PHotoshop CS4 - scanner doesn't show up in File - Import

Hello,
I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner, and Photoshop CS4 extended and a Mac OSX 10.6.3. I installed photoshop but the scanner doesn't show up under the File>Import menu. Normally it be there, i'd click it, and it launches the scanner within photoshop.
I found some info on google which suggested to look in a folder on the installation DVD called "Goodies"
In there is a folder called Optional "Plug-Ins"
In there is a folder called "Import-Export"Where i found a file called TWAIN.plugin
I put the file into Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export but it still doesn't appear in photoshop file > import.
Any ideas on what i should do?
Many thanks
Rossella

Use the stand-alone application.
And/or do a Forum search for »CS4 scanner« – that should turn up a couple threads.

Epson 2480 Scanner doesn't show up in File Import menu in PSE 6

Hi
I'm on:
Intel iMac
Mac OS X 10.5.8
I recently upgraded from PSE 4 to PSE 6 and everything is fine. It delivers everything I expected but for one little thing.
Il have been using my Epson 2480 scanner with PSE 4 for years both on G4 and Intel based Macs. I never had an issue. The driver used to be listed in the File>Import menu.
After installing PSE 6 I uninstalled the Epson driver and installed the updated version.
The Adobe authored TWAIN.plugin is correcty installed in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/ImportModules.
It still works in PSE 4.
Yet it isn’t listed as it should in PS6. Did I miss something?
TIA
Nick

Bingo!
I don’t repair permissions often. I probably should;)
I’ll check the Rosetta box when I need to scan stuff and I’ll let it unchecked the rest of the time. PSE 6 works perfectly well as it is.
BTW I read in the PS forum people say it was as shame to use a sophisticated soft like PS for such a trivial job as scanning. They suggested one could just use the scanner dedicated soft. I found the argument ludicrous. If I need to process the images with PSE it’s darn convenient to get them with PSE in the first place. Thanks to you I'll be able to do so.
Thanks for your help and patience, Barbara.
Regards.

PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset file application support. It is listed as the top external editor. But will not go there

PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset photoShop file application support. It is listed as the top editor in the Light room preference. But it will not go there. You can use export to Photoshop CC but not as a editor. It stays there. I have OS10.8 and Photoshop CC not Photoshop CC2014 at this time. If I go to presets in Lightroom preferences and push restore export presets
do I also lose my plugin presets and have to reload them ?

Glad you were able to resolve your issue. Thanks for posting back with how you did it.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My scanner doesn't show up in the"please select a device list" windows 7 - HP7300 all-in-one

In acrobat X-my scanner doesn't show up in the "please select a device list" how do I get it to see my scanner? - windows 7 - HP 7300 all-in-one

In case anyone else finds this thread I did end up getting mine to work (after abut 48 hours of pulling my hair out). The "solution" was simple in my case, but it might have been a coincidence. I turned the wireless off on my phone for a different reason - then I when I turned it back on the device instantly appeared in spotify-desktop! I had already factory reset my phone, so I know that establishing a connection to the wireless was not the problem in the first place. Also, I was able to play music on my phone, so I know that it was hooked up to the wireless (I turned off 3g just to be sure).
But for some reason when I toggled the wireless off then on again - it worked. Go figure.

Older epson 1250 Scanner doesn't show in PSE 6 (mac)

I have an epson 1250 several years old. It doesn't show in PSE6 for import. It does show in preview so I can scan that way. I recently dowloaded the latest driver for the 1250, didn't help.

You don't ever open plugins. You just put them where they should be and access them through the program itself.
Thanks that is good to know
Epson's driver support for older scanners is very spotty. Did you try installing the older utility, as I suggested?
That is a dead end - back to mac classic days. No I think I have the right driver. It works with the mac preview app and if i open it from system preferences. But I use PSE 6 a lot and would like to be able to scan with it. I installed the rosetta software and restarted the computer. I guess it may be time to call it quits unless you have another idea? Thanks for trying.

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Transport Package doesn't show up in pending imports after Package upload.

Hello,
I am importing WPC web content (Transport package) (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/77da3bb8036ef0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm ). Transport Package doesn't show up in pending imports after Package upload. I repeated the package upload. Still its not showing under "Pending Imports"
Anything else has to be done while importing a transport package (wpc web content).

Hi Martin
Thanks, it worked!
A note when uploading different files with "non-functional" extensions could have been nice there.

Photoshop CS4 Photomerge doesn't work under windows 8.1

Hello!
I have Photoshop CS4. Whereas it worked very well under Windows XP SP 3, I have a problem using it under Windows 8.1.
Photomerge doesn't work. As soon as I click on it, It shuts down Photoshop.
I have a trial version of Photoshop CS 5 and photomerge works well in this version.
I tried to solve the problem through Windows but it didn't work.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi @inetdude
Since there is no full feature software and driver for 8 or 8.1, I am not sure what else to suggest other than for you to reach out to Microsoft. The driver you are using is an in-OS driver, perhaps they can help you.

New scanner doesn't show up, old scanner still available

Hi,
I got a new Epson V700 to replace my Canon scanner.
The V700 works fine using both the SilverFast software (Epson-SE vers. 6.6.2r5) and Image Capture.
I am running Photoshop CS5 in 32 bit mode and the old scanner shows up in the drop down menu ->File ->Import
But the new scanner does not.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Steve

I would say that it's obvious you did not install the twain plug-in for the new scanner—if it came with one.
But scanning from within Photoshop is the height of inefficiency. You're not even using Photoshop to scan at all, Photoshop has no scanning capabilities at all, you're just tying up the Photoshop application to call upon the scanner's software to scan and then bring the scanned image into Photoshop.
If you use SilverFast, or VueScan, or the scanner's stand-alone scanning software, you can continue to work in Photoshop while the scanning is going on in the background.

Won't allow Photoshop CS4 to be default to open PSD files?

I am running Windows Vista and I'm trying to set Photoshop CS4 to be the 'default' to open .psd files, but for some reason it won't allow me to do this? Has anyone else ever had this issue. I have no clue why it won't allow me to do this because it's the default for several other extensions...
Any help or insight would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
Weird thing is, it shows that PhotoShop CS4 is what is used to open the .psd, .psb, etc files.. but I right click it and it has two other options.
I actually chose "Open With" Adobe Bridge, just out of curiosity to see if it would work and it does. It seems like Photoshop CS4 is the only program I can't set to default open these files!
It's not making much sense to me right now haha.
Thanks for the help though!

Finder doesn't show new folders/files

I've just created some new folders and files using the "save as" dialog from within Photoshop CS 8.0. Irritatingly, they don't show up in Finder. I can find them using the File>Open dialog in PS, or using, for example, Transmit.
This seems like a very basic function of Finder which is clearly BROKEN.
Changing views/directories/windows etc in Finder doesn't help, nor does quitting PS.
Any hints on how to remedy and/or report this to Apple would be welcome.

It finally occurred to me to relaunch Finder (duh!) and now it shows the new files/folders.

Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

Safari doesn't show iweb audio files - help

Hi
Just created my first iWeb site and it has a page with 1 minute samples of music. I tested these with Firefox and Safari both before and after publishing to the web and all seemed OK. When I tried today, Safari doesn't display the files at all whereas Firefox works fine.
Any clues?
Thanks

Thanks for quick feedback -
Curiouser and curiouser ......
I now find that the browsers on my iMac (Firefox and Safari) both show/play the audio samples on http://www.smoothnoodles.co.uk/smoothnoodles/Samples.html, whereas on my MacBook Pro, only Firefox does. Safari doesn't even display the files
Is there some setting in Safari that determines whether certain file types are loaded/displayed? Both browsers are Safari 5.1.7 and OS is 10.6.8 on both machines.
