Scan slides on Canoscan 8800F/Mac OS 10.8.5

I am not a techie and would like advice on scanning slides with Canoscan 8800F, Mac OS10.8.5. I have been told this can be done in Preview but there doesn't seem to be a slide option and the slide shows up as opaque black, likewise don't see any slide option in Image Capture. Have downloaded MP Navigator EX but get list of supported models which does not include 8800F and need to install correspondent MP Navigator or MP Navigator EX and driver/scanner driver which supports my product model (have already downloaded driver which is supposedly correct). I'm very confused, will probably go for Vuescan option, but welcome any advice. (And why isn't there a scanner section in this forum?)

Why did my CanoScan 8800F stop scanning my 35mm slides into IPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)? I did it exactly the same way as I had done about two hundred other slides.

I had been using my CanoScan 8800F unit to transfer 35mm slides into digital pictures within my IPhoto 09, Version 8.1.2 (424).
All of a sudden it stopped transferring photos even though I could hear it scanning. Any ideas "why/"

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

Hi - I own a CanoScan 8800F scanner. I need help, I want to scan about 200 registrations.

As a membership secretary I receive about 200 registrations over a two month period. How can I scan them in and index them? Is there a software that will work with my CanoScan 8800F that will facilitate this?
Thanks, Bill

The instructions Lucia gave you were correct. It seems you have a Basic trial account (5 forms). You can just delete the forms you are not using so you can create more. Can you explain in more detail how those instructions above didn't work? I think there is some confusion so any details you can provide will help clear it up.

Mavericks X 10.9.4 does not recognize Canoscan 8800f scanner

I was previously using my Canoscan 8800f scanner. I had Canon on the phone for 30 minutes trying to resolve my scanning issue. I download all of the drivers necessary (see below) but I get a "Fatal Exception" message when opening the Canon Navigator. The Canon Support representative could see all of the appropraite software was installed, yet the Mac was not recognizing my scanner. The scanner was plugged into two different USBs with no success. The support rep suggested either get a new USB cord or call Apple. Hel
1) File Name: msd_-mac-8800f-13_9_2a-ej7.dmg
This file is a TWAIN-compliant scanner driver for Canon color image scanner.
2)
File Name: mmno-mac-mpnv10-1_0_0a-en.dmg
In OS X v10.7/10.8/10.9/10.10, you will need to set up MP Navigator EX 1.0 Opener with Image Capture before scanning using the Operation Panel or Scanner Buttons on the machine.
3)
File Name: mnve_1_0-mac-all-1_0_8-ej7.dmg
This application software allows you to scan, save and print photos and documents. You can also edit images, or attach images to e-mail using this application software.

Check in the Mac App Store to see if there are any new drivers for it. If not then try using Image Capture (already installed on your iMac) and attempt to scan from that. If you have never use IC then please click Mac Basics: Using a scanner - Apple Support for instructions.
If the scanner still cannot be seen then it's not directly compatible with OS X and you will need to buy a tool such as VueScan.

Updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 now I cannot print to my HP 4050 TN Laserjet nor scan from my Cannon 8800F

I have looked high and low, and pretty much all over the internet for a solution to this problem, especially for the printer, which I use frequently.
I have an HP 4050TN LaserJet printer that I had networked via ethernet to my iMac (when it was running just leopard) Once I did all the updates for 10.6.8, I found that my printer is nowhere to be seen, I can't add it. Nothing.
I found hp printer drivers for Lion, but I'm not going to get Lion, if i just have to turn around and get Mountain Lion in a couple of months anyway . . .
Regarding my Scanner:
When I try to use my Cannon CanoScan 8800F MP Navigater justs quits. . . .
Help??

A couple of things to try. Have you tried using Image Capture in the Applications folder for scanning - does it find the Canon?
You could also try resetting the printing system. Sometimes helps reslove printing problems:
System Preferences>Print & Fax, Control+Click or right click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

Correcting colour and contrast in scanned slides

I am investigating how to scan slides as accurately as possible, with the qualification that sometimes I may accept less than 100% accuracy for a better-looking image. I am in the midst of comparing several scanning methods, and at this stage one particular method stands above all the rest.
My original idea (before I started testing) was that I would not ask the scanner to do much processing of the raw image, that I would edit in Photoshop. The reasoning was: there's no better image-editing program than PS, and if PS (or its plugins) can't improve the image no other software could.
Well, it looks like I was wrong. I have tried to edit several raw scans, and using PS I can't get results that are as good as asking the scanner to edit the slides.
I have uploaded two sample scans to: http://www.mediafire.com/?z1w4ekew39dwa
Each scan has two versions: a "natural" scan out of the scanner (no corrections), and a corrected scan (suffix GB) using various scanner settings.
What intrigues me is that the scanner is able to automatically correct colour casts and improve contrast across a wide variety of slides. i.e. I have tested slides from the 1960s through to 2007 on various stock (Fuji, Anscochrome, Kodachrome, Ilfochrome). In almost all cases, and without changing the scan settings, images come up as good as the two uploaded images. The only setting I sometimes need to alter is what I call the "gamma", for slides that are underexposed or have a lot of dark regions where detail should be visible (and the reverse for overexposed slides).
Maybe I am not using PS to its full potential, so I am hoping that someone can have a go at editing the "natural" scans to see how close they can get to the corrected scans from the scanner – and then explain how they did it.
I am astounded at what the software inside this scanner can do with images. I thought PS was the be-all and end-all for images, but in my hands, PS comes in second and I'd like to know how to improve its performance.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Notes
1. I purposely choose challenging slides for testing. They either have a large contrast range with visible detail in the highlights and shadows; or colour casts; or bright saturated colours.
2. When testing, I compare all scanned images as seen on my computer screen with the original slide on a hand-held light box viewed through a loupe. For example, all colours in the image called Slide Scan 15 GB, even the metallic-looking sheen of the raincoats, appear as a close match to the original slide. The only significant colour variation is in the foreground rocks (which are a grey-brown colour in the slide), and the sky (which is a slightly darker blue in the slide). This slide is, maybe, 1/2 stop underexposed which explains the saturated colours and the dark "natural" scan.
3. The scanner spends a significant amount of time applying corrections. An 18 MB image (2000 dpi) might take 30 seconds to scan, then another minute for the corrections to be applied.

Scanning Slides for Printing by 3rd Party: Maximum Print Size Wanted

I am wanting to license a series of vintage slides via my Zazzle.com store. The images scanned from the slides would be printed on the various products that they sell. Ideally I am looking to obtain the maximum resulting image size in the hopes of offering some of the designs on smaller sized posters. Some of the images were taken with everyday cameras while others were taken with expensive cameras such as a Zeiss Contarex so am guessing the film grain quality is going to vary although all are mounted in standard slide frames.
I wanting to scan slides, or have slides scanned, into a lossless format such as tiff for archiving purposes, which would then be copied and opened inside photoshop and illustrator. I also have negatives from box cameras and similar older materials, but want to tackle the slides first.
From reading the posts here the two main strategies appear to be:
1. Do it yourself:
I've read various posts that say this may take a specialized scanner costing $2,000, while others claim a Epson V500 does just as good of job - of course I wondering if the person using the Epson is wanting to print commercial products from the designs.
What machines are recommended for use with Lion?
Also there appears to be a debate about the best software, such as Digital Ice or VueScan? Any suggestions?
2. Hire a 3rd party service:
One main concern here is the items could get lost.
The other major concern is how good are the resulting slides going to be. I've looked at various 3rd party sites that offer scanning and each appears to offer a differing opinion as to what dpi should be used. I understand that at a certain point a higher dpi setting is not going to obtain any further helpful information from the slide, but what exactly is the maximum setting that I should be shooting for? I see services offering 4,000 dpi, yet some of the dedicated slide scanners can go much higher so I am wondering if these services are just wanting to use the lower dpi to save on the resulting image size as opposed to obtaining the maximum print size?

Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

Get error message when trying to scan slides

HP Scanjet G4050. Latest drivers. Now up to 10.6.8 and when I try to scan slides or negatives, I get an error message: "Remove any objects from the scanner glass. Load your slides and negatives. Try scanning again."
I have scanned in the past. Is this a problem with 10.6.8? I have heard of printing problems with it. Should I revert to an earlier version of the OS?

Make sure your lid is pushed all the way down. I had the same problem, then I noticed a gap between the lid and base near the hinges. I opened the lid fully, pulled it out (straight up) then pushed it back down firmly. Works fine now. (Using OS X 10.7 with update from HP)

Difficulty scanning slides on my Epson V600 running Lion, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and can no longer use the Epson scan application or the plug in for Photoshop. Should I revert back to leopard in my time machine to finish scanning my family slides?

I am running Lion 10.7.5, Adobe Photoshop CS6, scanning slides on my Epson V600 and can no longer use the scan application or the plug in for Photoshop. Should I revert back to leopard in my time machine to finish scanning my family slides?
In 10.7 there is not a twain that works with Photoshop for importing with all the options needed to scan transparencies. I noticed that when I was scanning in October 2012 I was still using CS6 so somehow I was managing to be able to use all the scan features.
They sell 2nd party software (VieScan and Silverscript)which I found to be just mimially OK and very hard to use.
I just want to scan like I used to.
Can I use time machine to go back to an earlier operating sysytem LEOPARD, and then do my scans and then save the photos and them go back to the LION system?
I spent 7 hours trying crazy solutions - downloading Windows CS2 Photoshop and then using a program so I could run it on the apple. Then I couldn't figure out how to put a plug in for the scanner in the stupid windows Photoshop program. Googgling the computer like a mad woman trying to ask questions. I am not giving up...
Please help if you can...
Thanks...

I assume you've tried using Image Capture. Give VueScan a try.

I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

How do I enlarge a scanned slide in iPhoto? It scanned fine but appears quite small in the middle of the page, surrounded by black.

How do I enlarge a scanned slide that I have imported to iPhoto? My Epson printer scanned it fine but I would like to make it larger, instead of having it appear small and in the middle of the screen, surrounded by black.

Zoom into it. There's a slider at the bottom of the iPhoto Window.
Next time, try scanning to a larger size.

Cropping a scanned slide automatically

Does Photoshop have the facility to crop a scanned slide automatically? When I scan, I make the scan selection in the scanner a fair bit larger than the slide to accommodate all slides. i.e. if I'm scanning a number of slides they can end up in slightly different positions in the scanner. So as not to have to adjust the scan selection each time, I make it larger than required. Then I have to remove the black that surrounds the slide in PS.
I can do it manually a number of ways. The easiest appears to be to set up a template selection and move it around for each slide. But that takes time. So I'm hoping PS, or other software, can analyse an image of a slide and, knowing that there are four straight sides involved in a slide, accurately crop to the sides. Even better if it could crop to the rounded corners of older slide mounts.
One difficulty will be when the slide itself has dense black on the edges that may be confused with the black of the slide surround. That's why I mentioned straight edges. The software I'm hoping for would know that four straight edges are expected and somehow it would dismiss any dense blacks close to the edge of the slide.

Have you tried File > Automate > Crop and Straighten Photos?
