized it later?
    Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, of if the scanning software or hardware is the issue?
    Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to manually crop each photo.

  • Photo interlacing issue

    Hello, I recently got my wife a iphone 5c. Seems fine in every respect except when you take photos. They end up with an odd interlacing like a bad scan or something. I tried searching for a similar issue but seems everything I saw was about an interlacing problem was with the entire screen. This happens only with the camera app... the screen is fine otherwise. Oddly enough it does not do it with video and also when HDR is on, the 'normal exposure' that it saves looks good but the HDR has the horrible interlacing. If HDR is off the interlacing is there though. Is there a way to fix this so that we just get nice clear photos?

    I would recommend restoring the iOS and setting it up as new, at least to test. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    If that doesn't fix it, get it serviced. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/
