Scan photos into PSE 9

I am quite and amateur to PSE9 and want to successfully scan photos into PSE for editing. Anyone have a step by step resource I should follow? Thanks.
Rcre

I have an iMac with OS 10.6.6 and a Canon Pixma MP970. I tried that process of moving the Twain plugin over. The scanner did show up in the File>import menu, but every time I chose the MP970 PSE9 would crash. I tried choosing MP970 Series Network and it would not recognize the scanner. Tried quitting and restarting PSE9, then tried restarting the computer. Same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot scan photos into catalog

I have an HP printer, 6300 series, that has been able to scan photos into my catalog up until the last time I used it. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it and it worked great. Tonight I went to scan in some photos for a graduation invite and it will not import them. It says they are already in the catalog. They're not. Obviously there is a communication problem. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this or lead me in the right direction as to who can help me with this? Windows updates are current. Thank you, I use pse 7 and it has worked fine in the past. Thank you.

Hi Garry,
Thanks for your response. I did check the steps you sent below and yes,
it's a 32.8BA file. However, when I open up Twain 32 properties under scan
results (from the Import-Export) it comes up with: Trend micro security has
checked this file for computer viruses and other security threats. The
results appear below and it lists File Name: Twain 32.8BA Scan results No
incidents detected. I checked the trend micro and it's currently off so I'm
confused with this. I get nervous when getting into the nitty gritty of the
computer.
I did find the scans I tried to bring into my catalog buried deep in some
files I never knew existed. In further review of forums I found somebody
suggested to bring the photos in under card reader and choose my printer
from the drop down menu. I tried it and it worked bringing them into the
catalog. BUT, why can't I get it to work the proper way? Is the trend
micro blocking it? This is certainly not my expertise, I appreciate your
patience. Thanks.

Problem with importing scanned photos into iPhoto

I have an Epson scanner that scans photos into the JPEG format. However, when I try to import these photos into iPhoto I am told that the file format is incompatible with iPhoto. This is odd since photos in iPhoto ARE in JPEG format.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sir Leicester

Did you scan these photos as grayscale b/w photos? If so that's the reason. iPhoto does not support the grayscale mode when it has the *+Dot Gain 20%+* profile added to it and that's what scanners use.
Rescan all b/w images as color and they will be accepted by iPhoto. Or you can download the Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, from Toad's Cellar and drop the files onto the application. This will batch convert them to jpegs in the RGB mode with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.

Best format for importing scanned photos into FCP in HDV?

Hi,
I'm importing a lot of scanned photos into FCP, for an HDV project. I will be zooming into these images, panning, and so on.
What is the consensus on the best format to use? I was thinking TIFF but then reading about PNG I am thinking this is perhaps better.
I am dealing with large (up to 1200 dpi) image files, so size is an issue.
Many thanks for your thoughts.

Right, use a PSD with photos on different layers, Import the one document into FCP, each photo is on a different layer in FCP and you can zoom in as you wish by using key frames, once you set all your photos (Layers) the way you want all the same or different etc... you copy and paste them into the time line. I do this all the time and add transitions or effects. works well even with company logos off of a web site. You can zoom in all you want. dude

PSD
Increasingly then image editability is becoming important. The obvious way of maintaining maximum information and maximum editability is to stick with the native application-specific format. Of course it was to avoid this go-it-alone anarchy that file format standards had to be developed in the first place, but the situation with bitmap images is quite special. Currently the vast majority of designers are working on their images in Photoshop and then exporting them to TIFF to use in their DTP application. Why not just cut out the middleman and support the industry standard Photoshop’s PSD format directly?
After all the format is well known. The core format PSD 3.0 format is built on a short header specifying the image size and colour channels and then three information sections called the Colour Mode Data Block, Image Resources Block and Layer and Mask Information Block defining features such as duotone settings, channels and paths and layer opacity and blend mode respectively. After that comes the image data. Naturally the PSD format can support all the advanced features we’ve already looked at such as duotones, clipping paths and channels but it also offers one feature that no other file format does. While every other format must be flattened on export, PSD is the only format that supports layers. Any program that supports PSDs directly can then leverage this layer information as Adobe ImageReady and Deneba Canvas show. Currently the DTP support is fairly basic but the possibility of changing image blend modes or editing layer text or tweaking adjustment layers depending on the actual spread in which the image appears is creatively mouthwatering.

Can import photos into PSE 12 running on Win 8.1 from a Samsung Galaxy S4, but no videos recognized.

I have about 100 photos and 10 videos on my S4 and I know they're valid because they all display/play back just fine on the device. But Photoshop Elements 12 only recognizes the image files, none of the videos. It tells me there are no valid videos on the device. I'm attempting to import media with the S4 set up as a camera (this is a configuration option Samsung gives you when connecting the phone to a PC via USB).
Update: If I set the device up as a media device, I can use Windows Explorer to copy the video files to my PC. PSE then sees them in the watched folder, imports them, and they work fine. So the issue seems to be in recognizing and importing the videos when the S4 is configured as a camera (the normal way of importing photos and images into PSE).

You must have Premier Elements that recognizes Videos. Premier Elements is sometimes sold in tandem with Photoshop Elements so that both can operate seamlessly.
Amazon has got special price for buying both packages together. I believe it is a difference of about $20, i.e. you pay 20 bucks more if you buy both products.

Batch scan photos into bridge

Hi,
Hope I can find a solution to this puzzle. I was given an envelope containing several pages containing black and white proof photos of my friend's mother's wedding. The photos are approximately 1 x 1.5 inches in size.
I want to scan them into Bridge so I can fix any blemishes (ie, watermarks/dust, etc) and then compile these photos into a website so they can be viewed.
I also want to save each photo individually so my friend may arrange to print copies at a photo booth.
I was thinking along the lines of making a cardboard mask to block out half of the photos hoping that my scanner may scan the photos individually (it has that capability). But I then thought that there may be some very talented people in this forum that may have some suggestions.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this and maybe recommend the scan settings (dpi, etc) would be gratefully accepted.
Thanking anyone in advance.

Bridge is not more then a file browser, very useful but not suitable for the task you have in mind.
You can use Photoshop for that. I would choose to use a high resolution for the scan to gain as much data as needed from the small contact sheet photo's.
For instance if you need the original to show on a website usually around 75ppi the quality is reasonable on most screens (although 96 ppi is a more common used setting)
If you scan your original with the quality set to 300 ppi this would mean resizing without recalculating the resolution (also called interpolation) each image from appr.1 x 1,5 inch to appr. 4 by 6 inch would result in a photo with 75 dpi.
If you choose 600 ppi as scan setting quality the same photo's at about 75 dpi would result in about 8 x 12 inch.
So you can do the math your self. Starting with small originals you have to use a good scanner set to a high quality to have more options for resizing and retouching.
However this can be a hard task because usually lots of dust in both film and glass from producing contact sheet is hardly visible on the sheet itself but will be magnified after resizing…
If you scan one sheet in PS or using the scan application from the scanner and open it in PS then go the menu File / Automate / Crop and straighten photo's.
This usually makes a great job of cropping the images from the sheet in separate photos, use a batch process (you can create actions your self in the action panel) to save them or to apply the filter dust and scratches (not always suitable but sometimes it can be useful, just try)
Then use Bridge to sort, rename, add metadata etc.

Bridge failing to load photo into PSE on mac preview only

Anyone have any ideas of why most of the time importing photos into a PSE file works but occasionally it only opens the photo in preview on my macbook?

I don't really follow you, but do you mean that double clicking a file in bridge usually opens the file in PSE but sometimes in Preview instead? Check your bridge>preferences>file type associations to see if you have any formats set to go to Preview instead. For instance, you may have told bridge to send jpegs to PSE, but PNG files to Preview.

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

Saving scanned photos into iPhoto

We've just bought a Canon Pixma MP620 and I want to save the photos directly into iPhoto. Is there anyway to do this? So far I've tried dragging and dropping into iPhoto (with it open) and it hasn't worked. Nor could I get iPhoto to import into its library.

I think its down to the software that came with the printer. I use a HP Photosmart 2575 and one of the options I had to set up was scan 'jpeg to iPhoto'. This does what it says, I have used it before but I have just tried it again and after the scan it opened iPhoto and imported the jpeg. Its iLife 08 I use not sure which version of iPhoto comes with that.
I would have a look at the set up of your scanning software, you just may find an option or an option you can add. I assume if you have just bought it the printer is new, why not call the Canon help line.
regards

Download Blackberry 10 photos into PSE 10?

I cannot get PSE 10 to recognize my Blackberry Z10 phone as a camera or card reader when I connect to the PC with a USB cable and try to download my photos. I have tried removing the memory card from the phone and inserting it into the PC card reader, but PSE 10 then picks up all images on the card including music album covers, PDF files, etc. How do I get PSE 10 to recognize the phone as a camera or card reader?
Browsing to the folder on the phone with "From files and folders" is not a good solution since the imported pics are not stored in the same folder scheme as when I import "From Camera or Card Reader".
Thanks,
Bob

This seems like a hardware problem rather than a problem with PSE.
The error message is often seen when Faultrep.dll, a file in the System 32 folder has become damaged or corrupt.
It can sometimes become defective when updating a browser.
Go to the following link and run the Microsoft drivers update to see if that helps.

Importing scanned photos into IPhoto

I scanned a lot of old black and white photos and they are sitting in finder. I am trying to import them into IPhoto and they can't. It says that it is an unreadable file and could not be formatted because it is an unrecognized format. What am I do wrong????

iPhoto only works with RGB photos - sRGB is the best
you can use Preview to change the color profile or search Old Toad's posts for a link to his automator script to do them in batches

Scan photos into iPhoto

I want Photos that I scan to automatically be in iPhoto. I tried this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3555679?start=0&tstart=0
but I get the image in iPhoto twice instead of only once. I tried removing and adding the Import files to iPhoto action in the automator and it does not work without it but duplicates the image with it on.
Any other ideas or suggested improvements to this one?

More of an Automator query than an iPhoto one, so I'd ask on the forum for the version of OS X that you have. Hazel is an app that will also do what you want:

Why doesn't iOS7 sort my scanned photos into 'Years' correctly?

I have taken the time to edit the 'date taken' on older photos that I have scanned and added to my iPhoto library. However, after syncing them to my IOS devices, the native iOS7 Photo app (not iPhoto) presents them in the wrong Years in the Collections: Years - Moments view. Does the software not honor the 'date taken' info from iPhoto on the Mac?

I have taken the time to edit the 'date taken' on older photos that I have scanned and added to my iPhoto library.
Try, if setting the option "Modify Original File" will help: Try only on a few photos, to see if it works, before you invest too much work.
What is your iPhoto version? Depending on the version, the synched photos may be sorted by "date Changed" instead of the capture date.
