Scanning using Canon mp540 and Photoshop

Hi, maybe slightly off-topic here, but does anyone know of any generic (or Canon) software which can be used to scan from within Photoshop CS4?
Canon have proved pretty poor in responding to this question and I'd just like to cut out one extra programme in the scanning cycle.
thanks

I just wanted to add to this thread in case any other MP760 owners come across it. Apologies that it isn't specifically ananswer to your question, but it might help someone.
Canon have not updated the MP760 drivers since 10.6 and it's unlikely they ever will. If you own one you'll find that things start to go wrong as soon as you upgrade to 10.7. Canon's TWAIN driver allows scanning into Photoshop in 32 bit, so you'll need to run Photoshop in 32 bit mode to use it. Even then you'll find that the Preview in flatbed scanning mode no longer works. You can still scan, but you can't see what you're scanning. However, in 35mm transparency mode, everything still works fine, including Preview. If you STAY on 10.7 but upgrade to Photoshop CS6 TWAIN doesn't seem to work at all, I suspect because Canon's implementation is 32 bit and pretty old by now. However, Image Capture, Apple's software which uses Apple's own drivers instead of TWAIN will allow you to do flatbed scans to TIFF and the Preview DOES work. 35mm transparency scanning doesn't work. Since Photoshop CS6 now prefers to use Apple's system rather than TWAIN, you can also scan straight into Photoshop,with Previews, but without the 35mm transparency option. VueScan looked like a good option, but from the posts above, it seems that 35mm still won't work.
So: if you own a Canon MP760 or similar and use Photoshop, by all means upgrade to CS6 while you can still get it, but DON'T delete your older Photoshop version if you want to scan transparencies.

  • How to set up Yosemite 10.10.1 to print and scan using CANON PIXMA MP780 (on MacBook Pro). Thanks. Bozdogan

    How to set up Yosemite 10.10.1 to print and scan using CANON PIXMA MP780 on MacBook Pro (Pre-Yosemite operating system OS X10.6.8)?
    Yosemite 10.10.1 doesn't seem to support MP780. Also, CANON doesn't have a driver for Yosemite 10.10.1 for its MP 780 series.
    Thanks. Bozdogan  (at [email protected])

    I believe you should be able to print wirelessly using your MBP and printer. However, you will want to visit the Canon home site and download the current drivers and firmware for your printer. Once you've done this, I hope you'll post back with your results.

    You're going to need both drivers and firmware.

  • Recommended hardware configuration when using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

    Hello!
    I am an Illustrator who uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop most of the time. Today I am using Adobe CS5.5 suite and is thinking of getting the Adobe CC. As my computer today is abit old and "tired", I am unsure about what to focus on when updating my hardware?
    I am using today a HP workstation with following hardware:
    Software:
    Windows 7
    Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5
    Hardware:
    Processor:              Intel i7-2600 3,4GHz
    Internal memory:     8,00 GB DDR3
    Disc drive:               500GB SATA disk 7200rpm
    Graphics card:        NVIDIA GeForce GT 1GB
    Since I work both with Technical Illustrations with loads of anchor points in Adobe Illustrator, I get sometimes error messages like "Out of memory" and such. I read about having two discs, one system disc and one work folder disc, that would solve that problem. But I am also working alot with large illustrations for comercial and advertising situations and I feel that it tend to get a bit slow, especially when I add gradients and blendmodes to an illustration.
    So If I could get som recomendations of what to focus on to boots the speed in my system, also taking into account that my budget is somewhat small, I would really appreciate it!
    Best regards
    Ulf

    I have similar setup to yours.
    From my point of view you need more RAM. I have 16GB. Than you will need to change in preferences to adjust memory used by PS and Illustrator. Maybe take a look at virtual memory in Windows and disable aero effects.
    Disk. It is better to have one disk for system (eg.SSD) and one for documents. But don't buy something like WD Green series that is intended for backup.
    Graphics. It is not a major player I think for your tasks, but OpenGl can speed up rendering in Photoshop and Illustrator.
    When exporting AI with layers to PSD it will always show "out of memory" unless you turn off anti aliasing.
    and the most important thing reinstall Windows after some time... It will work faster.

  • I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer

    I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer. I have a FireWire that works fine with my ZR830 but not with the 850.  The connection isn't registering.  What can I do?

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

  • How do I maintain print quality resolution when using both Lightroom and Photoshop?

    I usually edit only in LIghtroom, but in this recent photoshoot, the woman's skirt lining was peeking out and I need to photoshop it out.  When I try to do this and save it in Photoshop, the file size drops dramatically and I'm guessing the picture quality.  I also tried to right-click on the picture in Lightroom and choose "Edit in" photoshop, but Photoshop told me I couldn't use the clone tool unless I changed from 16 bit color depth to 8 bit because it had limited support for 16 bit.  I know there has to be a way to do this.  Any ideas?  By the way, I am using LIghtroom 3.6 and an old Photoshop Elements 5.0.

    I am not completely convinced that your Premiere Elements 7 project settings are not at the core of your problems.
    1. You say that you have 1280 x 720 at X progressive frames per second (probably .mov) from a Canon camera and presumed 1920 x 1080 16:9 .mts @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (aka 60i). What are you setting as the project preset in the new project dialog? Are you just OK'd it and accepting the default which would be NTSC DV Standard (720 x 480)?
    2. As for versions 11 and 12 helping you out with an automatic project preset, sometimes it does it OK and sometimes it does not. So, that feature is not a given cure all for an inappropriate project preset. Whatever the Premiere Elements version, you need to know the properties of your source media and set the project preset accordingly or make sure the program is doing it right. And, when you have a Timeline with a mixed of formats, you need to set priorities.
    Is the .mov and .mts both affected by the issue or just one?
    Three things to look at:
    a. The quality of just the 1280 x 720 in a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    HDV
    HDV 720p30
    b. The quality of just the1920 x 1080 in a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080p30
    c. Then look at the quality of both brought into a Premiere Elements 7 project set for
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080p30
    Please consider. And, if you decide to check out the above, please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • What is the best way to sharpen using both Lightroom_4 and Photoshop CS6?

    I want to learn the best way to sharpen various subjects.  I have Martin Evening's latest Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 books, but no mention of which methods are better,  or better for which subjects/conditions.  It seems that Camera Raw and Lightroom are the same, so I'm tempted to just do it all in Lightroom with the Develop module Detail panel, and the adjustment brush for local sharpening. But can I be doing more with Photoshop CS6, or Lightroom and Photoshop together?

    Lightroom and Photoshop have different capabilities.  Photoshop power lies in layers so sharpening in Photoshop is best done using a sharpening layer which can be blended and masked into layers below.  Lightroom is more a image developer then and editor and does not have layer support.  Both Lightroom and Photoshop use Adobe RAW conversion engine to develop images.  Adobe RAW Conversion Engine has very good sharpening and noise reduction capabilities. Sharpening and Noise reduction is more or less a balancing act to much sharpening enhances noise to much noise reducing loose details and add softness.  Though both Photoshop and Lightroom use the same Adobe RAW conversion engine they use different user interfaces when they use Adobe RAW conversion engine.  Lightroom also lacks Layer support.

  • Problem using LR4.1 and Photoshop CS6

    Using the "Edit In" option to open an image from LR 4.1 in Photoshop CS6 where it will have the "Oil Paint" filter applied. The resulting image when saved does not show up in the LR 4.1 collection from which the original came. The file itself is save to the disk but unlike other times when the "Edit In" feature has been used the resultant image is not made part of the Collection. Has anyone else seen this problem?

    richardplondon wrote:
    However, this does not necessarily mean that this new image will immediately show in the same Collection, Smart collection, filmstrip view or grid view as the starting image does; or even if it does, it may not appear next to the starting image.
    That is all merely a question, of how exactly you are viewing the image library at this given moment, and of what attributes and properties the various image versions have, which are relevant to that. The original and the edited versions filter, select, sort, have membership in Collections, etc independently.
    For the Photoshop edited version to be placed automtically back into a collection the user must first have sent the original to Photoshop from within that collection. Sending it to Photoshop from within a folder means that edited version it will not be placed into a collection, irrespective of whether the original was in one or not.

  • Need to Find a Very Responsive Mouse for Use w/ MP and Photoshop

    I have a Logitech mouse that came with my Logitech keyboard for Mac and the Kensington Studio Mouse - both wireless. But they don't work that well with Photoshop CS2 especially because the software for the Kensington doesn't work with Intel Macs and I haven't found an update for it.
    So, is there a very responsive wireless Mouse with software that will work with an Intel MP?
    Thanks.

    I certianly can't complain about the Logitech MX-1000 I'm using.
    For mice I shy away from Bluetooth versions as the response is rather pathetic. There was a wired mouse that I saw someone recommend (I think it was Guy Mancuso) which seems to be an extremely goo performer although for the life of me I can't recally whay it was called or where it were from.
    By the way, have you tried configuring the Mac OS X or LCC software? A bit of configuration can go a long way in getting the response you want.

  • Which Raw plug-in using Nikon D7000 and Photoshop Elements 7 for importing NEF files?

    Cannot import NEF files from Nikon D7000.
    Which Raw plug-in is avalible for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7? According to Help sites version 6.3 is needed, But is it kompatible with Elements /??
    Please help!

    It’s not possible to update PSE7 beyond ACR 5.5. You have two alternatives:
    1) Upgrade to PSE 10. 2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 6.5

  • Problems with using Canon LiDE 210 and OSX 10.7.4

    I am getting nowhere with installing the Canon LiDE 210 scanner software on my 2010 MBP. All I get when I try to scan is "insufficient memory". I can scan using Image Capture and with the trial VueScan software so the problem looks as if it is something to do with the Canon software or the way that it installs on the MBP. Has anyone else had a similar problem or can anyone suggest a fix? Many thanks

    Hellooo, I realise this thread is a year old and yet I'm having some real difficulty, hopefully this will fall on someones ears...
    Firstly I have a mac mini bought recently and running on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 I tried downloading what is apparently the most up to date drvier and mp navigator for use with the CanoScan LiDE 210 meaning, that both the driver and mp navigator are compatible with Mountain Lion. Here is the following link I used that was forwarded to me by Canon:
    http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100434402.html
    http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0200153502.html
    I install both of the downloads, plug in the scanner, and nothing... no noise, no beep nothing to say that it is on. I try and open the scanner through system preferences-printer/scanner-canoscan icon yet I am then presented with the message; "failed to open a session on this device"
    Strange, I call canon back and they do not know what else to suggest apart from all the usual trouble shooting, the type that is very patronising and annoying... did you click the icon and press scan, did you click the install button after downloading the software... the sort of thing that might otherwise result in the beating, of ones own face with the phone
    At the end of this call, and after forwarding me a couple more useless links to unworkable downloads they say that it must be the product, and that I should contact the seller for a replacement.
    So I do, I contact Amazon, I get my replacement and voila, exactly the same problem.
    I even try getting it going using my mbp which is on snow leopard, which means I can use the installation disc that it is packed with it, it makes a noise, it sounds like its turning on but then when I click "open scanner" ... nothing, no option to scan, no acknowledgement of the device other than the icon itself in system preferences.
    Does anyone have any experience of this issue, does anyone know how I might resolve it?
    Many thanks,
    Jeff

  • Printing Problem with Pro-100 and Photoshop

    This is my setup: using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6. I have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up OK. First thing printed was a page from a document from MS Word on 8.5X11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up Photoshop and open a 4X6 inch image (just a snapshot in jpeg, landscape format) to do a test print.  I set it up in the print dialog as 4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop manages the color.  I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.
    Now, when it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and it starts printing on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out.  It does this in Photoshop (any image, it doesn't matter), and it does it printing from Nikon’s Capture NX.  I have been able to get it to print on the paper correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either. I want to be able to print from Photoshop. I have the most recent Canon driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same problem?  I don’t think I’ve overlooked anything. Thanks JMDavis!

  • Using Adobe Bridge and iPhoto together

    I use Adobe Bridge (and Photoshop) to work on my photos. iPhoto is not an option since I shoot in Camera RAW. I also own an Apple TV and want to store all of my photos in iPhoto so they are available to the rest of my family via Apple TV. Has anyone figured out a way to do image manipulation first in Bridge & Photoshop and then have them sent (or later updated) in iPhoto in an automated fashion?
    Conceptually, every time I add or change a photo in Bridge or Photoshop, I'd like to convert it to JPG, and add or modify the image in iPhoto.

    Also make sure PS's File handing preferences "Macimize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" is set to Always and that there are no alpha channels in the file. An alpha channel will cause the black image that you're referring to.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
