Photoshop and the new scanner?

I'm having a bit of a problem using my old Photoshop 5.0 with my new Epson 2580 scanner and new iMac G5.
Quite simply put, how do I scan photos and import them into Photoshop? I used to be able to do this easily with my old scanner. But now I can't figure out how to do it now. Thanks for the help!

Ooh. Unless you can find a standalone driver on Epson's site, you're going to have a problem, since PS 5 only runs in Classic. Most Classic apps are okay for working on files, but they aren't usually able to connect to hardware from within OS X.
If the only way to use your scanner is through PS, you've got a few choices: look for a third party driver like Vuescan or Silverfast (although it might be cheaper to replace your scanner), upgrade to at lest PS 7 (PS CS2 is the current version), or pick up a copy of Photoshop Elements, which is cheaper. You might also try Graphic Converter, which is cheaper still and does accept some PS plug-ins. Did your scanner come with Photoshop Elements? Many do. In that case, just install PE, which is better than the old lite versions of PS anyway.
EDIT Epson does seem to have standalone drivers for this scanner, judging from their website.

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

Photoshop and the Windows 7 Taskbar Jump List

One great tool for Windows 7 users is the Taskbar. start up Photoshop and the icon will show up in the taskbar. Right-click on that icon and you can pin it to the taskbar for one-click launch. The best thing about this is the list (aka "Jump List") of the 10 most recent files you will see if you right-click on the taskbar icon. You can also edit this list to remove files that you have deleted or simply pin a file to the list. Click on a file anywhere in the list and it will open. But what if you would like to increase the number of recent files? You can,and here's how:
Right-click on a vacant spot in the taskbar. Click on Properties in the context menu. Then click on the Start Menu tab. Now follow the screenshot:
You can set that jump list number up to 60 items, but your screen resolution is the limiting factor. I can set it up to 25,much better than 10 and it is for all icons in the taskbar. It's a quick way to open a file without opening Bridge or going to the File > Open Recent files list in PS.
This tip doesn't make the rounds too often and it's worth a repeat. I can only vouch for Windows 7, let us know if it works in Vista or XP.

Good plan. You'll like my Configure the Windows 8 "To Work" Options book too if you go that route. No, Windows 8 does not offer compelling reasons to move up. In fact a lot of stuff is just deleted that had value. Virtually no one can figure out what Microsoft's "strategy" is with this - I've come to conclude they don't really have a concerted strategy, and they're just trying to cover it up with Marketing BS.
About the only things I've seen going for Windows 8 are:
It's oriented toward tablets, so there will be some new tablet offerings coming out that will run a flavor of it.
It's pared down to such an extreme that it runs noticeably leaner and faster on a desktop system.
There's a cheap upgrade available ($39.99 if you have any older version of Windows).
Obvious negatives:
Completely revamped Start screen with the desktop being put off to the side. Desktop apps considered "legacy" now.
No start button, but non-obvious "hot corners" you have to just know about.
Little attempt to make it possible to use just the mouse and click on stuff, as has been the tradition.
No visual styles on the desktop at all, making it look plain and flat, and making it difficult to use multiple applications at once.
Microsoft wanting you to walk through their online App Store at every turn.
There's a web page describing all the useful stuff they've removed... It's no wonder the upgrade is going to be cheap:

How do you edit photos with photoshop from the new Photos app? The edit in external editor menu item seems to be gone.

Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

I just installed Photoshop and the menus are tiny, unusable

I just installed Photoshop and the program interface is tiny, I need a magnifying glass to see the menus. Windows 8. All my other apps installed fine. Why would Photoshop do this?
It's basically unusable.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for moving this topic...I couldn't find it in the Photoshop General Discussion though, so I'm replying here. I managed to find a workaround (not a solution). After finally finding another text adjustment setting*, and despite warnings from my computer, I was able to find a resolution combination that worked, and made Photoshop look normal. I looked at my other (almost identical) laptop where Photoshop IS working and used that resolution.
(Why couldn't a single support person from four companies, in hours of chats and calls, think of that?) After changing the resolution, things got huge, but a popup came up saying 250%, which altered me. I changed it to 125%, then all was good.
(* the "windows 8 display setting screens do not show this adjustment, you have to go to another control panel window to see the text adjustment....Windows 8 is so cryptic.),
Hopefully this will save some other ******* days of headache. Unfortunately I can't run at my new laptop's resolution but at least I can get back to work.
Default setting - 3200x1800 250% text size
New setting - 1600x900 125% text size
Maybe Adobe could fix this problem. All my other Adobe apps look fine at 3200x1800.
Thanks.

I need to connect my old Mac book pro to the new one to transfer files. The old one doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Will the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter or Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work?

I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate. The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
Thank you!

Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to. How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it. Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

I have loaded Lion on my MacBook and the new trackpad functions work only on one ordinary account or user and not on the admin account. The trackpad preferences are well set. What can I do?

iCloud should still help you reduce some hard drive space. Just select "optimize" in the icloud tab in Mac Photo App preferences.
Granted, not the same as completely offloading your library to a back-up drive at your location.
Good Luck!

How do I get a home page that shows recent highlights and the news in lieu of Meet Mozilla Foxfire (this comes up each time I open foxfire)

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/919154''
When I downloaded Foxfire the home page came up with "Meet Mozilla Foxfire" then below that it shows "Become a Firefox Expert in 8 Easy Steps". I would like to delete this and in lieu of that show recent highlights and the news. I have no problem with the tool bars they are fine just the home page.

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
Try this (maybe you already have):
-Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
-Do not connect drive but turn it on
-wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
-plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
This is an old drive and may have some timing
issues.
I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago. It
worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.

The old and the new - how to do it? cross post in Community.linux-User International

Hello,
Currently I have Netware 6.5.7 SB suite/ has GroupWise.
I want to move to the Linux platform with OES2/NOWS.
The "Boss" wants to keep the current domain: [email protected]
He wants to change it to a new web site domain name:
[email protected]
I already have the web site redirected.
Type in old domain name and it goes to new domain name.
He will however drop the old domain in a few months after all customers make
the change.
I am sure that this happens to many companies that change their domain name.
How can I do this?
Can I use my old server (GroupWise/Netware) with the old domain email
addresses and the new Linux server with the new domain address at the same
time?
Alternatively, could somehow redirect all mail from the old email address to
the new one?
The problem is, I have a lot of email on the older Netware server that I
still need.
Could it be transferred to the Linux server?
Any advice that you can provide will be appreciated very much.
Thanks for your time,
Jim
RE:The old and the new - how to do it?

Anders,
That does not sound to hard ---
I will look into that.
Thanks!
