Why can't Photoshop 7.0 see my Epson scanner ?

Hi everyone!
This is probably more a Photoshop/Epson compatability problem but I thot I'd post it here anyway, as I'm sure I'm not alone in my struggle..
Just upgraded to Photoshop 7.0, only to find that it can't see my scanner anymore (an Epson Perfection 1240U) when I try to access it via File>Import>TWAIN as I prefer to do. It worked fine in Photoshop 6.0 I have to point out.
I went to epson.com and downloaded the recommended driver updates, and now I can see the scanner listed under Import but still no dice when I try to start the device - my Mac tells me there is no scanner installed.
Anyone know enough to shed some light on this situation?
Thanks in advance

Hi again Joe!
Well thanks, I tried your advice but to no avail.
I installed at: Apps>Adobe PS7>Plug-Ins>Import/Export>TWAIN>Contents>Mac OS (here I could also choose Mac OS Classic but didn't)>Epson Scanner
After getting a "Requires restart" message, the "Epson Screen Callibration" box opened up and wether I completed it or not, my Mac froze and I had to force-quit before re-starting manually. On restart, when clicking on Twain Installer to try again, I got a "Mac OS9 starting" warning!! Checking the Epson Scanner file I found it empty, even though I tried the process (& variations on the process) several times - always the same.
So really, I dunno what might work. Maybe removing all Twain files from everywhere and reinstalling but I dont think I dare! I can still scan from PS6 so that's what I'm doing..
Maybe I'll try Epson as you suggest, though I've heard they aren't so helpful.
Thanks for your time Joe!

  • Why can't I Share or see shared music???????

    recently downloaded latest itunes version (7.1.1.5). I have the settings set to share music and look for shared music. I am on a network with hundreds of people and I can't see any folders but other people can see each other. Why can't I see anything? I checked and my firewall is not on either...

    It could also be that no one else has their library opened up for sharing.
    If that was the case then the other people couldn't see each other.

  • Why can't photoshop access my iPhoto images?

    I am using Photoshop CS2 and just upgraded to iLife 11. I had no problems accessing images with old iPhoto. I am also having trouble backing up my iPhoto library to external HD. get error -36. I repaired permissions, downloaded iPhoto update and OSX 10.6.8. Any suggestions? I am also unable to create new projects, books, etc in iPhoto . The program freezes and I have to force quit.

    1. Photoshop can access the photos in iPhoto and in exactly the same way it always did.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    2. The -36 error is an i/o error. Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Photoshop Elements 8 import from Epson Scanner?

    How can I get Photoshop Elements 8 to import from my Epson scanner?  On my previous computer, the scanner just showed up when I selected "Import" under File?  I've spent 2.0 hours with the supposed "tech support" in India and they had no idea.  I've been using Elements 4 on my iMac for years and it worked perfectly.  Help!
    I'm starting to learn that I just spent good money for Elements 8 for nothing.  It would appear that Epson has refused to make a TWAIN plugin for Photoshop Elements 8 so it will talk to the scanner and the program seems to be filled with bugs wshen used with Snow Leopard.  Anyone have any answers?

    There is a Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Why can't Photoshop resize images correctly?

    This seems like a pretty basic function, but my copy of Photoshop can't do it right. Specifically, I'm using CS4, but I have a feeling that doesn't matter. I'd appreciate it if someone else would check to see if their copy of Photoshop works correctly either. Here's some quick step-by-step instructions to try it out:
    Step 1 - Create a new file that is 4 pixels wide by 4 pixels tall. (Use basic options: 72 pixels/inch, RGB Color, Square Pixels, etc.)
    Step 2 - Using the pencil tool, draw a red dot (1 pixel wide/tall) in each corner. So that the image looks like this:
    Step 3 - In the menu, go to "Image" > "Image Size..." and increase the width and height of the image to 400 pixels using "Nearest Neighbor".
    Now here's the image I end up with:
    So we started with a 4x4 image, and now we have a 400x400 image. The math here isn't too difficult: 4 x 100 = 400. So each of our red dots in the corners should now be 100x100 pixels each. Simple enough, right?
    Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. The red dot in the upper-left corner is now 97x97 pixels. The red dot in the upper-right corner is now 103x97 pixels. The red dot in the lower-left corner is now 97x103 pixels. And the red dot in the lower-right corner is now 103x103 pixels.
    I guess Photoshop seems to think that both of the following statements are simultaneously true:
    1 x 100 = 97
    1 x 100 = 103
    Am I alone in experiencing this buggy behavior? Or does everyone else get the same result? Is there some way to fix it?
    Thanks for giving it a try!

    I can confirm the problem here on Photoshop CS6 Extended x64 using Windows 7.
    Adobe has never placed too much emphasis on getting things pixel-perfect in Photoshop - it is more fuzzy and touchy-feely philosophically.  This is not only illustrated by the problem noted above, but also by things like a selection made by a selection tool is often off by a pixel this way or that, paths snapped to things still don't *quite* overlap, etc.
    They seem unwilling to change things that have been in the product a while, because apparently when they do so they inadvertently break other things.  And I can't say I blame them...  Given the apparent size of the code base and the extreme age of the software, I wonder what the development cost would be In order to fix something like this across the board, so that every operation really is pixel-perfect.  It might be the kind of thing that a complete redesign from the ground up is needed to fix.  Even then I guarantee you there would be problems.
    To Adobe's defense, having been through the development of graphics software myself, I can authoritatively state that actually getting everything pixel-perfect is quite challenging in a world where computing can be done with integers or floating point numbers of various precisions, where no one can quite agree whether a pixel's coordinate identifies its center or one of the corners, where coordinate systems change depending on what subsystem you're using, and where OpenGL documentation recommends you offset your pixels by (0.375, 0.375) in order to ensure they align properly (no kidding).

  • Why can't I share (or see on the ipad) a folio anymore?

    Hi, I am new to this.
    I have three folios in my Folio Producer dashboard. Two I can share and show up with Adobe Digital Viewer on my ipad. The third (Catalogo) I can't share adn does not show up.
    I can preview it on my pc, but no way to see it with Adobe Digital Viewer on an ipad.
    Since it is a big file (150M), and I updated a number of times, I thought there might be some limit in the number of downloads each folio is allowed. But this is not written anywhere. I set up a second adobe ID account for test, and shared all three folios on that account ([email protected] pass samurai). If you log in you will see that there are only two folio, and catalogo is nowhere to be seen. I also tried to delete and re-upload the folio under a different name. I opened a ticked with the technical service seven days ago, and did not get any answer. The person did not know DPS, and said he would send a mail to the experts
    Thanks

    Hi Tomasz,
    that is what I did. BTW now it works. I previewed the whole thing on my laptop and it gave me this error "different resolution size" on three chapters. I deleted the chapters and now it works. I need them to put them in again - once I figure our what he means by "different resoltion size". The size of the document isn pixels is exactly the same.
    thanks

  • Why can't I read or see my email that's in the inbox

    I received my mail and looked at it but when I returned it says I have 4 messages but I don't know how to access them. Please help?

    Hey nikki_xx,
    Thanks for the question. I can definitely understand your frustration, but you are almost there! Once you land on the home page of the iTunes Store, look towards the top to see a black navigation bar:
    How to browse and buy content from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1879
    In this navigation bar, you can choose the content type (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc). Simply click TV Shows and you'll be taken to the TV Show featured page. You can then browse, or even search for your favorite titles.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I access the "See more..." section of people's long posts on Facebook? I used to on Firefox and I still can on Safari but no more on Firefox..

    When people write a long status update on Facebook, the site shows the first few sentences and then adds a blue hot link. The link says "See more..." and mouse clicking this allows you to see the complete status. It saves space on Facebook.
    I always accessed this feature on Firefox but since the last update it isn't working. I went to Safari and the blue linking text functions perfectly. Only on Firefox is it disabled. Clicking the link does nothing.
    I checked preferences in Firefox but could find nothing that would cause this to happen.
    Please tell me how to make the link functional again.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Also try the following if the above did not solve your issue;
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

    Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive.  I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10  There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP).  Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine.  I'm puzzled.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

  • Why can't both admin users see all the fonts?

    About half the fonts are missing for one of two admin users. This is in Adobe CS6 and Microsoft Word. All fonts are located in Mac HD/library/fonts not in the user libraries. They also are shown in Font Book as OK. Ive tried reinstalling Mavericks but makes no difference.

    If you're using Font Book, the most common cause is a corrupt Font Book database.
    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). In your case, choose the account that isn't working correctly. Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.

  • Why can't my samsung laptop see my iphone?

    I am trying to get my phone contacts on to my iphone but my laptop doesn't see my connected phone. I am trying to use Nokia Suite.

    If you're using the Nokia software, it probably won't see the iPhone. You need to sync contacts through a cloud service, like iCloud or Google.
    If the software is supposed to see the iPhone, contact Nokia for assistance.

  • Why can't Photoshop CS4 open/save as PNG?

    I recently had to downgrade to CS4 and I've been having A LOT of issues with it. The biggest one being the inability to cooperate with PNG files.
    Online I've seen a few sollutions and I tried them all. I have PNG.8BI in my plug-ins folder in my Program Files, I ran it through my antivirus and it came back clean, I'm working in RBG color mode. Still nothing.
    Any other ideas?

    System: Windows 7
    Third party plug-ins: Not to my knowledge?
    Quicktime: I believe so.
    Save Method: I save as two copies, one in the default Photoshop format (PSD) and then I hit "save as" to save as PNG.

  • Why can't photoshop CS6 installer initialize on my Mac?

    Hi everybody,
    Just today, I was trying to download Photoshop CS6 trial from Adobe's website.
    I downloaded the .dmg file, and mounted it.
    In the window that popped up, it contained a blue folder.
    I clicked it, and a window containing several files and a red installer popped up.
    I clicked the red installer, and an installer launched.
    Then, about half way through the initializing, a warning window popped up, saying that "the installer could not initialize".
    What's wrong with photoshop?
    I've tried this many times, but every time being a failure.
    My Mac runs OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.

  • Why can't iTunes for Windows see airport express 1st Gen

    I have a 1st Generation Airport Express that was working prior to the most recent update of iTunes for Windows 7-64bit.  The device is located on an access point router.  My PC is conneced to a 2nd Access Point Router. I have tried multiple configurations of the AE with no success.  I even tried installing on the the same access point as the PC with no luck.  I have also tried connecting with the Firewall disabled and added itunes.exe to the list of programs ignored by my security software.
    The Airport Utility can find the AE and I use Airfoil to stream to the AE for other applications and it works just fine.  Even with iTunes.  I'm listening to iTunes using Airfoil to the AE as I type this.
    The more I use iTunes the more I hate it.  My iPad and iPhone cannot use the Remote app to connect to iTunes either so I am sure its all related.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated:
    Below is a more detailed explanation of my network.
    Primary Internet rounter/modem is for uVerse.
    3 secondary routers configured as access points - 1 Linksys WNDR3700, 1 Cisco AE4200, and 1 Cisco AE4500 (all on different floors).
    The AE4500 is connected to the uVerse Router
    The AE4200 and WNDR3700 ares connected to the AE4500
    The Airport Express is connected via ethernet with no wireless to the AE4500. 
    I need a network genius to figure this out!

    Seems to be working now.
