Scan odd size b&w neg

using canoscan 8400 in Phostoshop CS3. When I try to change input size, photoshop tells me I can't. I think this is old 120 film.
Anyway to scan this odd size neg? No special tray with canoscan for the purpose.

Laurie,
>When I try to change input size, photoshop tells me I can't. I think this is old 120 film.
It's not Photoshop, but your scanner software that is limiting what you can do here. Check the limits of resolution or pixel size or file size for your scanner. There may be a limit that you don't come up against for 35mm film, but will for larger formats.

  • Scanning legal size on Pro 8610 printer

    I have tried everything and can not scan legal size on this printer. It does not have a setting gear icon after you push print like it does when you push print. If you use the feeder on top it does not automatically detect the size, it always scans letter size. This HP printer has been the most frutrating printer I have ever had. I continually disconnects from my computer, I constantly have to reload it with the disk. I cannot initiate that scan from my computer so that I can select legal, because it wont set up. Frustrated, can anyone help me? Thanks

    Hi, No, it does not know. You have to tell is to scan legal size. Please use option from your computer:             Regards.

  • Unable to Completely Scan Legal Size Documents with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    I am trying scan legal sized documents on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have reviewed the forums, and this has been a recurring problem in the past (see link---  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Scanning-Legal-Size-Documents/m-p/35416#M14...   ), but does not appear to be resolved. Whether I use the document feeder or the glass, the document is cut off at the bottom, and appears to be stopping at the 'A4' size, vs. legal. I cannot locate any setting on the scanner itself, or in the HP Utility software to change this, or even to be able to identify the current setting, if it is one. 
    I am using a Mac Pro, system 10.6.8, just installed and started using the printer a couple of days ago, and everything is up to date software-wise. Everything else on this machine has been working beautifully. 
    Can anyone identify what's going on here and how to correct it?
    Thanks for your help--I specifically chose this particular unit over the next model down due to the legal sized glass/bed, and if I can't use it to scan legal docs, well, that's a problem. Thanks for your help!

    Hello,
    Please try the following steps:
    1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
    2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
    4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.
    5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle to enlarge the menu.
    6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Crop To and set as None.
    7. Click OK and try scanning again.

  • LASERJET 100 MFP M175MW scanning legal size document problem

    I am on a Macbook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. I am also using the HP Scan software 4.0.
    I am having problems scanning a Legal Size document. It always cuts off the bottom portion, acting like it was only us letter size.
    After loading a document onto my scanner/printer:
           I open the HP Scan software,
           Select the Scan Button
           Change the Crop to US Legal in the dropdown area.
            Continue
    Then when I look at the image scanned in, it is not complete.
    Is there something else I need to do to make this work, maybe a setting on the actual scanner/printer.
    I have tried to read all support documentation possible and I cannot get this to work. I even updated all my operating systems upgrades, but I am not running Maverick yet.
    I would be thankful for any help at all.
    Thanks!

    @MAMAC4 
    To my knowledge the only way you can scan legal is from the ADF, have you tried that? If you are trying to scan legal sizs docs from the flatbed than you will experience the cut off that you are stating in your post.
    Please try to re-scan the document using your ADF feeder and see if this will solve your issue.
    Thank you.

  • Banner size video - how can I set the canvas to an odd size?

    I'm interested in creating web page ad banners that include some looping video.
    Is there a way to set the canvas size to 350x250 or some other odd size?
    If not, do you know if any other video editing software can allow this?

  • ReMixing odd size video clips

    I just don't seem to be able to figure out what Final Cut Express v4.0.1 is doing when I am working with odd-size clips I find online. My aim is to take any clip I find online, re-mix it into a new mashup and re-post my derivative work online. I purchased FCE because I read of a feature whereby "sequence settings will automatically conform to the first clip you drag onto the timeline".
    This only seems to happen if I am working with clips that already conform to one of the sixteen 'sequence presets' that appear on the load sequence preset button of the sequence settings.
    * I NEED HELP designing a workflow that will allow me to take any odd-size clip, re-mix it and publish it back to the web with the same (or equivalent) settings.
    Thanks in advance.

    OK: after many hours of trial+error here is the best workflow I can come up with for re-mixing (appropriately licensed!) odd-sized web clips with FCE. This example will describe my fav 1024x576 square pixels (which also looks great on DVD on my PAL telly):
    1. Start with a sequence that uses preset "Apple Intermediate Codec 720p(25)" which gives a framesize of 1280x720 square pixels.
    2. Make a .png file 1280x720px with white background and black 1024x576 rectangle centred. (this will serve as guide to edges of desired output clip size and as a mask for QTpro (v7) later on.
    3. Get clips into a format that FCE can handle (QTpro exporting to Apple Intermediate with 25fps works for me (but I will keep the MPEG StreamClip utility mentioned here just in case...))
    4. Import clips and notice how they are automatically centred and behave well at 100%scale 0 Aspect Ratio distortion.
    5. Use File->Export QuickTime Movie to output a .mov with the sequence settings of 1280x720 sq pixels, 25fps Apple Intermediate codec.
    6. Open the exported .mov with QuickTime (PRO) Player v7.6.6, window->Show Movie Properties->click on video track, choose 'visual settings' then open the .png file described in step 2 as a mask. Your movie will now be cropped to the desired 1024x576 square pixels about its centre. Export this cropped .mov to your desired format (my fav is usually H.264 with data rate constrained between 2k-5k depending on the site I will publish on). Further export to iPhone .m4v always look brilliant and are tiny!
    The end.
    p.s. This technique works with any output frame-size smaller than 1280x720 square pixels. Just make the black rectangle in the centre of the .png file described in step 2. whatever size you want.
    p.s.s. I would love to hear feedback / suggestions for simpler workflow.

  • Scanning legal size document on HP 6520

    How do I scan a legal size document on my new HP Photosmart 6520? Glass size is letter size. Is there a document feeder above the paper tray? Not working so far. Thank you.

    Hello kurebeach1,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to do legal size scanning on your HP Photosmart 6520. After checking the HP Photosmart 6520 Product Specifications, the biggest scanning size is 8.5 x 11inches, the PS 6520 does not support legal size scanning.
    See image below:

  • Scanning actual size hi res images

    I am cross-posting this message since I'm not really sure where I should post it.
    I recently switched from a PC to the macbook pro and am using an HP photosmart C7100 series scanner. I cannot figure out how to scan images at actual size using this scanner and the macbook. (I had no problem doing it on the PC with the same scanner.) I have it set to scan to iPhoto.
    What I actually need to do is insert scanned images at actual size into word docs. When I try inserting these scans from iPhoto into Word-- they are much larger than the original. I have tried changing scale and resolution settings and at one point was able to get the image the right size-- but the resolution was terrible. I really need a hi resolution but actual size. (Just for a little more info, I know it is possible to size the image down in Word- but for what I am doing, I absolutely need the image to be the exact size it really is- and these are not standard size images, so resizing in Word has not been an easy task.)
    I have tried everything I can think of with the scanner and iPhoto. I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any tips?
    Thanks so much.

    lana:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. What resolution are you scanning at and what do you mean by actual size? Actual size is relative. A 4x6 photo scanned at 300 dpi will display much bigger on screen than a 4x7 photo scanned at 72 dpi. Both are 4x6 if you print them at their scanned resolution. If I were to scan a 4x6 photo at 72 dpi it will show "actual size" on the monitor since most monitors are at 72 - 90 dpi in resolution. However it will not print very well at 4x6 since there are only 72 pixels per inch in the photo. The more pixels in a photo the better it will print. I scan all of my prints at 300 dpi.
    In Word you can resize the photo exactly by double clicking on the photo and entering the dimensions in the Size section of the Format Picture box that comes up. Otherwise you'll be sacrificing print quality.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Scanning letter size instead of legal

    I'm having problems with Adobe acrobat XI. I have followed previous directions to choose custom scan, options then show native interface. Next is where the problem comes. The box that pops up for me to choose the paper size is grayed out. I cannot click or change anything with it. Is there something I'm missing or maybe a setting somewhere that may be off & need changing?

    Welcome to the Forums!
    One tip might be to try Applications > Image Capture instead of iPhoto. IC allows full control over resolution, etc. I've never scanned to iPhoto, so if that allows full control as well then this tip won't helps.
    However, I think this is an issue with how MS Office on the Mac handles images.
    On my MBP, when I take a pic from a 4 megapixel digital camera (2288x1712 pixels) and insert that into a Word document (Insert menu > Picture > From File), then copy it, switch to Photoshop and create a new document based on the clipboard size, what I get is not the original pixel dimensions, and the size changes depending on how I scale the pic in Word. On the other hand, when I move the same image to my PC laptop and do the exact same thing, in Photoshop I get a 2288x1712 blank file in Photoshop no matter what I do to the image in Word.
    So, unfortunately you may be stuck, unless someone else can offer a better suggestion. Word is really not the app of choice for desktop publishing, image manipulation, etc., but it's unfortunate that the switch impacted you in this way.
    One possibility, assuming you still have your licenses for Windows and MS Office - use BootCamp to run them on your MBP. Clearly not an elegant solution.
    If you can stand something of a learning curve, you might consider Mac desktop publishing software, something like the free, open source scribus, or Adobe InDesign.
    Hope this helps...

  • Scanning different size documents.

    I need to scan letter and legal size documents into one PDF. I have adjusted the presets to Automatic in the paper size section but it only scans them to letter. Help!

    HI @wildabouthusker ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues when scanning from the ADF, but not the glass. You are getting a black line right in the center of the document from top to bottom. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided a document for cleaning the ADF glass and the white plastic strips. Disregard the model, it should be similar to your Laserjet M177fw.

  • How to scan legal size document with Adobe Acrobat 6.0?

    How do you scan legal (8.5 x 14.0) size documents with Adobe Acrobat 6.0.0 ? There is no option for that size paper in the scan menu. And I can't find the answer in either my help file or on-line with Adobe.com. Can anyone help me?

    I use a HP OfficeJet G85. I have no problem copying/printing legal (8.5 x 14) size documents with that all-in-one unit. So I assumed it should be able to send the image it collected to my Adobe Acrobat program instead of to the printer. Am I missing something? Or should I put the question to HP instead of Adobe?
